Qt3 2019 Reading Challenge

Progress: 7/52

For these two, I read 21 books.

OK, that’s overstating things a bit, but it sounds impressive! The 21 books in question are the Robotech novelization series, and many of them are fairly short. Enough that many were combined into 3-in-1 versions that look more like a normal book. Plus I’d read 18 of the 21 before as a teenager, though I remembered almost none of the details, just the wide story arcs. As I said above, they fit the prompt since two authors combined to write the series under a pseudonym.

TL;DR - Even with short books, it’s a lot of reading. Worth it if you’re into epic fantastic adventure, futuristic mecha battles, and romantic underdog victories. Not so much if you want hard sci-fi or have trouble suspending disbelief when logic seems to go out the window. And of course if you were into Robotech at all back in the 80s, the nostalgia factor is a strong bonus.

My rating: 4/5, but keep in mind that nostalgia factor is at play so that may be overrating it a bit
