Errant Dreams reviews Sly Mongoose

Blogger Errant Dreams reviews Sly Mongoose:

One of the things I love about Buckell’s work is that his books in this series have enough similarity of style, exploration, themes, etc. (not to mention the fantastic character of Pepper!) to satisfy someone who’s looking for more of ‘the same’. However, each one is also quite different from the previous books, so you certainly won’t feel bored with the material! Each book takes place some time after the previous one, in this case several generations later. Each book explores a different part of the universe, although at the same time it takes on the consequences of previous plots. So there’s a ton of new material while also a few familiar threads to hold onto. This also means that the books can stand alone, although you’ll have an easier time following some things if you know what came before.

Another happy reader. Sweet.
