mattfinlayson 's review for:
The Calculating Stars
by Mary Robinette Kowal
I heard of this book through the incomparable and it came with glowing reviews. It pulled me in immediately with the premise, time period, and point of view character.
At first I enjoyed Elma and her perspective, the pacing of the books main conflict was spot on. I loved her relationship with her husband and how capable she was. About half way through the book though, Elma’s primary struggle with anxiety started to get old. By the end of the book I was glad to see the resolution, but I was happy to stop reading. This book was well written, but I won’t be reading the sequel.
