Verdict: Caliban's war is an exciting sequel which really improves on the first volume of the trilogy.

Reasons for reading it: I enjoyed the first in this series, Leviathan Wakes a great deal. And [livejournal.com profile] rysmiel assured me that the sequel benefits from more female characters, fewer vomit zombies which made me all the more inclined to read it.

How it came into my hands: I attempted to buy it from Barnes and Noble for my new shiny Nook. But something went wrong with the DRM somehow and I couldn't read the file. Which did not exactly give me great faith in using my Nook as intended, a terminal for B&N's online shop. So I kept meaning to break the DRM or download a pirate version or even argue with B&N about taking my money and selling me a file I couldn't use, but in the end I happened on a copy in the library sooner than I got round to doing any of those things.

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
