I read all of the trilogy and will be posting the same review for each book.
–
I found the series to be enjoyable, intriguing and amusing. Stevens gives us a read that is not demanding but remains compelling in that it sparks curiosity and wonder.
–
If such a thing exists I would call the series a science fiction comfort read. His two main characters pair for an excellent buddy dynamic. A younger lady, April, and older gentleman, Thomas, find unexpected friendship and the joy of wonder in exploring a strange and enigmatic world that is their very own secret.
–
The buddy dynamic shines with smooth humorous teasing/gotcha lines that carry a deeper understanding that Thomas and April genuinely cherish their friendship. The interplay is well written and feels incredibly natural.
–
The world they explore is a riddle requiring some thought in solving and sometimes just a roll of the dice. I enjoyed following along with the April and Thomas to see what the next obstacle held in store for them and how they would address it.
–
I could easily imagine myself in their boots and wondered how I might react or what choices I would make.
–
With one exception in the plot this is a feel good scifi read. You’ll have to read the series to find out what that exception is.

Nicely done Mr. Stevens.
