Review: As a avid science fiction reader I wanted this book to be a "good read". Though the beginning seemed uneven, I was hooked by the middle and then carried the book everywhere. As a teacher at the end of the term, finding time to read is diffcult, believe me I found it!The characters are well defined, I want to know more. The story line is refreshing, what will happen next? I am truly grateful Ms Nichols does not mind going "Beyond Uhura" and bringing us Nyota, Tetrok, and Sturna.

Review: I fell in love with Saturn's Child when I first read it three years ago. And I'm still dying to find out what happens to Saturna. The first time I read it I couldn't put it down. Now all I want to do is pick up the sequel. So if you want an excellent read and you have the patience to wait, Saturn's Child is the book for you.

Review: I hardly ever read a book that I just cannot finish, but this was one of those rare instances. I tried, really tried to get into it, but I never made it past page 50 or so. The characters didn't strike me as believable. The world-building was clunky at best. But the worst offense of this book was in the writing. Most of it was passive voice and overstated motivation to try and make the characters seem real. I can see why Nichols grabbed a co-author on this one. Too bad it didn't help more.

Summary: Captivated
Review: It honestly took me awhile to get into this story. It seemed like a typical sappy love story, from the go. I thought it a waste of time so I put it down but found myself reading it under duress -- I didn't have anything else to read.

To my pleasant surprise, the story improved dramatically and by the end I desperately wanted to see where everything would go. Though, a persistent frustration was the lack of chemistry. If I weren't told of their affections I would not have guessed it, except that it was obvious that Tetrok and Nyota would end up together from the initial meeting.

I was also disappointed to find that there has yet to be an addition to the story, leaving things incomplete.

I can guess what's likely to happen but this one surprised me so I'd much rather read it. The second book would have definitely been more enjoyable.

Review: This book was very engaging and would stand on its own easily without Nichelle's name attached to it. I am One of the Many paitiently waiting to find out what happens to Saturna. Hopefully we wont have much longer.
