Second Planet

by Shelby Merry

The Earth is dying. The world runs under one central government known as The Union, a ruthless and desperate organization on a search to find another planet for colonization. When Earth receives a mysterious signal from a neighboring solar system, Harper along with five other prisoners are given the option for early release if they take on the dangerous mission to investigate. But things drastically become more complicated when the crew discovers people on this new planet, and these people know who they are. Harper left Earth to run away from her past, but the world she found has a darker history than her own. In this forgotten wasteland, everyone is desperate to protect something, and Harper must decide what is worth fighting for. But in a game of survival, only one question who is telling the truth?

Enjoyable. The story is good, the characters are likable and although the pacing might not be perfect it still moves at an understandable pace. For Shelby's first novel, it's a good turnout. The accompanying OST is fanciful and beautiful, adding a memorable experience to book reading.

There's a very obvious problem though, there are way too many grammar mistakes and typos.

I first came across this book when I found the accompanying soundtrack.

The story is good, the concept is really intriguing but my word there are so many typos. Throughout the book Shelby uses ‘site’ instead of sight and that’s just one. There’s a mistake on almost every other page.

I just wish someone had proof read it before it reached bookshops.

Great story and concept. Loved the soundtrack for the book, very unique. Moderately paced but I found it to be good.
