The Comet Seekers tells a story of two people whose fate seems intertwined. But not convincingly. It’s a romance, but without the burn. Overall, I enjoyed the writing style. The story flowed well. The writing and the supporting cast kept me engaged. The two main characters fell a little flat. There was a Wuthering Heights/tragic first love element that seemed to hobble one character. The other never found his voice. At the end it seemed like everyone but the main characters found their peace, but we can’t really tell if the main characters found peace or just each other or neither.
