The distance from hero to monster will be counted in corpses.
Millicent Cuff leads a regular teenage life. She hikes in the hills, obsesses over boys and is desperate to leave a good impression at her upcoming birthday celebration. When an experimental aircraft crashes close to her village, she recovers a strange broken sphere from the wreckage. The life she knew will be forever changed when an army places her village under siege and comes for her. Hellinix, a shadowy multinational corporation, wants their artifact back and will stop at nothing to get it, even if that means threatening her friends and family. But they hadn’t counted on the other village secret: that Millicent’s father and his closest friends are some of the hardest men on the planet—retired SAS commandos. But when Millicent goes to ground to hide the sphere and receives a significant head-wound, Hellinix will wish they had killed her when they had the chance. She was trained by her dad to survive. She’s used to taking hard knocks. But this battle will leave more than physical scars. Siege is the dark, action-packed prequel to the Zero-Point Awakening Series: a quirky serialized science-fiction thriller.

As promised in my previous email, here's another review from the series The Expanse.
Persepolis’ Rising uncovers what happens to the Martian fleet and who was behind Marco Inaros’s
foolish plan. That man was a tool in the hands of a greater mind, although that doesn’t mean greater is a compliment. As I see it, it’s the problem with dictators: they may have fantastic ideas for the future but it’s always a utopia and in the hands of humans it becomes a dystopia.
I found this book way better than the last four. If you read my previous reviews, you know I much enjoyed book 1 and even more book 2. This one can compare to them. The villain, Singh, is solid in his beliefs. So much so that I almost felt compassion for him from the start. Not really a brilliant mind, but rather human in his flaws. This always makes for a good story. For once, even with point of views shifting among many characters, I didn’t feel lost or uninterested like in the previous book. I devoured this one wanting to know how Singh would respond to the insurgents and what they would do to next. And I was never disappointed. There's an increasing tension page after page, and there was only one moment when I knew what was going to happen exactly. It still didn’t spoil the book.
Again, I found some mistakes, like minor typos, repetitions at the beginning of a sequence of sentences, and a disturbing episode of head-hopping where someone (I don’t recall who) knew exactly what someone else was thinking, but this character isn't a mind reader, which means it couldn't know. It's the kind of mistakes a newbie could do. I'm kind of surprised to see them in a traditionally published book. However, I found these same mistakes in other best selling authors, so I shouldn't be surprised at all.
I give this book 4,5 stars, and now on with book 8, which I'm already enjoying as I write this piece.
