Emergence Book Review
While much of each other's culture is still a mystery, a quiet understanding has formed between Humans and Neighbors. However, there are still those who would work against peace and instead head down paths of war.
The slow and steady relationship between Renee and August is a delight to read. They were able to move from being unable to understand each other’s language, to sharing their passion for science and preservation. But even though they are working together towards a mutually beneficial relationship between the two worlds, there is still background tension continuing to grow. Without their knowledge, other machinations are taking place that could spark disaster for both sides.
Kim Harrison also has a talent for creating cruel antagonists. Each novella has revealed more of Taylor’s horrific experiments and intentions. By the time readers encounter her in Emergence, they will have their blood boiling just as much as Renee and August’s.
With the foundations set in the first two books, Emergence leads the way with action and conflict. Being able to see through the eyes of both the Humans and Neighbors viewpoints up the tension. The catalyst for certain events and the emotional interpretations are fascinating. And with how this one ended, I sincerely hope there are more to come. This was an excellent read and I highly recommend this novella series for sci-fi and fantasy fans.
