![]() Cappa is a planet where spacefaring humans found a local intelligent population: needing to mine the planet’s resources, humans have built a sort of uneasy truce with the Cappans, but there are insurrectionary fringes that still fight the occupying forces. ![]() ![]() More than once I’ve mentioned how Military SF can be problematic for me, since the focus on battles, strategy and technology in many novels tends to go the the detriment of characterization and story: this was not the case with Planetside, although after a promising start this book turned out to be a different kind of letdown.Ĭolonel Carl Butler, once a well-known war hero, is living in semi-retirement filling a teaching position, when his old friend General Serata calls him to investigate an issue which might have huge political repercussions: the son of a High Councilor, wounded in battle on a disputed planet, has disappeared after being evacuated on the medical ship, and Butler is dispatched to learn what happened. ![]()

Everyone (including the owl-teacher) laughs at him when he describes himself as "brave" when he should be saying "fluffy or cute." Leo runs off in tears, then eventually comes back to save them all from a forest fire, because he's both (a) brave and (b) small enough to get low to the ground and see under the smoke. Leo's unhappy because he's a small, cute, fluffy bunny and he was to be big and tough like a tiger. None of the other illustrations stand out, though, and I'm not even completely sure what the moral of the story's supposed to be. ![]() There's one cute illustration, where Leo tries to look "tough" in the mirror.

Fortunately, I guess Past Me had thought ahead a little, since they were still sitting in the trunk of my car, instead of joining the library donation pile from the summer. I'd thinned out my Serendipity books already, then slightly regretted getting rid of them before I added actual reviews to remind myself why I'd chosen to let go of certain ones. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, Victoria Danann, writes a love letter to paranormal romance that begins with an elf wedding and ends with a happily ever after full of sighs. *** A broken hearted knight gets another chance at love. ![]() To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.
