Our view
“Livesuit” is a short, unsettling soldier’s tale that works by itself while widening the world of “The Captive’s War”. In 65 pages it turns out more eerie than action-driven; some readers single out the creepy ending, and some find the whole story bleak. It needs no knowledge of “The Mercy of Gods”, though it leaves readers curious about where the trilogy goes next.
