Light from Other Stars by Erika Swyler

emotional inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I love my scifi and this was good however we never really understood how amadeus made her space travel possible or how popping the bubble made it work? I didn’t like her ending line about how she carried women and the men who had suppressed them because it felt thrown in. We don’t really explore that that much and it reduces her character. There had been a great exploration of her character in all other senses but that was what summed her up? Idk if I’d agree with that. 10/10 for the delicious delectable writing. Gorgeous literary descriptions that melded the scifi writing and explanations and loved how she explored the characterizations with the smell and little things about people.
