Planetfall by Emma Newman
4.0
‘Planetfall’ by Emma Newman was the July pick for my online book club.
Renata Ghali followed Lee Suh-Mi into space, but that was 22 years ago and Suh is gone and Ren is one of the few holding on to the lie behind the disappearance. When Suh’s son shows up from the other landing site on the planet, Ren fights to keep her secrets, but the past is coming unraveled.
Ren is an interesting main character who suffers from some mental illness. It’s quite unlike a lot of characters I’ve read. The story seems to speed up towards the end, and I feel like there is a lot suddenly happening in the last 20 percent of the book, but I enjoyed reading it.
