What I just Read...


I finally got back to some good ole "hard" sci fi... unfiltered and not a damn vampire in sight!

I've read Kay Kenyon before, and frankly wasn't blown away. In my former sci fi book club we read one of hers and it was kinda "Days of our Lives" but on another planet.

This book kicked ass! It's build up at the end had me reading standing up, cause I was all, "Oh, no.... Oh, noooooooooo you don't, you didn't! You DID!"

It's set in the future (shocker), about scientist that stumble on an adjacent universe ruled by long lived alien and humanoid beings where the sky is a sea of light they call "the Bright" and it's their energy source and travel network... pretty impressive world building on the author's part.

The story telling was superb with snatches of memories and foreshadowing, and interesting alien beings, not all of whom are humanoid or even biped.

It's a series and I ordered the next two and a fourth book came out this year in hardback. Very eager to keep reading.
