I thought the art and character designs were cool, but in terms of the story, I felt the pacing wasn't for me. We follow a comic artist who feels like their art (and life) is missing purpose, a spark, *something*. Then they encounter an alien who reveals that Earth is going to be destroyed. It's pretty much a rollercoaster of events after that. If you like fast paced stories with a *saving the world* theme, I think you'll like this.

A cute fast-paced read about a graphic novelist who helps save the world from aliens.

The library in my hometown now features graphic novels on their new release shelves. I stumbled on this one when I popped in for a quick visit.

How cute is this book? Spoiler alert: SO cute! [This has not yet been tested on the grands, but I'm completely entertained.]

This book made me WHEEZE because I was laughing so hard - the yeerks have a major weakness and it‘s maple and ginger instant oatmeal. Jake had a monologue about oatmeal not playing a major role in famous historical battles and Rachel solved problems by going through walls in elephant morph and making it Visser Three‘s problem by throwing the oats into a yeerk pool and him in after it.

No notes.

“We can‘t back out now,” Marco said. “I‘ve 36 boxes of maple and ginger instant oatmeal at home, in easy open single serve pouches.”

53/100 I did enjoy the world building and the unique alien species, but I found the ending disappointing and vague. I am assuming the author plans a sequel, because this was left too open to really qualify as a conclusion. Too many unanswered questions, too many dangling plot points. If there is a sequel, I'd probably read it just to see what happens to the friendroe. 3.5/5 #Read2025 #LitsySciFiBookClub

Constituent Service | John Scalzi

Many years into the future, Earth has welcomed countless alien immigrants. Main characte/human Ashley is on her first day of the job serving the myriad aliens with constituent services—a sort of help desk—for the Third District. She helps a number of them right off the bat, with an upbeat, can-do attitude putting her on a collision course with a terror no one else in the city is aware of. Unbelievably all the little threads of stories come ⬇️

Texreader together perfectly. I‘ve enjoyed almost all the Scalzi books I‘ve read, and this one might top them. I loved it! #authoramonth 1mo
Soubhiville Sounds great! 1mo

3.5⭐️ Read for an online #bookclub; very different from what I usually would read. Thought it was quite good, but the #audiobook was a bit creepy at times (I listened to the audio while I read it). Liked the perspective that it gave. #2025 #genremashup #literary #sciencefiction
