Hundert Jahre nachdem Bob Johansson ausgezogen ist, um auf fremden Planeten eine neue Heimat für die Menschheit zu finden, kann man sagen, dass er seine Mission erfüllt hat: Unzählige Kolonien haben er und seine Kopien in der Galaxis gegründet und die Menschen vor dem Aussterben bewahrt.

The Bobiverse

4 stars

In one sense, All These Words feels like a pretty standard expansion of the series. We get more bobs, the alien races get a bit more depth, and humanity starts to find its footing in a wider galaxy. All delivered with the same entertaining storytelling that made the first two so charming.

But where All These Worlds really excels is its growing heart.

Review of 'All These Worlds' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A solid wrap-up to the first arc of this series. It is likely it was only ever intended to be three books so this one ties a bow on the big antagonist introduced in the previous book.
The groove of these books has been well established by now. Multi-threaded stories of space exploration told in first person by various slightly different copies of the same person. Told, I should say with heart and not a little wit. As I have previously noted (and as with any first person telling) you will either enjoy the perspective of the narrator or not, and this will affect your enjoyment of the book.
High quality entertainment has been delivered by this series so it is a recommend from me.
