A review by suzjustsuz
We Will Build by Stephen Russell, Michael Anderle

4.0

This one was back to its former goodness, having dialed back on the revenge-porn-political-statements, and was a lot of fun. There was large forward movement in the long arc.

It's notable that the story is requiring a lot of people as it continues down the long arc and I realized in this book that there are so many secondary and tertiary characters now that I can't keep track of them all. I haven't found it to be too critical, though, and just pay attention to what is happening in the story without worrying too much about keeping those characters straight. It works for me.

I have to mention that my eyebrows raised when
a prostitute named
J.L. Hawk cropped up in the story, and what happened to her. I kept thinking "I wonder if he realizes there is a [a:Jordan L. Hawk|6519692|Jordan L. Hawk|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1368115897p2/6519692.jpg] author?" Then in the author's end notes I discover that he met Ms. Hawk at a book/ author event, discovered that she was in some sort of back and forth with another author in which they use each other as characters and do heinous things to them as such, and that Michael Anderle told Jordan he was going to do the same to her. He did so with her permission, so I guess the answer to my question is "Yes, he knows." I like that, it adds another sort of fun to the series.
