Martine is a genetically cloned replica made from Evelyn Caldwell’s award-winning research. She’s patient and gentle and obedient. She’s everything Evelyn swore she’d never be. And she’s having an affair with Evelyn’s husband. Now, the cheating bastard is dead, and both Caldwell wives have a mess to clean up. Good thing Evelyn Caldwell is used to getting her hands dirty.

flaws overwhelm good premise
Évalué le: 2022-09-26
An original and fascinating premise is overshadowed by its flaws.
A book on cloning humans feels hollow and lazy if it doesn't do reasonable justice to ethics. This book falls flat on both the discussion and addressing of ethics and application to character growth. In addition, the book gets incredibly technical about certain lab processes and then is sparse on some details when it comes to plot and plausibility.has potential to be adapted into a compelling miniseries if someone more experienced can adapt the premise into a smoother and more well-rounded story.
There's also a puzzling lack of redemption for the main character. it feels awkward and clunky how it ends without her really acknowledging her flaws in a meaningful way to make change. it more seems like she's forced into a better place through circumstance.

After a morning hunt takes a sinister turn, Quentin and his old friend Julia charter a magical sailing ship and set out on an errand to the wild outer reaches of their kingdom.

the first book felt so complete that I didn't know where this one was going to go. it's a great story and a great performance.

a great character driven family story

great character driven family story with real characters that were deeply flawed, extremely lovable and trying to do better.
