To Catch a Falling Leaf (The Stargazer's War (A Sci-fi Cultivation Epic))

I've been checking for a sequel ever since reading the first in the series. Good fun, interesting magic system. The story is expanding in this second book, starting to earn the title 'epic'.

The first book in this series impressed me, now this second entry has done the same. I don't want to even try to describe the books. I'll just say that I like the world building and the foreshadowing is top notch. I will be waiting anxiously for Book Three.

All the staples of cultivation with a new twist. Really enjoyed both book 1 and book 2. Looking for more.

This is really well written and a great sequel to the first. Lots of interesting wee twists and I’m sure there’s more to follow in this interesting story. The author has set out a great world, or should I say universe, for our MC to be part of along with his friends. The side POVs only add to the story and I look forward to the next instalment. So I can thoroughly recommend you download and enjoy 😁

This guy never disappoints. I have enjoyed every single one of his works to date and this one is yet another I have thoroughly tarnished in. A great sci-fi cultivation series, if on the fence, just dive in - you won't regret it!

I’ve enjoyed the two books including this one the MC is nieve,snarky and on the way to being OP but not yet there, will read book 3

Second book was great eager for the next book

(spoiler below) But I was very much confused as to the geography of the whole system. I thought book 1 was on a space station of sorts ? Then they go on the surface or a planet? Then travel back elsewhere to the Right eye? That wasn't well explained again in book 2. Also Xav and Charlotte are in the hands of the big bad guy? Sure let's take 5 days of rest and flirting with the pretty girl to go back there. I didn't understand how it made sense. Also Martha and Maria are 2 different people? Much too close of a name, I'm confused.

When I read the first book I was mostly intrigued by the sci-fi - cultivation combination. Little did I know it would turn out to be a well written, captivating and surprisingly deep book. The story is thought-out and progresses at a reasonable but not too great a pace and you can simultaneously somewhat guess at the path it might take and still find unpredicted twists and turns. Read the book, it's more than worth the ridiculously cheap price. (Also the audiobook is genuinely wonderful to listen too while reading.)

This has got me stumped cause I love it, despite there being a few little sticking points. In all honesty it’s frigging awesome and you should read it and I can’t wait for the next one. Aight so besides that a quick review; Characters are good as always, good amount of humor, decent plot development and world building. It starts off a little slow and works its way up, but doesn’t take long before you get sucked in. At the rate I do wonder how long the series will span book wise as there seems to be a long way to go, but that could be easily managed with appropriate time skips. And from the looks of things it’s being applied well so far, so 10/10 for that, not enough authors use time skips where it’s sorely needed or appropriate. However, bc there’s always a caveat, there are a couple uhhh fairly decent looking plot holes to my mind unless I missed something. So spoilers ahead be aware. The whole nanotech/ nanite thing looks to be one big ass plot hole. First up is when charlotte gets pricked in the finger. For the level of intelligence/competence they’d shown so far it was kinda a surprise that that wasn’t picked up on immediately and dealt with. Cause I mean, old ass sus ruins with unknown enchantmeants, and your gonna stick your finger in it, and then when it zaps you your not gonna be sus as hell on it? Doesn’t ring true with how smart they’d been showing before hand. Second on that nano arc is: You’ve got several people who were compromised and yet despite the week plus the mc and crew spent in there plus the months long time the others spent in there they never got infected except for two people?? It seems kinda an oversight without an explanation of why bc it doesn’t make sense. Not only that but during the battles being hit with nano weapons and its getting a straight shot into the blood stream and Just does nothing? Plus all they’d need to do is literally as their namesake, grey goo swarm, literally just swarm over each person ?? And then they’d literally be inside and with how quick that moves you’d be dead in an instant? I point this out simply because there’s ways of steering a story that leaves no room for doubt as to how or why something happens. Anyway good stuff and after binge reading this in like 5-6hiurs imma sleep now.

I like cultivation and I like sci-fi so this is cool. It has a pretty good combination of both. I wonder what it's like to live around a black hole will be interesting to see.

This book is great, I love it. Thoughful writing, and a slightly new take on the genre.

Picks up right where the last book left off and continues to deliver something that feels fresh to the genre with enjoyable characters and an exciting story with just enough going on in the background to keep you guessing. The progression system is simple but satisfying to see the characters advance through levels and it has a fun sci fi yet old world feel. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys either progression or sci fi books. Well written with good depth.
