The past is pulled convincingly through to the future, set against a backdrop of Earth history that hasn't yet happened, but plausibly could. It's clear an enormous amount of thought and research went into this book. In some places it felt a little too detail heavy, but with a sequel in the works, it might have been necessary. In the end, it all does help paint a vivid picture of the future the humans dwell in. The fantasy elements nicely offset the science fiction, emphasising the differences between the populations. The love interest factor could have been developed more, it almost feels like an afterthought, but it's appropriate that romance takes a back seat in this book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"A wonderfully entertaining debut novel."-Compelling Science Fiction Reclaimed Earth Book 1 Car-En, a ringstation anthropologist on her first Earth field assignment, observes a Viking-like village in the Harz mountains. As Car-En secretly observes the Happdal villagers, she begins to see them as more than research subjects (especially Esper, a handsome bow-hunter). When Esper's sister is taken by an otherworldly sword-wielding white-haired man, she can no longer stand by as a passive witness. Knowing the decision might end her career, she cuts off communication with her advisor and pursues the abductor into the mountains.

Overall, I enjoyed the book, its strength being the novelty of some of the evolutionary aspects along with the yet to be fully understood Crucible, but (and it may be because I’m currently binge watching The 100) some of the apocalyptic aspects felt unoriginal and overplayed.
Only complaint and it’s not something I’d need out of every book, but I just didn’t feel like I connected with any of the characters. Adrian and Katja who were secondary characters for the most part were both pretty intolerable and everyone else was just... there. Not unlikeable but also not someone I was routing for. Would I read more? Absolutely, and that’s the basis for my rating, but maybe flesh out the characters a bit more.
Thanks as always to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review. ( )
