Another 3 1/2 star for me. That isn't to say I didn't enjoy it, or wasn't entertained. I rate solely based on comparisons to others in their genre.(Which is why it was clicked to 4 stars since there is not half system on GR) 
 This series is fast-paced, fun & lighthearted, often cheesy,and entertaining as hell. It reminds of of comparing a harlequin to a solid romance novel. There is an addictive quality that makes you not put it down, but you can't read it as a staple. 
 Will I read the next in the series? Oh hell yeah! It is escapism at its best! v--v
