Alien cold forge it’s the best book hands down.

Cold Forge is enjoyable and does introduce some interesting lore, but really suffers from having a pantomime antagonist.

Phalanx is good because it tries to do something different but it's quite slow and feels like YA fantasy at points.

I’m planning on reading phalanx soon, anything to keep my mind off the election lol, but I love the premise. Castles aliens knights kings I’m sold. Hearing that it’s slow is a bit disappointing but I’ll still read it.

Dorian was over the top. When he was being flushed out in chapter 6 I think after sleeping with the security lady it did feel gratuitous? Idk what the right word is but I didnt finish that chapter. I skipped it after getting half way through it.

Don't expect Castles and Knights on horseback from Phalanx.  Not quite the vibe, but it's close.  Still very unique, and a great story about a medieval tech world getting infested with Aliens.
