Starter Villain got a coveted starred review from Booklist, a publishing trade magazine - starred reviews mean the book is being singled out for attention, and are useful in helping libraries and booksellers pick the books they want to stock. Here's a quote:

“Scalzi again examines tropes in a tale of an ordinary individual being cast into an extraordinary situation with his trademark quick pacing, clever banter, and ability to find humor in desperate situations.”

Good trademarks to have!
