Odysseus Awakening by Evan Currie
4.0
Evan Currie was the second author that I read when I joined Kindle Unlimited, and his series Odyssey One has pulled me into a genre I did not know even existed.
Odysseus Awakening was a little different than previous books in that the majority of the book was one long, continuous battle with waves of allies arriving to face the Empire. Balancing four or five different perspectives throughout, Currie helps us gain depth and understanding of both sides waging war against each other. Our fearless captain struggles to handle his own ships new issues, while continuing to acclimate to his new role as Commodore Weston. We briefly connect with the Priminae capital, only to be rushed away to war.
Overall, I'd like to say that each book in this series has been great, but I was underwhelmed by this particular book. I was left wanting more, even a few pages of interactions outside the battle for Weston or the damage control crews running around during the battle. The reveal at the end shows that Currie has a plan for the next book or two, and I can not wait to continue the series.
I was given this book to review for free through NetGalley.
