Unfathomable Plan follows Unfathomable Chance (which I read many years ago), with Diana as the strong female character off to another adventure. Like the first book, this one is a light sci-fi read and fast-paced with a touch of romance. Diana refuses to take her position as Bearer, but when Dimar, her Dracoon boyfriend, disappears in his search for the new Bearer, she’s forced to follow his trail of clues.
The recap is spread over the chapters, so I had no problem catching up. My favorite characters remain Kal Zed, the grumpy talking cat and Diana’s Guardian, and Grim, the sentient tree who doesn’t speak- don’t we all love Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy?
Plenty of action in this book, too. Going from Grier to Rain’den to Vindar and many other places. Many scenes made me chuckle, especially with a babel stone that doesn’t translate so well. How about a wedding ceremony where the bridegroom has to hunt the bride- many guests are killed in the process- space horses/unicorns or a plague virus that makes people moo?
If you like some light sci-fi and the movie Jupiter Ascending and can look past a few typos, then you’ll love this book. Recommended.
I received a free copy and am leaving a voluntary review.
