What an adventure it was traveling through space with The Silver Dragon crew. They had some adventures and there is definitely more going on than you think.

I thought this was a good book. It was well written and kept me engrossed throughout the story. I liked how it is almost like a alternate reality due to the fact that it involves aspects from everyday life, although it is set in a futuristic setting. It is a good book for high school or college students, and is one that I would read again.

Unique style of writing. I enjoyed it at times and other times struggled to follow along.

Traveling through the universe with the Silver Dragon crew was an amazing and intense adventure. At the brink of another war the galaxy is in turmoil, trying to build from the ruins or escape being enslaved. The fate of the war and universe is being guided by a jumble of a crew embedded with secrets and lies, and as they unravel so does the chains on the Sandman's prison.

Well...
That was interesting. So I absolutely hated her sister, but then somewhere around 34% into the book I realized she was dead! That’s an interesting turn of events. The book itself was full of action and a few humorous parts. All in all a pretty good book.

November 26, 2019I HAVE NOT FINISHED THE BOOK. But my initial thoughts on it are really good i have been reading it for a few days and i am still getting into it so i can not give a full judgement on the book but the i am just starting the first chapter labeled Admiral Maxtin. The shot that Amye took was very well told with lots of detail. I the banter that her sister added was a great touch to the scene. I wish i could talk more about it because the book is really a nice read but i´m just not far enough in to it but i might come back and finish my review once i have finished with the book.
