A review by davebushe
The City Among the Stars by Margaret Schiff, Judith Sullivan, Francis Carsac
2.0
I am very glad that I knew this is a translated publiaction of an older novel. It let me stick with it.
There's no flow, the words feel staid and perhaps even machine translated. The story itself is .. well an old story and bring with it a lot of baggage.
I think it's generally it's a good thing to get classic works translated so that they can be recognised or shared with the world but in this case, it just didn't work.
I very much suggest this is published without the slick apperence of a modern piece of sci-fi, otherwise readers will be very disapointed!
