good

Not a typical Taylor Jenkins Reid romance but a great read! I wasn’t expecting the historical romance/space aspects and I wasn’t sure I loved it at first, but the more the book went on, the more I opened up to it. I really liked the characters and felt so connected to them while reading. The past/present switch in narration was a bit confusing at first, but when the stories came together in the present, it was great!

I loved this book so much! It was an exciting way to end the series. It was funny, with that little hint of romance, but it’s not strong, and it’s also not the main theme of the story. It was an incredible series. Everyone should read this book!

Again, awesome book that contains 2 novellas about Murderbot, the SecUnit that hacked its government module that just wants to watch TV shows. Read all the book! It’s awesome!

I really liked reading about other characters and this book unlocked so much lore but I did kinda miss the protagonists but I liked that there were appearances from starflight and snowfall who are both protagonists and they did mention winter too

I really liked fierceteeth’s perspective but I wish it was longer

Loved it!

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am a fan of Ms. Wiseman's writing - specifically, all the research she does to write her books. I did not know much about the coal industry at all. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of it after reading Coal River. I love historical books because I like to learn while I read. Emma is a young woman who once lived in Coal River. She's vowed to never return for very good reason. After becoming an orphan years later, she finds herself back in Coal River at her Uncle Otis' home. He is the local coal mine owner and a brutal, harsh man. Her Aunt Ida only wants Emma in the home to provide free maid duties. Emma has a past history with her cousin Percy and is not happy to live in their home. Emma has maid duties as well as store clerk duties in the coal mine's general store. She begins to learn about the coal mine and how its employees are treated. Most upsetting to her is how young the breaker boys are and how dangerous their jobs are. I don't give away spoilers so I'll just say this was a spectacular, emotional read that is so well written. I was often sad while reading it, but also found a lot of hope in Emma.

Mehh. Story was weird. 2.5 stars

It was okay. It was too short and it just didn’t really appeal to me.
