The Comet Seekers by Helen Sedgwick
3.0
3.5 stars
So, I was not expecting the more...fantastical elements in this book but that didn’t really detract from the story. I really enjoyed seeing François and Róisín’s stories slowly merge together. However, I was a bit confused about Brigitte... I would’ve liked to have gotten at least a little bit more information about her. (Actually, the family tree could’ve been clearer in general.)
I liked the shift in timelines as well as the astronomy lessons, but admittedly I was a bit taken aback by Róisín and Liam’s relationship. And of course, I’d have loved to see more of Róisín’s relationship with François once they are finally together. (That’s not a spoiler, I promise!) At least the ending was satisfying in that I didn’t have any lingering questions.
I think this would be an interesting movie, but I’m not exactly sure how to categorize this enough to recommend it to anyone in particular.
