Zoe's Tale - John Scalzi

Tor, 2008, 400 pages
ISBN: 978-0-7653-5619-2
Read: July 2021, age 43

Old Man's War, book 4

So this book was a lot of fun, well-written, insightful, and all that, but it was also completely unnecessary.  There were a couple of chapters that would have been really good interwoven into The Last Colony, which already had two POV characters - a third wouldn't have been a problem.  Otherwise, this was the longest book of the series, and had by far the least meat.  It might have been better to have read it five-or-so years after the previous book, so that it didn't feel so repetitive, but as it was, I'd as soon not have bothered with this one. 

Rating: 3
