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.
I may have been a bit hasty in my concerns on the page count. I counted the pages for this and the next couple of chapters and roughly nine pages isn’t too bad for a chapter. I was pushing for eleven due to the Op Center experience but we may be able to actually follow the one chapter at a time formula after all. So sorry about that. With that, on to today’s chapter.
Last time we were introduced to our important trio, all lacking last names so I’m going to assume that’s what a “bloodname” is unless someone more familiar with the franchise tells me otherwise. (It didn’t come up in the show I saw or the comics I read, some of whom predated the Clans in the game.) Star Captain Joanna (the back of the book says “Commander” so I’m guessing either they goofed or she’s in for a rank demotion), her second and friend Star Commander Horse, and Mechwarrior Diana. While I felt not enough was explained for new people coming in, I didn’t think they’d be so lost as to not move on. So let’s move on and see how long I get to be right.
