Some book series sweep you into their world so completely that putting them down feels impossible. Whether it’s rich world-building, unforgettable characters, or a plot that keeps you turning pages late into the night, the best series leave a lasting impression. In this review, I’m diving into Mickey7 by Edward Ashton - a series that explores humanity and resilience. Let’s break down what worked, what didn’t, and whether this is a series worth adding to your TBR!
Edward Ashton’s Mickey7 and Antimatter Blues deliver a clever, fast-paced sci-fi duology with plenty of humor, existential dilemmas, and thought-provoking questions about identity and sacrifice. Mickey Barnes, a “disposable” worker on an alien planet, is a protagonist who’s equal parts resourceful and unlucky, making for an engaging, sometimes darkly funny ride. The sequel expands on the world’s ethical and political stakes while maintaining the same snappy, irreverent tone. While the books don’t dive too deeply into their sci-fi concepts, their sharp writing and compelling moral quandaries make them a highly entertaining read. A solid 4-star series!
