Essentially a "filler episode" in this series where barely anything of long-term plot importance happens. Full review: https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/2019/05/08/mini-review-its-grim-and-dark-for-kids-2/

Picking up shortly after the conclusion to Attack of the Necron, this is all about the situation for the gang getting worse before it can get better. Despite the threat of the necron having been dealt with, the sense of danger only increases as Talen stumbles upon cave-dwelling monsters and the children are (temporarily) forced to figure things out without the comforting presence of Fleapit the Jokaero. The rapid pace of events keeps the plot moving nicely while allowing for a satisfying development of the tense relationships between the three children, Talen proving the main source of disruption – distrusting Fleapit and Mekki and reacting poorly to what he sees as Zelia’s bossiness. It’s an effective continuation of the story, upping the stakes with additional tension between characters and the introduction of new enemies, building up to a breathless escape and a teasing cliffhanger.

This one was really cool. These are definitely for kids, but the story is still fun. I could see using it as a basis for an RPG. I look forward to the next one.

They made it off the planet but the darkness closes in. A good mix of childrens adventure and the darker world of the Warhammer 40K universe. The Genestealers are terrifying and the fact that even one is alive causing all that damage makes me wonder if they will ever survive. A much darker twist with a good mix of arguments and infighting. I am loving this series... cliffhangers and all.

This is the second book in the Warped Galaxies series. This was another fast paced, action packed, entertaining, easy to read book. However I didn't find this installment as engrossing and engaging as the first in the series. I didn't enjoy the ending especially given the cliff hanger which was my main issue with the ending. It felt a pit contrite and like it wasn't necessary, but forced to build desire to read the next book in the series. However I will be giving the next book in the series a read before I form an opinion on the series as a whole.
