Looking for Trouble by Joan I. Wendland

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I pre-ordered this book so I was on the list when it came out. I am very lucky to have spent some time with the author at science fiction conventions in the past – I was able to get a copy before the official release day.

I agree with the author – I don’t want to tell you how to go about enjoying your books – but you’ll get a lot more out of this second in the series if you read the first one, well, first (you should totally go buy it if you haven’t!).

I enjoyed this book. I like the world and the premise. I like the characters.

I was looking for something light, and there is some heavy stuff in this book. I don’t think it was meant to be in depth and certainly didn’t feel like some other works I’ve read where it felt like as much text book or research paper as it did anything else – but there were parts of this story where I was reading and felt as weighted down as the protagonist.

I think that’s a sign of some very good writing right there. This book also does something that the best science fiction does. It takes on things from the real world in fictional terms. There’s a lot of stuff to discuss from this book too. I’d love to chat about it – you should go get it and read it!
