A Fantastic Continuation
5 out of 5 stars
This is the 2nd book in this series and I believe the sixth overall book from Scott Baron that I’ve read and to be completely honest – they just keep getting better. While book one in this series was easily one of the most interesting science fiction books I’ve read in quite some time – Pushing Daisy set up such an interesting problem for Daisy to try and solve. A problem that I was happy to be along for the ride.
Pushing Daisy (slight spoilers for the first book – there I warned you) tells of Daisy after she’s picked back up from Earth. She’s learning to live with her sister in her head (along with the things that come with that). She’s also against going back to the surface now that she knows exactly who she is and how she “doesn’t have a past”. The book was basically two different parts that showed her life on the ship and her life… not on the ship as she’s forced into action yet again.
Pushing Daisy was just as good as the first book and had a totally different feel. The first book had a ton of paranoia and mystery solving. Book two was mostly about trying to solve different issues and forming new bonds with unlikely friends. I really enjoyed the latter aspect that I mentioned and it’s hard to talk about without spoiling this book. But I thought that it was something that isn’t usually in science fiction books like these.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and had a blast reading it. I thought that Vivienne Leheny crushed the narration, doing a great job not just telling the story but bringing Daisy to life. If you’re a fan of really well thought out science fiction that’s fast paced – this series is definitely for you.
