Didn't finished it

I didn't finished the book. I stopped reading about 1/3 in. Not because it is bad but because its more of a handbook and I just don't feel "entertained". Besides of that I am a GM since over 35 years now and I don't think I will learn many new things at this point. I definitely will come back to it but chapterwise.

As good as its predecessor

What to say other than: As good as its predecessor.

I really enjoyed reading Caliban's War. It expands the cast, continues the very good storyline consistantly and is exciting and diverting as hell. I can't believe I missed out on these books for so long. I think I will watch the TV show Season 2 now and see how good it is compared to the book.

I definitely will continue the series after having a short break from the crew of the Rocinante.

A wonderful start with meaningful main characters nicely told. Personally I don't like "school stories" because they are everywhere nowadays but its different here so that I liked it nevertheless. Unfortunately the King Killer Chronicles are not yet fully releases so that I will stop reading them until they are.

Started reading the book from the first page again. The beginning of the book is awesome but now there is a section about the troupe that I don't like really much an where I stopped reading the last time I tried. We'll see if I can get through now.
