Historia
With feudal wars raging through the Japanese countryside, it is no place for children, particularly homeless orphans like six-year-old Saru, who grow up fast and hard in the cold city. When begging does not fill his stomach, stealing and cunning do the trick. The only warmth Saru knows is from a kindly priest who allows him to sleep under his little Shinto shrine in the winter, and Neko, his adopted kitten. Living day-by-day, Saru gives little thought to the future or the course his life might take.

Historia
Juliet Bianchi has evolved from a lowly scrap cutter to a fully-loaded, combat-ready dark side operator. Known as "Lucky," she takes high-risk jobs for high-tech upgrades (you know, like weaponry, super reflexes, mind reading, etc.) that make her nearly invulnerable. Juliet is looking forward to some downtime to recover, recoup, and reunite with her mates from the space salvage trawler Kowashi. But after a while, she gets that old itch she can never quite seem to scratch: to infiltrate, and hopefully subvert, the all-powerful WBD megacorporation that created the AI that changed her life.

I love Lucky’s courage and convictions. Her honorable nature and friendships. This, like the previous in the series is fast paced action and world building with Tanaka’s character coming alive. For a man who originally tried to kill Lucky, he has me rooting for his transformation.
I am excited to get to the next book where Lucky (after extensive training) will deal with WBD (the corporation that has been hunting her).
I love that the book addresses corporate domination and that our main character takes on the corporations involved in evil deeds and sabotages and exposes them!
I look forward to the next book but desperately hope there are more after that!

Historia
At 15, Alexis Carew has to face an age old problem - she's a girl, and only a boy can inherit the family's vast holdings. Her options are few. She must marry and watch a stranger run the lands, or become a penniless tenant and see the lands she so dearly loves sold off. Yet there may be another option, one that involves becoming a midshipman on a shorthanded spaceship with no other females.

It just didn’t make sense or ring true. The author tried to blend two radically different eras with horrible results. A waste of money.

Historia
Ninety years ago, Earth was consumed—and irrevocably transformed—by a cloud of alien nanites known as the Mist, bestowing humanity with uncanny abilities and enhancing technology far beyond early twenty-first century science. But these advancements came at a high price: Billions are dead. The planet has been overrun by vicious monsters. And alien overlords await the opportunity to swoop in and exploit what remains of Earth and its people for all their worth.

Historia
Once a scrap-wrangling nobody from Phoenix, Arizona, Juliet Bianchi's life was forever changed when fate handed her a hyper-advanced AI chip that launched her into the arena of high-powered, high-stakes operators. To her surprise—and everyone else's—she had a natural talent for cybernetic-enhanced mayhem and mercenary work. Now, that work will take Juliet where she's always wanted to go: off world. Unfortunately, the reason is that her faithful friend Honey and a child prodigy she was caring for have been kidnapped.

Binged the series
Revisado: 06-15-24
One adventure after another and it kept me wanting more. I liked the main character. She acts with integrity in a world of violence and deceit. I was so let down when I found that I had reached the end until the next book comes out. Can’t wait.

Historia
Juliet Bianchi was once just another working drone, struggling to survive in a world where megacorporations reigned, information was power, and that power was worth killing for. Then she stumbled upon a kidnapping gone wrong and ended up with a stolen AI chip that took her from the bottom of the barrel to a top-tier realm of mercs, freelancers, and assorted unsavory folk.

Historia
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

A great story of the evolution of a prince
Revisado: 01-11-23
Prince Harry tells his story with unflinching honesty. The good, the lonely, the dysfunctional, the inspirational and courageous. It is not a story to badmouth his family, in fact he relates many examples of loving moments. But it is a family who sacrifices each other for positive press. The villain in this story is the British tabloid media hat hound and bait him throughout his life. That attack his reputation and destroy real people for making the mistake of caring about him. It is a fantastic read.

Historia
The Trateri are about to learn a vital lesson of the Broken Lands. Deep in the remote expanse where anything can happen, it pays to be on a pathfinder's good side. Nobody ventures beyond their village. Nobody sane, that is. Monstrous creatures and deadly mysteries wait out here. Luckily for the people she serves, Shea's not exactly sane. As a pathfinder, it's her job to face what others fear and find the safest route through the wilderness. It's not an easy job, but she's the best at what she does.

Could not finish, didn't like any of characters
Revisado: 11-05-22
I really liked some of T.A. White's other books but this one had me disliking the characters more and more throughout the book. The main character justifies and assists a warlord (who not surprisingly becomes her lover) in finding and killing villages of people. Entire villages. It is justified as "they did not give enough of a tithe of grain or people for their war machine (which the book admits is so much of their limited food that it will leave the villagers starving or removes family members, etc). They also killed a village because the adults in the village engaged in horrible human sacrifice. But what about the victims in this village. They were apparently killed as well. Each burned village is also salted so nothing will grow there again for generations. Stupid. She justifies leading this warlord and his troops to her highland village and her real people's hidden capital. For what? She is OK with the murders if she gets to sleep in the leader's bed? She is protected so it is OK? I just could not continue. Wanted to sponge this from my brain,
