Kim robinson aurora6/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Creche is over and done, her time with all the kids she lives with so much, spending more time with them than she does with her parents, if you don’t count sleeping, it gets so tiresome to make it through all the boring hours, talking, arguing, fighting, reading alone, napping. ![]() I found myself alternately fascinated by ship logistics and bored by the simplistic structure of the narrative: Freya’s mother, Devi, is the head engineer, and we learn about various problems the ship and its people face through Devi’s troubleshooting. It is a clever introduction to a complex scenario, allowing the reader to see the world through child’s eyes, and providing for–somewhat–suspension of disbelief. Narration follows Freya, and the reader knows only as much as she does. It turns out Long Pond is in the Nova Scotia biome of a spaceship. ![]() Unfortunately, this a disappointment and a chore to complete.Īurora begins with Freya and her father sailing on Long Pond. I was looking forward to some space-faring sci-fi: I recently read Dune, and with plenty of news about The Expanse, the sci-fi series based on Leviathan Wakes, crossing my feed, I’ve been feeling nostalgic about space travel and unfamiliar planets. I don’t know how else to explain my reaction to a book so many enjoy. ![]()
