Secrets in the Stars by Mackey Chandler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Learning To Communicate

This is the third book in a continuing series. You need to have read the previous books to understand this one. The book ends with a natural break, but the story definitely continues. This book also has connections to an associated series that I now want to read because of the crossover of history and characters. The two series intersect and the reading order is listed on this post.

At the end of a long trip into the unknown, it’s now time to be heading back home, especially because they have new allies that need to spend money on weapons to keep themselves safe. The journey home is going to be a bit different to the one on the way there because they want to make sure they find as many resources as possible over the entire trip.

On the way back the members of the expedition are determined to solve the mystery of trying to communicate with the caterpillars. It seems that the desire to communicate is reciprocated.

It’s fascinating to read about the different species trying to work out how the other might think or express their concepts to each other. I particularly enjoyed seeing how the different races worked together to figure things out.

This journey also offers Lee more opportunities to learn about the universe and herself. She matures a lot in this book. I particularly enjoyed the part of the book that crossed over with a different series by the same author. It definitely made me want to read that series as well because the characters are intriguing as is the story that this book’s plot hinted at that’s contained in the other series.

This series continues to impress me in its attention to details surrounding different planets and societies. The universe building is impressive. This can slow down the plot in places, but I’m enjoying the journey so much I can’t grumble too much about that. I can’t wait to get my teeth into the next book. It definitely looks like the adventure’s only really getting started!
