While I grew up on a lot of Star Trek and can appreciate sci-fi movies like, say, the original Planet of the Apes pentalogy, I've not actually read much sci-fi. It's one of the genres I've been branching out into this year, a little bit, so this was a good read for someone who's only visited this genre occasionally.

Gee, thanks!EmilyAnne128 wrote: ↑30 Dec 2017, 04:11 Beautiful review. The beginning paragraphs sounded like a well-written story rather than a review and made me want to read the book all the more. I am curious. Would you consider this book as more of a fantasy or a science fiction? Your description made it sound more like fantasy, except for the distinct placement on another planet. Would you care to explain a little more?
And, now, I'm sure I answered your question days ago. Been having a little trouble with my replies disappearing, so if my answer is late or it actually shows up twice somehow, I beg your pardon.
I can't say if this book is "more" sci-fi or fantasy. I consider it to be sci-fi because of its setting in a particular galaxy, the story's interplanetary relations/revolt, technology that must be futuristic, and creatures that are the product of science. The story also has much of a fantasy feel, however--for reasons I could probably articulate better if I were more of an expert in the fantasy and sci-fi genres. But as an inexpert reader of both genres, I think fans of both can enjoy this novel.

Planet no. 1 is a little far away from the sun but Planet no.2 is way closer to sun and is covering planet no .1 and basically protecting it .
There is a Doyen in the story who acts as a prophet and tell a hopeful News but at this time he didnt told about hope but danger.There is a girl named Lulu in the story who sees the doyen to be assassinated.
Until this is what i Understood.This is an honest reply or you can say post from my side .

Thanks! Now I'll have to remind myself to keep my eyes open for the next book in the series.Lysander99 wrote: ↑09 Feb 2018, 21:13 This seems like an interesting science fiction story that shows how a society can develop solely based on their position to their sun. From the review i can see that this novel handles this concept properly as well as dealing with the characters paradigm shift when their world is changed.
Nice review.
