Another exciting, action-packed book in the Cleopatra in Space series. The journey continues as, piece by piece, Cleo learns more and more about the mysterious prophecy and how she fits into it. I feel like there was less dialogue in this book and more fight scenes, but the story still progressed well and I enjoyed it. It wasn’t all fighting, there is plenty of interpersonal relationship stuff and suspense to keep the reader entertained. Cleo’s character develops even more as we see her become more serious, but no less entertaining. The book takes on a slightly more serious tone, especially after the shocking death and major injury of some of the cadets in the third book, but it still has its humorous moments. Great adventure with very memorable characters. I’ll admit, I was a bit thrown at the end. But it was definitely a good cliff-hanger to set up the fifth book. I CAN’T WAIT TO READ IT! |
