Reviews of Holiday on Planet Jolieterre; a Nova Skylar Space Nurse Adventure by Linda Collison
Not overly good or bad, I enjoyed it but it did not really engage me.
This was a lively story. With an imaginative set of characters brought together quickly. The author does Sci-Fi well with great inventiveness, descriptions and word usage that made the unreal and yet to be invented seem real in my mind. The abrupt ending left me wanting to read more. This would be a witty story to pursue with endless possibilities. This is easy reading for even the non-Sci-Fi reader and was time very well spent.
