Reviews

[Carrie]

It was fun to read a "new" work by Linnea Sinclair, who is probably my favorite sci-fi rom author. I'm not going to rate it because it's the start of a series that didn't happen after the original publisher closed down, so the story is unfinished. Originally a prequel novella, the story spends a lot of time presenting the the setting and workings of the space stayion in detail along with setting up the major conflicts, while also introducing the characters. There is some interaction between what I believe were to be the romantic couple in at least one future book, but it's safe to say it's an antagonistic relationship at this point.

As always Ms. Sinclair does a great job of worldbuilding. She's always thorough and consistent with the worlds, the customs, the language and the characters. I honestly wish this series had continued, because the set up is great.

I highly recommend Linnea Sinclairs published works, including Finder's Keepers, Games of Command and The Accidental Goddess for entertaining sci-fi romance with great worldbuilding.

Well, the book ended, but there was no ending to the story. I am very disappointed. I feel like I just read half a book and there is no 2nd half.... very frustrating, because I was involved in the story:/

Tediously slow and confusing. I didn't make it far, so attempt at your own risk.

Usually love Linnea Sinclair's writing but couldn't get into this one.
