A review by lib_britannia
Silence in Solitude by Melissa Scott
4.0
Scott continues to entertain in this sequel, delving deeper into the world of non-mechanical space travel and technology while beginning to pluck at the subtly laid feminist threads from the first novel. This series has continued to surprise me by delivering far more than I ever expected from a little-known 80s pulp sci-fi paperback about a woman with a cheesy name and two husbands.
One star knocked off for the sometimes too-long deep dives into the inner workings of the tech and the way ships function. After a certain point it begins to feel a bit tedious, like listening to a young child tell you from the highest level of excitement about their current most favorite thing in expansive and excruciating detail.
