Just imagine for a moment that we could all enjoy such a beautiful habitat that provides us with all the resources we need! Unfortunately, there are some people who stand in the way of this wonderful possibility. These individuals have big ambitions and an addiction to meaningless big-manism. But we can overcome them!

What is noteworthy is the tendency to focus on past experiences in a world facing future challenges that can only be addressed collectively.

The increasing nationalism is a clear sign that humanity is ready to not learn from history! It's time to make sure we don't end up in the next catastrophe for humanity.

Please don't say you didn't know or see it – it was right in front of you and you're ready to make a change!

Book Review #8 of 2025--

The Moon the Sun Forgot by B.J. Wagner. Rating: 3.5 stars.

Read from January 30th to February 2nd.

Before I get into the bulk of the review, a quick thank you to both NetGalley and the publishers over at Mythic Roads Press for allowing me access to this ARC in exchange for an honest review. The Moon the Sun Forgot is a dual POV SciFi novel that follows Kassia McCullough, a mariner who lives off the ocean under the surface of Europa's icy shell, and Max Danzig, a detective from Earth. Their paths intersect as they both plot courses for revenge. Kassia hunts for Pretorious Grant, the man she holds responsible for her father's suicide, while Max has traveled the solar system to bring Pretorious Grant's half-brother Somerled Rhone to justice (and to get some personal justice of his own). The Moon the Sun Forgot comes out on March 3rd and is available for preorder now.

When I first started this ARC, I thought to myself, "Finally. Some good SciFi again." The world building at the beginning of this novel really hit it out of the park for me (though, it did fade later on). There's just something about SciFi where it strikes a cord when you see the intricacies of a world that's had to be adapted by humans and for humans. Seeing the different ways the ships are built and the maintenance required due to different conditions, seeing what's been adapted for human life, seeing how humans have adapted for space. It's what gives me so much love for the genre. The set up at the beginning was just so good. Also, who doesn't love a revenge story? I enjoyed our main characters Kassia and Max so much. Probably Kassia more than Max because she is so confident and sure of herself. But the character who could really steal the show for me was Alex, their onboard A.I. You can place your eye roll here. Hi, my name is Liberty and I love any sort of A.I./droid/bot (the murderous and non-murderous kinds). That's probably the first thing you should know upon meeting me. Alex was able to act as moments of levity in really dark moments or was able to bring our main characters back to reality when they were lost in fantasies of each other (or their revenge). Such a great character.

As I said before, the world building was lacking once we truly got into the story which made it all fade away for me. I wish I had felt more grounded in the world. All of the components were there to make this such an amazing story for me, but I felt like this one kept us at an arm's length. When the romance was introduced, I was genuinely surprised. Because I had no idea they felt romantic emotions for each other. So, despite being in both of our main characters' heads, I felt pretty separate from what they were thinking and feeling. It also felt like the fire of revenge didn't really burn in our characters. I could see that they definitely blamed those people for their roles in what happened in the past, but I never truly felt the anger, hatred, and passion that supposedly ruled these characters. There were also just moments when the romantic side of the story felt a little...off. It wasn't the right time or place, in my opinion. Or the descriptions were just so obviously written by a man for men. Which feels weird to say. I normally don't complain about sex scenes being written by a man or a woman due to gender. It's more of a general asexual who doesn't quite get what the hype is about or whatever normally. This time it just felt like the authorial voice was too present in the sex scenes. I didn't enjoy it.

Overall, this was a good SciFi novel (not great, but still good) and I'm ready as ever to read more SciFi. I think this is a good jumping off point for any reader looking to get into SciFi. I think both the romantic plot line and the humorous side characters can really bridge the gap for readers.

The world, or rather the societies of this world, are undergoing a shift to the right.

Why? Somehow easy to understand without considering the consequences and these will follow in inevitable ways and effects. But back to the simple, yes this world and by that I mean the world of man and his perception is too complicated, too complex with all its dependencies. There are all the facts, the science and the effects that cry out for change.

However, this is the inertia of knowledge and the comfort of everyone, why change when things are somehow not really bad.

You can maintain your status, can't you?

And that's exactly what the right-wing parties understand and somehow say that everything should stay as it is. Or best to bring out the concepts of the good old days. With the manslaughter argument (which ultimately says nothing) everything wasn't bad.

OFFER SIMPLY SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX PROBLEMS.

PLUS DIVIDE SOCIETY SOMEHOW SOMEONE HAS TO BE TO BLAME FOR THE MISERY.

Hate as an ideology

You really think that a strong hand can fix everything.

Because they just don't want to take responsibility for their lives. That means they would have to think and deal with all the real facts.

The consumer wants to consume and have a job so that he is well off. What do they care about others from whom they have been torn apart by all the propaganda.

All the others are to blame for the loss of prosperity, but not those who are at the top of the food chain in your country.

People who are so rich that you can't even imagine it. The rich and big companies will be fine with the right wing, they will come to terms with them as they have so often in history. Even benefit themselves.

The only problem is that when the spit is over and social development is in ruins, it really wasn't anyone again.

They will all have run away and confess, as so often in history: we didn't see this coming and if we had known, we would have decided differently.

Eat dust you hypocrites.
