All We See or Seem

Leah Sanders (Goodreads Author)
Gryff’s orders lay unopened on the table.
The silent tension caused Gem to bite her lip. She tucked a loose strand of auburn hair behind her ear and shifted uneasily in the chair. Wide-eyed, Gryff sat stiffly beside her, regarding the envelope. He was like a statue—hands on his knees—staring interminably at the table.
Finally, Gem cleared her throat. Gryff jolted as if in a...more

Before we begin it should be noted that I received this book because a very attractive woman I know won it in a FirstReads drawing. She was kind enough to pass it along to me and so I'd like to invite her over for dinner sometime so I can properly show my appreciation.
Overall I would give Sanders' offering fairly high marks. For the uninitiated to the genre it's an accessible introduction to the "Brave New World" line of science fiction. The story runs as a parallel love story and degenerate soc...more

A beautifully written sci fi story that swung from romance to intrigue and back again. The writing style varies, too, with sections of an austere minimalism — dialogue only, no narration — that leave the reader gasping to keep up with all the packed-in meanings, followed by slow, haunting, long-distance love-dream scenes. Oh, shoot, it's hard to explain. It's beautiful and intriguing. There will be a sequel soon, right? Right? You're not just going to leave it there, are you?
