    I recommend it.

    The first book kinda leaves you blue-balled because it ends just as you start getting some answers. It does have encounters with several kinds of aliens, tho.

    And the problem is kind of inevitable if you’re creating a series and want to have narratives that span from one book to the next, and across the series.

    That said, while the first book certainly has a couple self-contained arcs, it did end up feeling like setup the whole way through.

    That’s literally my only complaint though, and it amounts to “I can’t wait for more”.

      Definitely blue balls you haha. The 1st novella is really interesting too in a whole different way. I love that they kept up that tradition of a expanded universe between books haha.
