Perceptions

Mary Eicher moves Artemis' story about seven years after we left The Harbinger. It kind of picks up where the mystery left off, but if you have not read the first book, it is okay as Perceptions can be read as a standalone. I do not recommend it as the first book is perfection and Perceptions is missing some of what made me love Harbinger so much.

This is not to say that Perceptions is not a satisfying book - it is a good read. It has a solid mystery with an interesting twist which I think will come back to bite the characters in the butt later. This book focuses on the mystery and an origin story.

It also spotlights Angie's role and her growth since becoming aware of her precog ability. Eicher's use of Greek mythology is fascinating here as I once mixed this genre and astronomy myself in college and I love it.

I cannot wait for the third book in this trilogy as Eicher ends this book with a shocking bang for those who did not guess it. Perceptions is a twist on what you might assume.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
