#397 ~ Ronos

Beacon by Tyler Rudd Hall

My rating: 4 of 5 stars





Book #2 - Ronos Trilogy



I was very kindly provided with an Kindle copy by the Author, Tyler Rudd Hall following my First Reads Review of the first book in his series (Catalyst).

There was no awkward gapping, and this book started right after the end of the first book. Therefore, there was no change in the main protagonists, but there were some nice additional characters.

It was very nice to see that the same standard of writing was continued, and Tyler should be congratulated. The plot was moved on nicely, and I'm crossing my fingers that Tyler will be kind enough to let me have the final instalment in the Trilogy, as I need to know how the whole thing goes down!

I don't want to add any spoilers, as I'm keen for you to read with no pre-conceived notions, so give a try.

Most ebooks seem to have the odd error, and I'll be honest with you here, there were a few (not masses - as some were bug bears) - don't despair it didn't spoil the overall reading experience. I am very confident Tyler will put them right as a matter of priority.

Taking into consideration the way the plot linked in with the previous novel, the pace, characterisation and overall reading experience it's 4 Stars from me.

Errors/Bug Bears:

Loc 349:  More of a Bug Bear, I hate the use of "go" as in go rescue. Conjunctions are always preferred.

Correct to:  ....Mac desperately need to find someone named Janelle Stewart.

Loc 1223:  The space port was no doubt already at capacity and the wait time to dock would be longer than what Mac had time for.

In my opinion "what" is superfluous.  Correct to:  The space port was no doubt already at capacity and the wait time to dock would be longer than what Mac had time for.

Loc 2491:  Who's all there with you?

In my opinion "all" is superfluous.  Correct to:  Who's all there with you?

Loc 2907:  I got everyone into the container section and sealed them in the in the middle of the ship.

Correct to:  I got everyone into the container section and sealed them in the in the middle of the ship.

Loc 4359:  He grabbed Lynn's arm and started running towards the pull machine which.

The above sentence doesn't make sense, needs to be reviewed by Author!

Loc 4372:  Spread out like they were there was no way Mac and the others could stop all of them from coming up.

Correct to:  Spread out like they were, there was no way Mac and the others could stop all of them from coming up.

Happy Reading.
