From an early age, Wendy seems naturally disposed to care for others. The eldest Darling child, a “tidy,” practical girl with a soft spot in her heart for orphaned or abandoned creatures.

"This is the kind of anthropological SF of which is an acknowledged master." - Booklist Cherryh's splendid Foreigner series remains at the top of my must-keep-up reading list after two decades." - Locus The Foreigner series sets the standard for sci-fi first contact sagas-a smart, probing, engaging sociopolitical narrative from an acknowledged master of the genre.

Ready to hand is an age-old feud in the west, where the Master of Ashidama Bay has long hated the Edi people of the north shore and equally hated the Aishidi’tat for bringing the Edi to his shores-and hatred is a resource the Shadow Guild knows how to use to its advantage.īren Cameron is tasked with getting Ilisidi, the aiji-dowager, back to the capital alive, on an urgent basis.

Plus, one side character is pretty much an asshole from beginning to end and I wasn’t particularly satisfied with the resolution… But!ĭespite that clumsiness, I Think I Love You features a cute sapphic romance: even if Emma and Sophia are difficult on their own, together they give off cute vibes that I very much enjoyed! I really liked the scenes they shared (holding hands under a blanket! how cute!) and it shadowed quite efficiently the minor inconveniences. And when we finally get to be introduced to this said sapphic romance, it is done clumsily. Then, for the first third of the book, the story focuses more on the straight love story of two side characters than on the sapphic romance we were promised. Unfortunately, I Think I Love You didn’t really meet all of my expectations… I had some trouble at first caring about the characters, as Emma and Sophia - the main characters - are quite annoying on their own, both self-absorbed and obstinate. I was so happy when I got to take part in this book tour! If you’ve been following for some time, then you must have read that I Think I Love You was one of my most anticipated releases in 2021.
