About the Author
Omara Williams is an acclaimed writer of science-fiction romance whose debut novel ‘The Space Traveller’s Lover‘ is a 2023 Global Book, BookFest and Outstanding Creator Awards winner.
Since a very young age, Author Omara Williams has had a passion for science and technology, reading and writing.
She would spend hours each day imagining characters and situations and then write for hours. She would find inspiration in everything around her when writing stories, even the shapes of clouds or constellations in the night sky.
At 17, she completed their first handwritten book, a collection of children’s stories that her friends and family enjoyed. However, she had many other interests and hobbies, so she did not see writing as something she should pursue and instead viewed it as a pastime. She focused her efforts on her university degree, her passion for software programming, and her astronomy projects. Writing became something she did occasionally and nothing more. Years after that first book, she wondered, “What If..?” so she started to get back into writing while working full-time.
Omara Williams holds a BSc Honours degree in Nuclear Engineering from Havana University and several Information Technology diplomas from Leeds University, and she is currently a multi-award-winning software manager and science-fiction author.
When she is not working, she enjoys watching the night sky, investigating ancient alien theories, and chasing total solar eclipses.
Omara lives with her husband and daughter in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
My thoughts
This is my first foray into romantic science fiction. I am a fan of science fiction such as Dune which has the tinge of romance. This was very different as it seems to focus more on the characters and their feelings.
When reading the blurb you would think very high action with romance added in. However I was pleasantly surprised that it was more of the slow build up which is very different than what I expected. It has made the book better for me since they don’t just jump in but slowly introduce you to characters.
It is a confusing book and Sam and Erin to me are only placeholder characters. It just doesn’t really seem to push the characters forward and it does show that there is something mysterious. I just don’t understand yet as I don’t get a science feel.
I am enjoying the story very much and I think it is more about getting to the action or the meat of the story. Slow burns aren’t always the best for a style of fiction that is largely based on science. Many of the science fiction books that I have read in the past get quickly to the action. This is a nice change.
The premise is just amazing and I do think that the less science style made this even better. When you get further into this book you see Erin again and she is so different and she makes the book. She is my favourite character and she makes you want to understand the alien way of life and her now mysterious abilities afforded to her by Science.
I enjoy the fact that Erin doesn’t show the same humanity that one would expect. She doesn’t seem to have the capability of love at least not in the same way that we think of it.
