A “slice-of-life geek-fest”/romance about a middle-aged woman adjusting to life on a new planet. It is set after the events of the Touchstone Trilogy and Gratuitous Epilogue, and I’m not sure whether it qualifies as a sequel or as a companion novel. In terms of plot, it technically stands alone, but much of the appeal is in seeing familiar characters - Cass and co. - from someone else’s perspective. It feels a bit like fanfiction. Except it's not. I found it highly entertaining. I particularly liked Laura’s relationship with her sister, and all their fandom references. "You were very subdued. What happened to your scheme for testing Tsur Selkie's credulity?" "I know! I couldn't do it! Whenever I thought about being silly I got all tongue-tied. Tongue-tied, Laura. Me! And I was looking forward to this all week, thinking of all the things I could try to get him to include in his official reports. I was going to tell him that Maze is a beautiful cinnamon roll, too precious for this world, too pure. Just to see how he'd react." "He'd probably agree with you. If you explained what that meant." "But would he put it in his reports? In Cass' diaries, they're always putting everything in reports. I was hoping to introduce all the KOTIS stuffed-shirts to Tumblr-speak, and convince them that's how Earth people usually talk." aucune critique | ajouter une critique

One does not simply walk onto another planet. At least not without the help of a daughter who has developed unlikely powers, fought an intra-dimensional war, and then arranged for a family relocation to a futuristic clone of Earth. Laura Devlin would gladly have paid any price to have her daughter back, so living in a techno-paradise with spaceship views is merely an added bonus. And a dream come true.But Arcadian paradises do not come without complications. Laura's include a plethora of psychic grandchildren. Interplanetary diplomacy. Her daughter's immense fame. And KOTIS, the military watchdog that seems to consider Laura's entire family government property.Forewarned by her daughter's experiences, Laura had anticipated as many problems as she could, and didn't doubt her ability to cope with the rest. But she had not planned on Gidds Selkie, a military officer 'chipped from flint' and not at all the sort of man lifelong geek Laura had ever imagined would find her interesting.Burned in the past, Laura is surprised to find herself tempted. Is this a new start to go with a new world? Or a mismatch doomed to failur Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Laura views Muina, the Setari, Selkie and the Taren society entirely differently then Cassandra (her daughter) because she has a very different place in it.
As much as I love Cass' style, Laura is probably closer to how I would react. Likely helps I'm closer to her age then Cass'.
Also dude Laura and her sister Sue would SO BE my sister Tegan and I. ( )
