In Arcadia
In Arcadia | Andrea K Höst
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
One does not simply walk onto another planet. At least not without the help of a daughter who has developed unlikely powers, fought an intra-dimensional war, and then arranged for a family relocation to a futuristic clone of Earth. Laura Devlin would gladly have paid any price to have her daughter back, so living in a techno-paradise with spaceship views is merely an added bonus. And a dream come true. But Arcadian paradises do not come without complications. Laura's include a plethora of psychic grandchildren. Interplanetary diplomacy. Her daughter's immense fame. And KOTIS, the military watchdog that seems to consider Laura's entire family government property. Forewarned by her daughter's experiences, Laura had anticipated as many problems as she could, and didn't doubt her ability to cope with the rest. But she had not planned on Gidds Selkie, a military officer 'chipped from flint' and not at all the sort of man lifelong geek Laura had ever imagined would find her interesting. Burned in the past, Laura is surprised to find herself tempted. Is this a new start to go with a new world? Or a mismatch doomed to failure?

ā€œThey look like they're dancing on knivesā€œ -- this figure skating fan approves of this description.

This wasn't my fave of the series, but if you read books 1-4 and enjoyed book 4/epilogue, you'll probably want to continue onto this one (book 5). Note, this one is from Laura's POV, not Cassandra's.

I will happily read any story set in the world of the Touchstone Trilogy because that series is of my favorites. In Arcadia can be read as a standalone but has inevitable spoilers for the trilogy. I also think you would be able to appreciate this more if you read the trilogy first. I liked seeing Laura's POV and learning more about Sue, Julian and Tsur Selkie. And of course, loved the glimpses of Cass, Kaoren and everyone else.šŸ’– #bookandcoffee

The Touchstone Trilogy is one of my all time favorite books (bookish heroine from Australia who gets transported to another planet, filled with space ninjas fighting evil) and Andrea K. Hƶst stealth published a new book in the series!šŸ’– The description says it can be read as a standalone but it's set a few years after the trilogy so it would have inevitable spoilers. So excited to read this!
