Good but not the best one in the series. I enjoyed the new perspective to many of the stories and events and adding a young person’s perspective and struggles did make it feel different. However, it felt more forced at times and many of the events were not as enjoyable because they were about events that you already were aware of. Only a few unique ideas. Still was good.

Last colony redux. I loved the first three books. So when I finished the third, I simply bought the fourth without bothering with a preview or reading the reviews. I should have bothered. This is just the third book rewritten. I kept reading, hoping for a new storyline to branch off. But it didn’t. Just the same story slightly rewritten from the point of view of a child. I’m not planning to read the next book in the series.

Excellent Read. When you tell your friends of this novel have them read the others for context of course. But I believe they will thank you,especially if they are young.

Another Great Installment. I love the spin on telling a different part of a larger story. Great read. Can’t wait to start the next one in the story. Well done.

Zoe's Tail Another Perspective. I real enjoyed this book. A few years ago I read the Old Man's War series and couldn't put them down. As I read Zoe's Tale I kept thinking that I've read this story before but not quite the same way. I really enjoyed the characters quirky banter and the development of the relationships with family and friends. If you didn't read the other books of the Old Man's War series before reading this book you will enjoy recognizing key ideas from the different stories as you explore the period and universe, from another perspective.

Scalzi becomes a teenage girl. Loved this story. I was a huge fan of Scalzi until I read Redshirts. I took a break after that until Zoe caught my interest again. Only after reading the notes at the end did I learn there were other parallel books to the story, so you don't need to read them to appreciate this tale. The best thing about it is the voice: its written in the first person of a teenage girl. It wasn't easy to capture the intelligence, courage and humor of the character, and still explore the implications of her connection to an alien race. As someone who works extensively with teenagers in my real life world, I found her voice to be incredibly authentic. Kudos to Scalzi!!

Good in its own right. I admit to not caring enough about Zoe to understand why she needed a book. By the last chapter I did and it is one of the better books I've read in quite some time. I ended up caring about the characters more, becoming more emotionally invested in the story than expected (especially because it reflects the previous book). It is very well written and very few authors can do what John Scalzi has done with the story. I recommend it.

Another amazing book. I loved this book. It seems to that each of the books in this series have just been better than the one before. Which is really hard to do, since each of the books is truly great in its own right. I loved reliving the events of The Last Colony from Zoe's perspective and learning more about such a critical character. I loved this book and the whole series and I hope John Scalzi will takes us there many more times in the years to come.

Are you kidding me?!?!?!. This isn’t Book 4 it’s Book 3.5. The author is basically forcing you to reread Book 3 but from Zoe’s perspective. My assumption is that his publisher was pressuring him to put something out and he was suffering from writers block and as a result we were left with this garbage. It’s going to be awhile before I read anything by Scalzi again. What a waste of money!!!!

An excellent follow up to the last colony. So many questions after the last colony and this book answered them all. An outstanding read with emotionally engaging characters.

Zoe's tale..... The book was a decent read unless you've read the previous book. I mean it's really the same story but told by the daughters POV. If it was half the price it'd be better. But full price for a retelling is a little steep....

A wonderful story & series. Zoe’s Tale is a wonderful alternative viewpoint of the previous book, through the eyes of John’s and Jane’s adopted daughter Zoe. It has also thoughtfully, filled in a number of blanks left open previously; in a very imaginative and entertaining manner. If you enjoy or just mildly love science fiction, then this book and series is a definite must read. Enjoy! JAO
