I really enjoy alien settings usually, but this one just didn't feel alien enough despite the insubstantial flowers and christal aliens snacking on light.<br /><br />The only bit that got me excited was Jamy's description of the golden section in space, and that's just because it was a lovely image, the rest of the plot barely registered as you said. <br /><br />Btw, why in the name of fetted photon didn't they have Mindy played by an actress who could sing! Really, her squeakings would embarrass a pub karaoke! finest voice in the universe?<br /><br />I'm actually finding the early series of the companion chronicles far more miss than hit at the moemnt, which is a shame, though fortunately there are still a couple of stories like Mother Russia to remind me how good this series gets, indeed I can't wait until they hit their stride and I get back to tales like Home truths or the jigsaw war.darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15526681809763999806noreply@blogger.com
