Valor series by Tanya Huff

Valor's Choice (Confederation, #1)Valor's Choice by Tanya Huff

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


One of these years, I'm going to get my regularly scheduled respiratory infection (how else would I know it's October?) and I'm going to be out of Tanya Huff books. And that's going to be really freaking sad.

Yeah, my enjoyment of this was in inverse correlation with my health. They're fluffy multi-planetary marine adventures with maybe two or three emotional notes to play -- hoo-rah marines are cool! But sometimes they die and that's sad! But they're also multi-species marines so there's wacky alien sex hijinx! And there's basically only one story here that gets recycled every time.

That was all great when I had a fever, and progressively less great as I got better and started wanting more than the book equivalent of white noise. Cute and fluffy space marines, sustained and unvarying emotional note until my ears rang, nice enough but now I feel better so yeah, kind of done.
