The weblog of Steve Ivy, going since 1999 in one form or another. Still something of a CMS junkie.
XVI Edition.
Yeah, I powered through this series due to #stayhomestaysafe, and happy I did. A really fun story, and enjoyed seeing many characters in theIo books introduced here in some more depth.
Between the two Io books and the three Tao books, I really want to read Io 3 (write faster, Wesley).
Book 2 of the Tao books by Wesley Chu. This series has gotten some guff due to The Lives of Tao being written as a National Novel Writing Month project, and perhaps I was more invested having read the Io books first, but dammit I really like these books.
Also, knowing that there was a third book in the queue, the ending of this one was a big WHAAaaa? (but it was worth it in book 3)
Having first read the Io books, I finally realized that the Tao books (which I had been skipping in the library list of scifi books for a couple of years, why I do not know) were set 20 years earlier in the same universe and introduced about half the characters.
The Quasing Wars world is really fun to read, and the relationships that Tao and Io have with their hosts are both similar and entirely different.
