I read many 4 star books in April and I don't know that this was the best, but it is the one I've thought of most often since, and recommended to people.

The Animorphs series in general has been a highlight for me this year - originally published in 1997, Little Me was too busy reading Baby Sitters Club books to even give these a second look 🤣 and I really missed out! Better late than never!
The storylines are often bonkers and the themes are BIG and often heavy but there‘s always some banter and great friends to soften the blow…

Cute horror and snarky AI combine to create this weird, wild adventure. The book is funny and entertaining, and I can picture it as a movie. The spaceship itself is enlisted in the fight against evil monsters. Ya gotta love it!

On the third day of Christmas my favorite book of March was Parable of the Sower. The author's vision of the future 2025 made it difficult to read but the story remained compelling.

Picked this one up again after a long bit. The database still tags the wrong author. Una McCormack writes Spock perfectly, you can hear Leonard Nimoy speak. Spock tells his life story to Jean-Luc Picard on the eve of his mission to prevent the Romulan star going nova, one he will fail, as the 2009 movie shows. So good.

The handful of times that I chuckled did not make up for the writing that was as dry as an Encyclopedia Britannica. I wanted to DNF, but I felt that I had to finish for my boyfriend‘s book club. This is exactly why I didn‘t want to be in a book club 😂.

Kirk saves the day, the Romulan Praetor's honour is saved, the female love interest dies as a motivation for the war hero (because 1990s), the agrarian planet gets a new market for their “gran“ and the deluded admiral just gives up on his evil plans because the plot requires it. Not the best Star Trek novel by any means. Too many POVs changing in a jarring manner. Diane Duane this is not. A solid Meh.
I reaaaaaaally liked Starter Villain so I had to pick this one up.
There were a little tooooo many different POVs and I definitely got lost in them, making it hard to keep track of the story line.
But I do love his wild ideas and will continue to pick up his books!

This book takes the standard ‘small group on a mission‘ trope and… does not do much with it. Poe Dameron is brave, feisty, and a good leader, but this tale is not very original, harboring few surprises. Pretty much only for STAR WARS fans; anyone else can find more fun and adventure elsewhere.
