Praise for Under Twin Suns:
“First, let me say that I can’t wait for the next book! That’s my highest compliment. As chapters progressed, I became increasingly interested in Ket’s character. You did a great job of developing her and her background. I will be curious to see where you are going with the Mending. I liked the story line and I really am excited to know that I’ll get to read the next book. Bad guys are bad enough – and appear to get their just rewards in most cases! I also liked the descriptions of the planet – nicely done and incorporated well into the story line.”
“I slowly got drawn into the book. The first chapter left me wanting to continue reading, just to find out what was going to happen. The chapters were a nice size so that I could read a few pages and finish a chapter. I enjoyed reading about the different people and their ways of life. The story line was very interesting as it kept me wondering what they were going to do next. I enjoyed reading the book and look forward to reading more about them.”
“I enjoyed the story. Although it’s written for a teen audience, I enjoyed the story. There was plenty of action and innovation.”
“I finished your book this week and really enjoyed it. I found Ket and Moene very interesting. I would like to have known more about them. The bad guys were bad enough! I found the story line very interesting. The places were fascinating and so creative!”
“I found myself able to identify with Ket. Even though the novel is science-fiction, the emotions and situations the main character finds herself in are very human. She must decide whom to trust and she must the face demons lurking in her past. The descriptions are vivid and beautiful; they placed me firmly on the foreign planet of Firone. All in all, it was an enjoyable read.”
“Under Twin Suns is an interesting adventure into a futuristic world where some people have Gifts (think almost X-Men style). The main character is a teenage girl, alone in a large, scary world. The writing itself is polished and a joy to read, while the characters leave you wanting to know more about them, what motivates them, and the world they live in. I think just enough was explained to follow the story, but there was no unnecessary exposition. It was a quick read for me.”
“I loved the book. The story has a strong female character that I hope Ms. Koenig uses in other books/sequels.”
