Review: Starter Villain
Between Redshirts and the Collapsing Empire trilogy I’ve quote enjoyed the Scalzi I’ve read. Starter Villain was a good read as well. I think it’s a lighter story than either of the others I mentioned, but it is great fun.
We’ve got a sympathetic character thrown into a crazy scenario that pushes a ton of pop culture buttons and we never really stop to take a breath. The dialog is snappy and we can pull for the good guys and hiss the villains with glee. (Villain being a relative term here, I did see the title.) There’s some earned warmth and a nice ending.
Recommended.
