Rating: 4.5⭐️
Doubt sees Nora’s solitary existence crumbling as she builds a found family, which includes that of her alien AI companion Jonah, a real favorite in the cast of well crafted characters.
An excellent and well written book that moves all the many elements and character relationships of this series into new territory by revealing more of Nora’s history and allowing the conflicts of the characters to be explored and worked on, if possible.
The burrs, the science (so fascinating in how Schwartz is describing it), and its expansion towards a wider role in the coming stories is highly important and exciting.
Again, this book will send you immediately onto the next.
A winner in the writing, characters, world building, and fabulous storytelling.
