Attack the Geek by Michael R. Underwood

3.0

Attack the Geek is a "side quest" novella in the Ree Reyes series that takes place after Celebromancy. I don't think you have to have read Geekomancy, or Celebromancy to understand this novella, but I think having read the novels, and already being emotionally involved in the characters helped me enjoy it more. Attack the Geek provides the geeky, action packed fun you'd expect from a Ree Reyes story, and it also does a good job at touching on existing character relations and hinting about future developments for the series. It's one weakness is that it can feels too focused on action. Don't get me wrong, most of it is enjoyable, but it eventually gets to the point where it feel like just more of the same. Once again, I chose to listen to the audiobook and Mary Robinette Kowal does a very good job with the reading.

If you've enjoyed Celebromancy and Geekomancy, I would recommend picking up Attack the Geek as well.
