4.0 out of 5 stars Good Characterization & Character Dynamics, October 22, 2003
By 
Liz "lizurd6" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flare Star (Mass Market Paperback)
I like science fiction that has both good characterization and believable science; Ms. Downing (who also wrote under the name of Paula King) is very talented at character development and her science seems pretty solid (I'm not a physics expert though).

Ingram's editorial review omits the fact that the book isn't just about Jason Roarke, but also about how young Magda copes with senseless tragedy. Both characters grow up a little in this story, and it's very enjoyable suspense. The other characters in the book are pretty realistic, too -- not stereotypes, so you get some exposure to group dynamics, too.

My two favorites of Ms. Downing's are "A Whisper of Time" and "Fallway".
