Testo aggiuntivo
“You need not be a fan of the games to appreciate the skill Jemisin brings to this fun, fast-moving sci-fi tale. (Though she’s a big fan of the games, and you can totally tell)”
“I can tell how much fun the writers were having with this thing: ranging across the galaxy, upending dastardly plots, engaging in shoot outs, snapping on the gear and letting ‘er rip. Mass Effect: Andromeda—Initiation is a blast, for more than one meaning of the word.”
