MY PERSONAL OPINION OF “STILL THE SUN” BY by Charlie N. Holmberg

I got the book from the Kindle Prime Membership “Monthly Pick” option. I was intrigued by the premise of the book, and I have read at least two other books from the author and liked them a lot.

I truly enjoyed reading this book! From beginning to end, it was a superb read that had me turning page after page. The story in itself I found it to be fascinating and unique, with fantasy and romance mixed in a very special way. As we get submerged in Pell’s life and what is happening to her we grow more determined to understand what is happening. I really enjoyed that the twists were given one by one because it allowed me to piece together the big story slowly which then culminates in a fantastic end.

I really enjoyed the main characters, especially Pell and Heartwood, and their growing love. Pell was smart, strong, loyal, vulnerable, caring, and brave. I also enjoyed how the world was described, the lives of the people in which their world does not have night, and the Sun is always present. A truly entertaining book that describes this new world in such a way that becomes credible and visible to the re

I totally recommend this book if you like fantasy and romance mixed together in a perfect combination!

PREMISE OF THE BOOK AS FOUND IN AMAZON / GOODREADS:

Pell is an engineer and digger by trade―unearthing and repairing the fascinating artifacts left behind by the mysterious Ancients who once inhabited the sunbaked planet of Tampere. She’ll do anything to help the people of her village survive and to better understand the secrets of what came before.

Heartwood and Moseus are keepers of a forbidding tower near the village of Emgarden. Inside are the remnants of complex machines the likes of which Pell has never seen. Considering her affinity for Ancient tech, the keepers know Pell is their only hope of putting the pieces of these metal puzzles together and getting them running. The tower’s other riddle is Heartwood himself. He is an enigma, distant yet protective, to whom Pell is inexplicably drawn.

Pell’s restoration of this broken behemoth soon brings disturbing visions―and the discovery that her relationship to it could finally reveal the origins of the tower’s strange keepers and the unfathomable reason the truth has been hidden from her.
