Edward Willett and 2 other people liked Julie Czerneda's review of The Tangled Stars: "Oh my, this was fun in all the right ways--and yet there's rich characters (who grow/grow up/reveal stuff) and highly cool ideas. Take the cramped clunky ships of the EXPANSE, add a conman/thief with a heart of gold (who doesn't remember to exercise)" Read more of this review »

Edward Willett liked Sam - Read & Buried's review of The Tangled Stars: "The Tangled Stars is a space opera following Coop, a thief; his cop-slash-revolutionary ex, Laysa; and Thibauld, an AI-uplifted cat, trying to make the journey from one solar system to another.
