Picked this up last night just to check it out. Next thing I knew I was finished with Part 1 and it was past my bedtime. Short easy to read chapters and I love the family.
This is the We Are Satellites discussion thread and not The Quantum Magician?

I think Allison got work-busy before she finished changing the folder name! You're in the correct thread :)

edit: And now it's fixed! :D (Just as I posted this.)

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

Yep, sorry! Should be fixed!

That's what I thought .
Thank you and Anna for all your work on the board.

I am able to read this on Scribd, so I plan to pick it up as soon as I'm finished with the latest Becky Chambers.

A very interesting concept for a plot!

[Bonnie]

So far seems short on science fiction and long on the family time... but a pleasant read.

[Anushree]

I will start reading now. I am still not sure about the plot

[Banshee]

I started the audiobook 2 days ago and I'm already more than 30% in. It's definitely nice and easy to go through, and I'm having a good time. I like the family dynamics so far, but I hope there will be more science later on.

[Mrs S E White]

Started, most of the way through now, a good easy read. The relationships are realistic, looking forward to see how it ends

[Christopher]

I'm pretty sure I'd not be an early adopter of a technology like this. I'm still wary of lasik and how long has that been out? I'm just fine over here with my glasses & contacts, thank you.

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

Enjoying the soft scifi element and the juxtaposition with current biomed concerns.

[Mindy]

I am 150 pages in and really enjoying the story! I love the scenes of family life and how the stories of the characters really demonstrate the many personal implications of the science fiction elements.

[Meredith]

Just getting started on this. Finished Part 1. I like the characters as we are learning about them and how the family dynamics are developing. Also, I'm surprised to find some personal resonance as I was thinking about how my niece and nephew (both teens) would fit into this world, and how they kind of align with the two kids in the story (though not identical to them).

[DivaDiane]

I just started this too. I’m listening and finding the two adult women a bit hard to distinguish, but I think I’ve got it now. I’m on the 5th or 6th chapter now and really enjoying it. It is very relatable.

[Mareike]

Necroposting to say that I jus started this and am looking forward to seeing where this goes.
