T Jones's Reviews > Shivering World

I found this book to be rather original and creative. Issues that are relevant now, or may be in the future, are addressed but not in a preachy way. It was a fun, adventurous, sometimes tense story, that ends on a hopeful note.

I originally got the book as part of a lot that included other books I was looking for. It sat on my shelf for a while, as I waited until I was in the right mood for this type of genre. Halfway through reading it, I was liking it well enough to see if the author had written other books. I was surprised to see that she had written 2 titles in the "Star Wars" series, which makes sense, given her talent and detail in describing space worlds, habitats, science/tech, etc.

The author was not afraid to insert dialogue about and explanation of various beliefs, including her own Christian worldview that comes through in some of the characters. It is interesting to see how various characters view or express said beliefs, and either outright reject any understanding of someone who sees the world(s) and people differently, or are open to working with others with whom they differ, or even have their perceptions changed. She did this well, along with just writing an interesting story in general, and I think I would enjoy reading other books by her.
