Weekly SCI FI Diary | December 20th 2024

to be honest it is fairly routine stuff and possibly even young adult in tone and it's a little bit predictable still there were things to like the steampunk Seattle was interesting and the author does some interesting things

I really enjoyed the Clash or rather the gentle mingling of everyday Village Life with the alien with the matter of fact Yorkshire folk getting on with their lives in this new reality

it was a fun read the book holds up at least as well as the as the movie as the original movie was entertaining stuff

the various psychic connections are unraveled and reformed and unraveled again in quite a satisfying way as the tale progresses and I enjoyed the World building and there are some nice reveals about the exact nature of the center and I thought that Misha was a pretty good protagonist as well
