Re: Review of Homecoming

I see you got to read the sequels of Project Tau. I'm happy for you! You seem to have loved it as much as book one, and it only makes me want to read this series even more. I'm glad to read that this sequel is not disappointing and that the author maintained the same excitement and humor.
As always, keep up the good work!

Jude Austin effortlessly maintains the same excitement and suspense in this second book as her first. Take a shower and eat food, because once you start reading, you might as well have gorilla tape on your chair. Something I love about this writer is how she manages to inject timely humor into the narrative. The dialogue had me in stitches. Tau, who has never been outside the laboratory and lacks most life experience and knowledge, has a convincing personality. At one point, when Dan is observed to be viewing "adult materials," Tau wonders why, if Dan wants to look at unclothed humans, he does not just look in a mirror!

Great review!

Maria, I found the mirror comment super funny too! I always wonder where these authors pull these gems from?! How does one simply think like a clone, to create a character!? That's a great point you make about needing to go our own ways! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me a thoughtful comment! Until next time...María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 11:18That's hilarious. And so is your comment about gorilla tape. I really enjoyed your reflection on the separate paths that Tau and Kata took. Sometimes we need to go our own way to learn what we need.
Great review!

Anais, I almost missed your comment! Yes, I love this series. I just finished the last book in the series (review pending), and I'm kind of sad because I want to read the next one...now!Anaïs Quesson wrote: ↑03 Nov 2023, 16:53 Hi there, Cara

You are so right, that first book in this series was brutal! I liked that the author addressed the expected trauma in the next book - it would have felt unrealistic otherwise. Have you read through all three books?! Thanks as always for taking the time to read my reviews and comment! Until next time...NetMassimo wrote: ↑07 Nov 2023, 15:53 I read this novel and I liked it. Project Tau was brutal in its depiction of abuse and manipulation, Homecoming is more subtle, depicting different types of abuse and manipulation. Both novels offer food for thought. Thank you for your great review!

I know that the third book of the series was published because I saw the official review here on OBC but I still have to read it.

I finished the third book, and since you've enjoyed the first two, it is absolutely worth reading! It is twice as long but opens up the entire "Five Worlds" and is just as good! Happy reading!

This is certainly a really good one to dive into! Series are the gift that just keeps giving, so long as the next book is ready, of course! Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment, appreciate you!
