Mica left Sol five years ago to follow her dream, although this did mean leaving her lover behind. Simon had his own plans for Mica and himself that he never told her, pride and circumstance getting in the way. Things go well for Mica, but not so good for Simon. It is due to these circumstances that Simon shoots down Mica's craft, not knowing that she is the pilot. Choices have to be made by Mica and Simon - will they ever be able to trust each other, and be together, again?
This novella packs a punch as you have pretty much everything you could wish for. You get a back story, plot, and possible future. You learn about their political system, about the different categories of planets, and the different people who live on them. With plenty of action and adventure, this is a delightful first story in the Sol Sisters series. Definitely recommended by me.

Now back to this. I liked the connection between Brandt and Sarah, it's been obvious for pretty much this entire series that they were going to get together at some point in the future and I loved how protective he was of her with he CP. They were pretty much everything to each other since they were 13!
I love how everyone made an appearance in this! Confusing knowing which child belongs to which parents but so cute reading about their antics.
This was another story in this series that at times, I struggled with in places. The mum thing had me cringing but equally hurting for him, the stroke had me annoyed--wondering if we were going to have a HEA at the end. I had my highs and lows with this story but the characters definitely end up tugging at my heart strings for one reason or another.

You expect a film about grief, and to some extent this is one, although it's really a chronicle of grief foretold, as the characters anticipate a loss to come. It's also about cultural differences, family life, and the way in which people routinely tell lies to each other every single day simply in order to keep life livable. The film skates along over the top of all this and treats it all with a light and delicate touch. Not an absolute tear-jerker, I thought, but there are some very touching moments (then again, I may be emotionally atrophied, who knows). Not a huge amount actually happens but the film has clearly been made with intelligence and skill.
