Village in the Sky by Jack McDevitt
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This one was... let me be frank... meh.

A little happened in many different circumstances and while some of the mild ideas were relatively warm and fundamentally interesting, the book came off (and we should all realize it was a pandemic book) as somewhat phoned in.

There were a lot of situations that recalled a lot of the same things being handled in the same ways from the other books, but none of these current archeological discoveries did much to wow me. It was competent writing, to be sure, and it stayed within the comfort-read SF lines I'm used to with this series, but alas... it was meh.

I will likely come back for more, if there are more, considering the end of this novel, but I can only hope it heats up more than this one had.



Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to DM requests. I think it's about time I get some eyes on them.
