Lonelectorem Review of Book 3
Thank you, IG's @lonelectorem for yet another epic review. This time for WINE DARK DEEP: The Odyssey
"When I started reading this series with its first book ‘Wine Dark Deep’ I found its descriptions very complex and overly technical. Now, after reading the third book of this series I finally find myself getting comfortable with the author's writing style and his techniques. What I learned about @rpeterkeith from these books is that he's a very practical and intelligent author, even if he writes space science fiction, he keeps its events grounded to the possibilities of reality.
Why am I saying this? If you read any of these books, as a reader, you will realize that he doesn't exaggerate any scenes that he portrays in the story; let's say, either it's the crew's first-ever encounter with the aliens, possible language and communication struggles that humans may face with such encounter, their conscience to trust those beings or forms, or that accidental inter-galactic space travel, the way the author describes them and links to the story it all will make very practical sense to you.
The overall reading experience of this book was both exciting and terrifying. The author keeps this constant rush and eagerness in the story where I felt myself being absorbed in the premise. The deliberate description of intense action scenes made it more cinematic than the last two books. It gave more 'mind-fuck' moments combined with its first two books.
I have never read a sci-fi series so it's my first and I am moved by the author's excellent knowledge and research skills. All his contents, story and premise building, and the uncertainty that he brings in his books and makes them unpredictable is something worth to read and that's why this series is MUST read for every sci-fi freak out there. As I already mentioned in my earlier reviews, this may not be a compatible read for every reader but if you are willing to invest your time in the space saga that the author has created, then I promise, you will not regret your decision! After reading this book I have very high hopes for the fourth book and I am counting on the author's potential even more."
