Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was hesitant to read this after some of the reviews online, but I really like it. A great, original story about superheroes and supervillains with a completely new approach. It felt a little like a prelude to The Incredibles by Disney, with maybe a little Watchmen /The Boys thrown in for added measure.

I thought that the main character was wonderful, and I loved the supporting characters. It was easy to see what they would look like in my mind’s eye as I read the book in a little less than a week’s time.

I cannot wait for the follow-up story.

Network Effect by Martha Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am loving the Murderbot Diaries more with each book. Although the first four were short, more like novellas and one story, not separate stories, this book was a true novel, with over 300 pages, and one story.

Love that this storyline continues to include characters from the first four novellas and that Murderbot continues to grow as a character. I cannot wait to read #6! I have already requested it from my local library.
