Okay, I had this for a while before I got to it because I got behind, so I forgot what it was about. Anyway, after reading for a bit, I started figuring out what it was about but didn't fully understand the story/plot until the end. This also isn't my normal genre since I thought it was fantasy when it's clearly sci-fi so that colors my view a bit. I don't usually like or read a lot of sci-fi. This was interesting, but it was slow-moving. There were a few parts that were more fast-paced, but through other parts, I felt like I was dragging or it was dragging for me. It's a different story about this girl on a spaceship taking herself and some whales that are the last of the species to save them and transfer them to a new planet. Then she also has a secret mission/secret identity and as things go along, we find out more about that and the whales. Kim/Hannah and the whales are connected by a neural link to communicate since she is their caretaker while on this ship and we find that not all the whales like her, in fact, a few have a deep hatred/strong dislike of her and a few love her. I don't know what to say or how to say much about this story without maybe giving away too much, but it's a definite head trip. It's a decent read, but not my favorite and maybe a bit too weird for me. If you're into sci-fi, space, whales, and such, then you might like it if you try it, but it wasn't as much for me. Thank you netgalley for letting me review this book. This is not a genre I read a lot from. What would you do if you were in charge of returning some whales to another destination, but there may be a ploy to stop you from accomplishing that goal. I really enjoyed the storyline of this book. Being able to communicate with whales and understand them would be fun. #netgalley #undertheheavens Under the Heavens By Ruth Fox If you only read one book this year and you only read feel-good books, this one is for you! A young gal, with lots of secrets, is escorting various types of whales to a new world to save them from extinction. This batch has human DNA in them and fitted with a link in their brain whereas they can communicate with their caretaker, the girl named Kim. Kim also has the implant. Once the whales get to the world, the goal is after multiple breeding seasons, the human DNA will be diluted until gone. That's the plan. Kim is alone, except a bossy computer and helpful droids, but she swears she sees someone else. She also notices a few things different. Someone is walking around in her ship! Now the fun begins! Who, why, and how? None of this goes well with her secrets! It's a fascinating story with tension, dread, action, love for the whales (especially certain ones! ), and doing what is right! A feel-good book with a happy ending for the whales! I really loved this book!!! I do like reading sci fi books. As someone who is into technology, these types of books spark my interest. Thus, the reason I wanted to check out this book. Which I do have to say that I did like it but wished that I loved it more. Although, I knew that Kim had a different persona with Hannah, I was still a bit thrown off balance in the beginning with the change in names. Luckily, when Hannah was talking, the font was written in different text so you could delineate between the two personas. The story did seem to start out slowly but did pick up steam in the latter half of the story. I could see the story playing out in my head. Overall, I would give this author another chance. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Even the darkest secrets will come to light. Bubbly social media star Hannah Monksman is captaining Seiiki and carrying the last of Earth's whales to a new paradise planet. Viewers have been following Hannah's journey, but what they don't know is her true identity--Kim Teng who won her role as Caretaker with the help of underground operatives known as the Crusaders. Kim forms a close bond with the whales in her care, and their mental Link allows conversation on the lonely spaceship. But when one of the whales, Adonai, begins acting strange, Kim begins to suspect that she is a pawn in a secret mission meant to ensure the whales never reach their destination. Or it may just be the isolation getting to her. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

I probably won't go on with this series, but if Fox turns to writing adult work, especially if it involves climate or marine concerns in either fashion, I'll certainly be anxious to try it. ( )
