"Book #4 in the Looking Glass series. I really love all of Ringo's books, but there's something about a story where they name the ship Alliance Space Ship (A.S.S.) Vorpal Blade and where an alien artifact can change everyone around it into anime characters. A little short, but a fun read. " — Myles (5 out of 5 stars)

" Another episode in a series that I really enjoy. Science Fiction is one of my guilty pleasures and this book was worth the indulgence. "
" Still good, but my least favorite of the series so far. I did like the ending. Write some more soon, please. "
" Takes a long time to get to the interesting parts. "
" I don't understand even the teeniest bit of the science, but, these books are fun, and I like the people, so I persevere. "
" The humor that was notable in the previous books of the series overflows here. It was over the line for me, becoming both unbearably silly and distracting from the story. Read it if you're a completionist, I'd say. "
" More Ringo/Taylor silliness and man, does this one get silly at times. I'm sort of hoping for more books in this series, but I'm not sure I could actually take a higher level of crazy and still enjoy it. "
" Fun space opera! Interesting music references. "
" This was a fun book, and had even more tongue-in-cheek humor than the previous three. Having the humor made the sciencey bits even more fun and memorable, too. I really hope this series continues as it's been great fun. "
