Starting the book, I was hoping to get more from Elmas POV but reading the title clearly shows that this is not the case. I’m not sure what I was thinking there ;-) In this part, we see what happens on the earth and the moon from Nicole Wargin’s perspective.https://vmac.ch/posts/2020-01-25-fated-sky-lady-astronaut-review/Sat, 25 Jan 2020 08:23:00 +0100https://vmac.ch/posts/2020-01-25-fated-sky-lady-astronaut-review/I finished reading The Fated Sky: Lady Astronaut Novel by Mary Robinette Kowal.📚 The second issue connects directly after the first book. We now have a station on the moon, and Elma York – the main protagonist – works now as a space bus driver on the moon for half the year. But as this does not make for an exciting book, she soon managed to get onto the first mission to Mars.https://vmac.ch/posts/2020-01-21-ncalculating-stars-review/Tue, 21 Jan 2020 17:27:00 +0100https://vmac.ch/posts/2020-01-21-ncalculating-stars-review/I just ended reading The Calculating Stars: A Lady Astronaut Novel by Mary Robinette Kowal.📚 I’m not sure anymore where I found this book, but I liked it! It reminded me a lot to the Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. I think mostly due to a similar structure, but this book is undoubtedly less science fiction and more alternate history. Another aspect is for this story is the accessible writing style of the author.
