I agree with Jenny! I also really liked The Mercy of Thin Air and it seems very Heather to me. It also has horribly sad parts, though, so just be careful if you happen to be doing it via audiobook on a drive somewhere!

I will skip this book.

Yep. Same here. Oh well. I’ll still try Domingue’s third book, whenever that one shows up. I like her as a writer, just didn’t love this one.

Yep, you are correct. I read Out of the Silent Planet recently, which also has a kind of utopia, and that was much more interesting to read about.

Read The Mercy of Thin Air! It’s good.

So, I realize now I made it sound very much like this was the second book in a series. It isn’t! Ronlyn Domingue’s first novel, The Mercy of Thin Air, is an unrelated standalone. And it’s really good!

I have now! Review is forthcoming. 🙂

You’re welcome. I actually think you would really, really like The Mercy of Thin Air. It’s a very you sort of book.

I actually got used to it pretty quickly. It wasn’t as jarring as I expected.

Oh, sorry, it’s not a series! Ronlyn Domingue’s first book is a sort of ghost story set in Louisiana in modern days and the 1920s. It’s good though, very worth reading.
