BOOK REVIEW- SAABRINA: TANGLEWOOD by Seth Cohen

Bob sees a white flash fill Saabrina's rear view mirror. “Oh crap.”

“Bob, we may be about to have a problem with reality.”

Protecting the worlds of the United Star Systems is all in a day’s work for a Saab and her Sentinel, until Saabrina and Bob inadvertently cause a break in spacetime with potentially universe ending consequences. A congresswoman on the warpath, failing science experiments, bad concerts, and Saabrina's misadventures may be the least of their problems.

Saabrina: Tanglewood, book 2 in the Saabrina series, takes you on a galactic odyssey with Bob and Saabrina, where partnering with an amazing AI equipped spaceship gets a Sentinel’s job done in style, but memory, love, and loss may be the keys to the survival of our universe.  AMAZON 4 STARS

This book was a mixed bag for me and I found it hard to rate. I'd have to say I liked it with some reservations.  Some parts I liked better than others.   It took me awhile to get into the story, to find my balance in it because it was so out of the box.  Plus I also thought it might be more helpful if I had read the first book.  I didn't realize that there was one before I started this one.  I said I found my balance in the story but I'm not exactly sure that is totally truthful.  About the time I thought I did, I was caught off balance again and had to try to figure out what was going on in the story.

I will say that there was more than one time that I laughed out loud because of some funny shenanigans.   And most of the time the culprit was Saabrina.  No one takes advantage of someone she cares about on her watch.

Sentinel Bob and Saabrina work together so well and have such a tight bond that it was fun to read that part.  In fact it did have a family, got your back feel to it that I liked. 
Even Rebecca, Bob's daughter was a part of that bond at times.  It's like Bob and his family are "adopted" by Saabrina.  Rebecca has good feelings about Saabrina as well.  They even have some girls night out.  Which of course causes them to run into trouble and it's a good thing that Saabrina was there.  That "incident" was an interesting twist.

The "world" building in this book was pretty good and kept me on my toes.  The parts that dealt with the trips to Mexico were like flash backs and those I had a bit of trouble with but they weren't the whole book.

The story does have some surprising twists, surprises and some form of "revenge".  Maybe the word revenge is too hard because it's more like shutting the mouth of a nasty power hungry Congresswoman.  That was  really well done and made me smile. 


I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion of it.
