Archangel One by Evan Currie

4.0

Definitely brought up more questions than it answered, but that just left me dying to start the next book. It sounds like this is a spinoff or continuation of his Odyssey series and that you should start with Into the Black before reading this one. I didn't realize that until after I finished this one, but still felt Archangel One can stand on its own. The characters have names, nicknames, and call signs, so it gets a bit confusing on who is who, but once you realize it's all the same person (Steph, Stepanos, Michaels, etc.) it's not too bad. There are times when it gets a bit technical, but it's a SciFi, so I kind of expect that and kind of like that part of it. I could feel my heart rate increasing during the battle scenes and rooting for things to go well and cheering them on when they did, and feeling their disappointment when they didn't.

You jump back and forth between different ships and different races in each chapter. I feel like you need a chart to keep track of who is with who, I will definitely be doing that the next time I read it.

I never thought I would get so invested in the different characters in a book that is under 300 pages, but I did. Can't wait to dive into the second book and start on the series that came before this one. I am definitely an Evan Currie fan!
