And the Mighty Will Fall by K.B. Wagers
4.0
*I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
I was fully not prepared for an addition to the NeoG series, but I saw this compared to Die Hard and knew I loved the characters so I knew I had to read it. While this is marketed as a series of standalones and there are callbacks throughout that explain the events of the first three books, I think the books should be read in order for maximum impact. Personally, I don't know if the reader would feel the same emotions toward the crew if they hadn't seen them through the events that bonded them together.
That being said, I think Die Hard is the perfect comp for this story and I loved every minute of it. This is probably my favorite book in the series so far, followed closely by Hold Fast Through the Fire. The plot here starts on page one and it is tense and fast-paced through to the end. I also love how diverse Wagers makes this series. Yes, the phrasing of "the trans woman" or "the cis woman" can read a little awkward; however, I appreciate that they use the same phrasing regardless of if the character being referenced is cis or trans. All in all, I really enjoyed this surprise addition to the NeoG series and look forward to reading more from K.B. Wagers.
