She survived hell. Now her real problems begin.
Opal Imbiana is many things to many people. Hero. Traitor. Soldier. Deserter. Criminal. Explorer.
Survivor.
She finally achieved her life’s goal: to rescue her little sister from the utterly alien Null zone.
But the world she returns to has changed. Her friends are gone, and her enemies are more powerful than ever.
In the bleakest situations, it takes an exceptional mind to keep hope alive.
Book Review
I’ve enjoyed every story in the Lost Solace series so far, including the Lost Tales of Solace, so was looking forward to seeing what would come next for Opal and Clarissa.
I’m thinking my words might not make much sense here as I want to be careful not to give anything away!
The beginning had me full of hope, would this be their happy ever after as siblings?
So much blew my mind in Hidden Solace.
Opal is a great ‘player’ for the mind games, psychological tests and physical hardships Aseides implements. However, even though her thought processes and who she is haven’t changed, Clarissa does make her vulnerable.
Maybe Clarissa is a hidden strength for her though. Maybe. The Null zone is still an enigma so who knows what changes might have happened!?!
Opal is always monitoring and looking for weaknesses that she can exploit. This woman is truly a warrior!
I couldn’t believe who was brought to Opal’s room! Karl Drinkwater said before he had plans for this character, but this! Nope, didn’t see that coming.
In this story we get to experience another ship but in a totally different environment and this ship has a totally different purpose. This brings a fresh feel to the series.
I understood Aseides passion for his work and did enjoy the scientific and exploratory aspect, not so much the cold bloodedness of the way he worked though …
The second part of the story takes us away from Opal and Clarissa into Greek mythology. This all blew my mind as well. I can’t wait to find out the truth! I know what I want to happen but Karl Drinkwater is slippery and doesn’t always show me what I want 🙂 One author who keeps me on my toes!
Sometimes it’s hard to stay on track with a series but I can say in all honesty, if you’re a fan of science fiction or dystopia, the Lost Solace series is one that is worth your while to keep tabs on.
