Book Review: Cassandra Files: Genesis by Rod Pennington

This was a wild, weird, entertaining, fabulous tale that I read in a day. Pennington has a knack for storytelling. Even though there are issues with the book – like so many characters thrown at you that it’s almost impossible to keep the straight and numerous plot conveniences and holes that don’t really make sense – I couldn’t put it down.

The characters (the main ones, that were fully fleshed out and readily identifiable) were relatable, hilarious, and quirky enough to keep me smiling. There were multiple female protagonists who were brilliant – both literally and figuratively. The premise was original and engaging and, again, hilarious. The dialogue was snarky and snappy. The action was (mostly) evenly paced and non-stop. And the whole thing felt like a glorious send-up of government and bureaucracy and corporations.

It was a delightful romp of a tale, told in a style that pulled me in from the opening lines and never let go. I cannot wait to see where this series goes next!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my obligation-free review copy.
