Earthlight by
Bevan Knight is the second book in the Seeds of Time trilogy, a superb read for
fans of science fiction that features magic, space travel, romance, and a lot
of drama. A family living in the future must survive amidst a plethora of
challenges and existential threats. Their situation becomes precarious with the
visit from the Croans who are on a scientific expedition. Can they survive
against the odds?
Readers
encounter compelling characters, each dealing with a unique situation. Euse and
Ess are on their expedition to different planets, an experience that offers a
unique thrill to fans of space opera. Julian is an interesting character, a man
who looks strong and confident from the outside but who is overburdened by fear
and guilt; Sierra and Carrie are aware that their father’s inner world is
falling apart but they can’t put a finger on what causes him so much guilt; Tim
gets the attention of his two sisters; Andrew, Maria, Dot, Karl, and Legrand
are other fully drawn characters that are as complex as they are real. Bevan
Knight delivers an immersive reading experience in this astonishing space
opera, a story with unforgettable characters, superior storytelling, and
excellent world-building. The writing is gorgeous and the author’s keen sense
of detail makes it even more enjoyable. Earthlight
is a nuanced science fiction tale that packs a powerful punch, is deftly
plotted, is suspenseful, and features characters that are memorable. From the
stellar writing to the impeccable world-building, Knight offers a delightful
entry that reads perfectly as a standalone novel.
