Are you prepared to lose yourself in a carefully crafted space opera for 800+ pages? In The Dark Side of Eternity, Juliette Faraday pairs her readers with Lisa, an historically oppressed woman who consistently overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds as she morphs into an impressive heroine. I was drawn into her world and found myself very much a part of the Sombarri community, and very much a part of her relationship with Kael.Faraday weaves a tale of empowerment, adventure, romance and pleasing sci-fi tech into a novel that is as expansive as it is intriguing. Her storytelling wholeheartedly embraces what it means to be human while simultaneously daring to explore that humanity in light of difficult, futuristic circumstances.The Dark Side of Eternity is a thoroughly engaging journey through time and space that will keep you turning pages and keep you guessing. I’m still wrapping my mind around the experience. I am hopeful that Lisa and I will meet again, in a future novel, but until then I will definitely be revisiting this story again.
