Second book in the saga of Emily Edwards. I enjoyed it, but didn't love it. The pacing is off. The main character feels curiously passive, even though, thinking back, she actually did keep taking matters into her own hands. But for some reason, it doesn't feel like it. Why is that? I can't quite pu...

Not everything is hunky dory in Emily and Stanton's life and future even not including Stanton's mom. I liked this book but not as much as the first, close but no cigar. The east coast/west coast trip seemed like a waste of time to me and the book's progress seemed to slow toward the middle. But ...
Second verse, same as the first! Just kidding. Sort of. I liked the first of this series, The Native Star, almost despite myself. The opening is rough, like a chainsaw working out the bite into the flesh of the log. But it finds its bite partway through the book in a way that treats American history...
I think it's been too long since I read The Native Star. I remember liking it, but it wasn't a book I'd read again. Having said that, I'm a bit lost in this one and having a hard time getting into it.
While the first book in this series, 'Native Star' was a definite page-turner, it was not without its flaws. The sequel, 'The Hidden Goddess' seems to have remedied most of the things that annoyed me about the first one, while retaining the fun, fast pace of the story.I did wish protagonist Emily go...
This was not what I was expecting. With Dreadnought about to be invested as the Institute's Sophos, there was little chance of him and Emily getting together. It's this separation that allowed for a lot of discovery. This second book brought me back to what I loved in Native Star: adventure and a pe...
On the whole I enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as "The Native Star", and at the end I was left feeling rather melancholy because the series seems wrapped up now. It's got a "happily ever after" feel to it, which for some reason I found oddly dissatisfying (even though I'd been rooting for Emily a...
The first half of this book was a grueling read, though it was evident that the trials and disappointments Emily faced early on were simply a foundation for her triumphs later. Hobson did a great job bringing everything together, and the second half of the book was definitely worth powering through...
