Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Forgotten Suns
Judith Tarr · 2015
71/100
👍 Worth It
Judith Tarr builds an imaginative, lyrical space-fantasy world with a capable teen protagonist and a genuinely diverse cast — the Andre Norton DNA shows in the best way. Pacing is a real issue; reviewers consistently flag the book as overlong and loosely structured. Still, for YA-to-adult readers who love archaeological mystery blended with space opera, the world-building reward is there.
