Five-star review of Still the Sun by Charlie N. Holmberg
Holmberg is one of my favorite fantasy writers and this latest novel didn’t disappoint. She’s explained that the idea for this story came to her in a dream. However she came up with the plot and world of this book, it was very unusual. I was with Pelnophe all the way through as she tried to understand the machines she was attempting to fix inside a tower a distance from Emgarden, the town where she lived. Were they artefacts of the ancients? Who were the two strange men who’d been living in the tower? There were so many mysteries that were gradually but satisfyingly resolved in this town where the shining sun alternated with an all-encompassing mist. There’s room left for a sequel I hope Holmberg will write.
