Somehow this became Black Widow in space (if Black Widow were in her 50s and didn't have as much physical prowess but DANG she kept her spy prowess) and I am here for it!

I feel like I need to say more, but I don't know what. it's just very good, deals with serious issues but is enjoyable all the same.

Well the polio parts sure hit different now. (Though I'm pretty sure the way everyone got infected is not possible).

My favourite of the Lady Astronaut series.  Loved reading more about Nicole, Eugene, Myrtle, and Helen. This locked room mystery set on the moon kept me wondering what would happen next.

Notes: told from Nicole’s perspective on the moon takes place at the same time as The Fated Sky - we see the fraught political landscape that we only saw glimpses and hints and consequences of during The Fated Sky. Earth Firsters are actively sabotaging the IAC and moon colony. Stick with Nicole as she ferrets out the saboteur(s) with Myrtle, Eugene, Hamid, and Helen. Relentless perfectly describes this books - one after another problems pop up - but at the same time it doesn’t feel overdone. An absolute rollercoaster emotions while set perfectly in the sexist and racist times of 1960s, expertly crafted AU. Excellent continuation of the Lady Astronaut novels!!

I was a little hesitant going in to The Relentless Moon because I love Elma and was nervous that I wouldn't enjoy a Lady Astronaut Universe book if it had a different main character. Thankfully Kowal's writing was excellent as always so I quickly grew to love Nicole.

The Relentless Moon really had it all -- a high-stakes mystery, espionage, politics, and lots of mishaps in space. It made me beyond happy to see more of Myrtle, Eugene, and Helen as I'd really missed them in The Fated Sky. The Lady Astronaut Universe continues to get more fascinating as the political impacts of life after the meteor deepen in each book.

Also, I have to add that The Relentless Moon made me sob when I least expected it. I'm not a big book crier so every time it happens, I have to tip my hat at the author.

The Lady Astronaut Universe books continue to delight me. Kowal's writing is impossible to put down, the characters are lovable, and the external conflicts are always fascinating. I'll gladly keep reading these books as long as Kowal wants to write them.
