Sigma Force series by James Rollins

I have become totally obsessed with the Sigma Force series by @authorjamesrollins.

It crosses a few genres so it's hard to describe it without turning people off. For instance, it's kind of like the Da Vinci Code (which I HATED!!) crossed with Indiana Jones, crossed with the good elements of Mission Impossible ... it's got adventure, science, history ..

Sigma Force are an elite covert arm of the US Defense Department made up of former Special Forces officers trained as experts in various scientific fields. Think scientists with guns .. but there's so much more. On the one hand it's a real ride - action packed, fun, popcorny .. but the series gets better and better as you go and they become more and more thought-provoking.

I have come across two ships that I am shipping soooooo hard ... Gray x Seichan and from book 10 "The Sixth Extinction", I am totally shipping Jenna x Drake.

Despite being action .. Rollins writes characters and to my surprise, writes women really, really well. Totally passes the Bechdel Test for what it's worth and I really care about the characters... he also makes me invested in minor characters and I get upset when they die.

I can't do fan art, so did my own AI representations of the characters. I know people hate AI, but I can't draw! I'll do some fan fic for the above ships shortly if I can but here are some visualisations of the characters.

Grayson Pierce

Seichan

Jenna Beck

Gunnery Sergeant Drake

"The Cradle of Ice," by James Rollins

[fredhandbag]

The Cradle of Ice is the 2nd book in the Moon Fall Series from James Rollins. This book picks up where the previous book stopped. A group goes one way to do some stuff. Another group stays behind to do some different stuff. Other groups in other places do some stuff that may or may not overlap another group’s stuff. So many characters and so many things going on. I love Rollins's writing. The first book in this series was full of great stories and fantasy and an enjoyable read. I'm not sure what happened to this book. There are too many storylines and too many characters. It's almost 700 pages and it drags. It drags because the world is so unfamiliar that a reader has to think about what they're reading - constantly. It does not make for fast-paced fiction. It would've worked much better as two or even three books. And you cannot read this without reading the first one. Not sure what happened but I had high expectations for this book. This jumble of fantasy was not an enjoyable read for me. If you read mainly fantasy, this is probably the book for you. Thanks to @torbooks for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

As I’ve mentioned before, due to the tour cancellation, I signed and doodled as many copies of The Last Odyssey at the Poisoned Pen as I could manage last week. If you order from them, you’ll also get the promotional insert unique to this book—and the store will offer FREE shipping (excluding international orders). .

It's time for my favorite readathon, #TomeTopple! It's where I have no excuse but to pick a 500plus-page book and read it. No complaints here! While these two books do satisfy some of the prompts, I elected to pick one audiobook and a physical/digital book. I'm loving the slowest burn that is "The Wall of Winnipeg and Me" by @marianazapata so far! And of course, I'm always in the mood for @authorjamesrollins books; I'm finally picking up "The Demon Crown" (the paperback is 600some pages). I'll try to read as much as I can in between anime episodes and trip-planning. And naps. Because I'm weak. . . . . . #readathon #books #bookstagram #bibliophile #tometopplechallenge #jamesrollins #marianazapata #sigmaforce https://www.instagram.com/tonicate10/p/BwNssOjB1VK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ni63nurry1ts

BookOutlet had a great sale a few weeks ago. I found some titles I’ve been looking for and was able to get copies of some books I’d reviewed. I did get Acts of Violet from Pango. How do you like a book sale? 🤣 #bookoutlet #booksales #orphanx #minotaurbooks #actsofviolet #reacher #loveandolives #thenemesis #jamesrollins #shadowsofpecanhollow #karenmcmanus #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNu7mqr7jM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
