Reviews

You need not be a fan of the games to appreciate the skill Jemisin brings to this fun, fast-moving sci-fi tale. (Though shes a big fan of the games, and you can totally tell)

I can tell how much fun the writers were having with this thing: ranging across the galaxy, upending dastardly plots, engaging in shoot outs, snapping on the gear and letting er rip.MassEffect:AndromedaInitiationis a blast, for more than one meaning of theword.

a brisk, bracing romp involving artificial intelligence, unethical scientific research, espionage, and violent shenanigans...an absolute blast- Tor.com

I loved the exciting and intense action, which kept the books pacing rapid and engaging. At the same time, we got a level of character exploration not typically seen in a lot of media tie-in novels -Biblio Sanctum
