![]() The settlers in Dawn have all the farmland, so they provide the crops for the city, but they don’t have the equipment, so a lot of things are done painstakingly by hand while in the shadow of crashed spaceships. The folks in Dusk had the most surviving materials, so they built a city and have a bustling economy. Multiple ships landed (sometimes crashed) on Eleusis, and cultures set in quickly and pretty irrevocably. It’s my second “generation ship leaves a doomed Earth” book in a row, but this one was better. There were some really cool things going on, and a couple of fascinating characters, and an ending that was satisfying without wrapping things up too neatly. I feel like Tim Gunn telling a Project Runway contestant that they had too many good ideas and should have saved a couple for the next challenge. But it feels like a debut from an author I would read more of. Everything I can think of to say about this one makes it sound like I didn’t like it, but it really wasn’t bad! It’s the author’s second book, but it still really feels like a debut novel. ![]()
