Chapter By Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

Usually by the eleventh chapter the goal is in site but this book has chapter lengths that just barely make my requirement for a full chapter and there’s still 31 chapters. So thus far all we’ve had is a lot of introductions and build up. Luckily the story doesn’t feel like its dragging but I do want to get to the meat of the story soon. Last time we even learned more about Diana’s history and I’m okay with that. Diana’s the best character.
We’ve met our characters, set up a rivalry but then followed it up with a more interesting plot in my opinion that I really want to see Joanna (and hopefully Diana because I want more Diana and less Ravill but I’m betting tying her and Horse to the Prydefull jerk (pun obviously intended) is the story’s way of taking away Joanna’s backup during the spy hunt) get on with the spy hunting. I wonder if she’ll get a cool car with machine guns and an oil…wait, wrong Spy Hunter. Besides…giant robot suits are cooler.
At any rate this week is a bit different chapter 11 is only three pages long while chapter 12 comes in at six chapters. That’s nine pages so in this installment I’ll be looking at two pages, something I expected would happen eventually. I dealt with similar multi-chapter reviews back with The Black Stallion’s Ghost but it still isn’t as bad as Op Center thus far. So let’s see what the two chapters have to offer.
