This is gonna sound dumb, but it was too much war for me. I imagine the battle after battle after battle + blur of faceless soldiers was the point, but I needed either a more interesting plot or more character work for it to hold my attention. I haven't read any other Scalzi, but I liked the narrative voice well enough in Old Man's War to be down to try something else by him at some point.
Hmm...
I have read only his Kaiju Preservation Society and it's good. I got the first few books of Old Man's War, and plan to start it soon.
Let me know how you end up liking it!
Sure, will share it here when I read it.
