Great sci fi adventure

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 3, 2023

The worldbuilding is intricate, the characters are fascinating, and the story is thrilling. But the body count is high, and several character deaths made me sad. 6T9 and Carl are often hilarious, but I feel bad for Sixty who is often ridiculed, has no one to talk to, and is left out of the telepathy group. Darkness Rising is more grim than Starship Waking, and the coming battles promise more grimness in the next books.

Good, but holes in logic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2021

Why can Sundancer be infected by the darkness, but an android can't? That makes no sense to me. Otherwise I like the characters. I just wish there was a little more logic. Why haven't 6t9 and Villa hired some crew? Or at least some bodyguards?

Wow! Another great story from C Gockel! Volka, 6T9, Carl, and Sundancer are trying to assist the Republic in preventing the spread of the Darkness... and it frightens Sundancer terribly!

Our team is enlisted to help fight the Darkness while the One tries to assist in the effort. However, things do not go as according to plan... Once again, we have a fast paced story where our friends Volka, 6T9, Carl, and Sundancer try to do what is right - despite the cost. The story is indeed complex, but all the elements come together as we reach the climax. This is where the author excels - bringing diverse elements together.

We have great characters in Volka, 6T9, Carl, and Sundancer - we are seeing them grow as a team though they are quite a diverse mix! There are other characters to flesh out the story... some are likable... some... well, not so much. We see Volka and Sixty grow in character and in their trust in each other... and perhaps a growing affection as well!

While there is fast paced action, we also have some humor (sometimes Sixty just can't help himself!), tension, fear, suspense, horror, dread, heartache, and perhaps a little romance... One of the characters is very uncertain that it can be love - she didn't program that into herself... The story falls together effortlessly as they fight to succeed in their mission. It's not your usual sci fi story - and that's what makes this special.

I love this story! I love the series thus far! I love the author's work as a whole! I can't wait to see what happens to our friends in the next story! (I have bought the next book in the series and preordered the one after it as well!) If you like a story that isn't the usual stuff - read this book!

Fear the Dark

It has the smell of death and the growing need to take over everything and bring life into the dark. And evidently it did it millions in years ago. This book is currently the darkest (pardon the pun) scariest, most deadly enemy anyone or any thing dreads. And it'sb8n their galaxy, heading their way. And I grew depressed reading this book. Not my thing but others may like the dark. I just wanted this story to end, but it hasn't , so I'm going to take a break from the series for a while.

An original story with characters I’ve never even heard of. I love it! Carl, Volka and 6T9 are an awesome team. I love the different personalities and physical attributes. They have the most interesting adventures.
It was great to see some characters from the previous books too.
Sundancer is a spaceship but not in the way you think of spaceships. She is a living being. Communication with her is a challenge but seems to work out.
So many planets with so many different cultures. I don’t know how C. Gockel comes up with the ideas. I would like to meet these characters and go on an adventure with them.
I can’t wait for the next book!
I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The story just keeps getting better

This story moved along at a fast pace. There were places that really made me very sad while others were humorous. I love how Volka, Sixty and Carl have developed into such full characters. Until now, I always thought I knew which characters were to be liked and which ones you should not like. But with this book of the series, I am truly beginning to dislike James and Alaric. What really surprised me was the role that Kenji Sato plays in this story (no spoilers, sorry).

The story made me sad at times when some characters left us but I was very happy to see some get what they deserved. The next story should be very interesting.

I read book 1 then got distracted. The story was really Good, so I promised myself I'd be back. I hate that I took so long. The series is great. The stories have good characters, good adventures and continuity. I may be here a while.

Every book in this series was impossible to put down. I had to tear myself away to make them last more than a day each! I love C. Gockel's writing style as well as her content and the well developed, wonderful characters she creates for her books. I highly recommend the entire Archangel series!

Sneaky author is sneaky, delivering a rousing adventure with enough subtext to drown the darkness in it.

It will keep yoy guessing, it will keep you entertained and it will make you question the nature of personhood, good, and duty.
