rheren's review against another edition

It's funny that I read this just a couple weeks after reading the old sci-fi classic "Princess of Mars", because this is what pulp sci-fi of that vein looks like today. I have liked the others in the Jason Wander series, but this one stretched my credulity too far: the circumstances that led our 3 main characters to be stranded in another galaxy, the convenient way that they are allowed to work their way up to where they can do what everyone (repeatedly, ad nauseum) says is impossible, and how easy the "impossible" ends up being. It had some mildly interesting ideas, but I just didn't feel that it was up to the standard of Orphanage or Orphan's Destiny.

An enjoyable, easy read with engaging characters. Though I am reading the series out of order.

The book is ok as such but almost all of it is spent stranded on a primitive planet which is not really my cup of tea.

Kinda slow, then kinda too fast at the end! This was a departure from the previous books in the series, and very much reminded me at times of The Time Machine and the world found there.

1. I liked this book. Really, I did. I forgot how much I love Jason. He tries his best and I just want him to be happy. Also made me feel old. I read Orphanage back when I was a teenager so when Jason thinks about how far he’s come since then I’m just like wow me too buddy.
2. It’s a pretty smooth read like the previous two books but oh boy I had no idea where we were going. It’s a wild ride but an enjoyable one. I had to suspend even more disbelief than usual but I’m okay with that.

While entertaining enough, I found the switch from the previous books' focus on plausible (for soft sci-fi) futuristic combat to a swords and planets-esque tale of dinosaur-riding barbarians to be a little jarring.
