Wow. Wow. Wow. This book absolutely floored me. I was not quite sure what to expect in the terms of the story and characters, but man was this good. I'm not going to give any sort of synopsis at all. Just read it. Seriously. Just read it.

Hilarious and short. Well told little horror story, good for a pallet cleanser between books if you read the kind of heavy things I do.
I had seen the movie a long time ago and this was of course similar but with more detail on how Dren was created. The characters are also fleshed out more and have more room to breathe. I understand when adapting to a movie it is not always perfect, and in this case the book was better. It gave me more than I expected in a surprising way.

Wow! Okay. Wow! Okay....wow. This was a refreshing read. It has everything I love, too. Scifi, romance, cosmic horror. I dunno if I'm good at this review thing, however the authors command over language was impeccable. It slowly built, the characters were great, and I am absolutely floored. When it got to the moment, and if you read it you'll know what I am talking about, it is a descent much like a rollercoaster, and man does it have a long drop. The stakes kept raising, but not in any sort of ridiculous manner. I just did not know what to expect, and was surprised, again! The love story was also well told, the relationship between London and Temple seeming realistic and very much adorable.
This was a well told story, and it was probably one of my favorites this year. Thank you A.L. for breaking my heart, you are truly a good storyteller.
Thank you BookSirens for this opportunity to read The Scientist, The Spaceman and The Stars Between Them.
