Review of Being of the Field by Traci Harding

Being of the Field by Traci Harding

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


There are some authors whose next book you simply must read no matter what, because you enjoy their work and the way their minds work. Traci Harding is one of those authors. I've been a fan of her writing and her thinking for over a decade now (fourteen-ish years? Seriously? Wow!) and while sometimes a character makes me wonder if maybe they're not too perfect (and good at almost everything to boot!), it is the story that keeps me coming back for more with every book. Traci Harding takes her readers on an amazing adventure that I hope will continue through many more books, stories, characters, countries, worlds and universes.

I enjoyed getting to know Taren, Lucian, Zeven and the rest of the crew of AMIE. They were new characters yet felt like old friends - books two and three explained why that was, exactly. I actually squealed and couldn't stop smiling upon realising where these books were taking me. The ideas the author puts forth in her books really resonate with me and I do believe this trilogy will turn into go-to books for when I need a reminder about how magnificent our universe is and how amazing it is to be alive. Five out of five stars for all three of the books! I just wanted to keep on reading and reading and reading, hoping the adventure would never end.

Once I'm done re-reading the trilogy - later this year - I hope to add reviews for the individual books as reading them the first time 'round I simply *had to* keep reading to find out what would happen next - actually sitting down to think about what I wanted to write, well, even that would have taken too long . Reading this trilogy was an amazing adventure and I very much look forward to re-visiting Taren's world and learning more about the amazing life she and her companions lead.
