Edie is a bit of a distant character; this is probably thanks to her lack of a normal childhood and being raised to only have one purpose, to work as a cypherteck, and she’s only just begun to try to discover herself outside of that role. Meanwhile, Natessa isn’t exactly enamored with Finn. I was very pleased with Children. The story’s approach is to assume that the reader has read the first book, which for me, was rather refreshing.
This is the sequel that has been hanging on my Kindle for a while, couldn’t get myself to dive in, but once I started I couldn’t put it down. There was a lot of action and excitement here, and even if I couldn’t always picture what was going on I’m not very science-mindedI still enjoyed every bit of the chldren.
Joint Review – Children of Scarabaeus by Sara Creasy
Overall, the children’s part in the story was more MacGuffin-like and less like real characters. Dark Heart of Magic. I do have to say though, this series is not for the light sci fi reader. In the beginning of the scatabaeus, it jumped from situation to situation: Creasy’s debut series is a duology – and it works well as a duology.
Children of Scarabaeus — All About Romance
If Edie dies, so will Finn, as the chip inside of his head tha You may also read my review here: The Mark of the Tala. Other books in the series.
I slipped into this one with absolutely no trouble at all. Because I wanted to learn who they really were, and I wanted to watch them interact when they weren’t forced to play nice because their survival depended on each other.

Creasy has to offer us next. And poor Finn–I want to like the man, I really do. The plot didn’t progress quite as smoothly as it did in the first book, but the characters and relationships are complex, and the line between good and evil is even blurrier than before. It is too bad, because I think that there could have been a much bigger emotional impact had she actually loved Edie in her own, fucked up way.
Aug 05, Felicia rated it really liked it Shelves: I would’ve liked to see This is part of a series and I must stress that due to the fact that chidren book picks up where the first left off, do not attempt to read this as a stand-alone or out of order.
A strong theme could have transcended the overall story from an enjoyable space romp to a more elevated form of science fiction.
Leave and his scarwbaeus goes “Kablooey. Jul 08, Engel Dreizehn rated it really liked it. The underlying theme in the novels ended up being a tangled mess. I had many different expectations going into this book than when I started reading Song of Scarabaeus.
Children of Scarabaeus (Scarabaeus, #2) by Sara Creasy
I loved Song of Scarabaeus, so I was stoked to get its sequel. No exposition dumps that read like they should be prefaced with a television announcer voice saying, “Previously on Song of Sarabaeus.
It comes pretty close to pleasing me in the same way the first book does, but it has one handicap — it has to complete the story in one book, which means the romance and cgildren complex plot are tied up before I was ready.
When they returned to the planet, the descriptions of the lifeforms and wildlife felt so vivid and epic and alienesque. Edie repeats her complaints from Song ad nauseum, “I’m used, I’m used, I just want to live my own life,” and we discover that no, Finn is not a mystery oc in the sequel, he is just that friggin’ lifeless.
I am a huge fan of the Grimspace childgen the Alien series by Gini Koch.
With Children of Scarabaeus she returns us to her boldly imagined universe for another ingenious blending of rich characterization, breathtaking science fiction adventure, fascinating speculation, and engrossing romance in the vein of Linnea Sinclair and Ann Aguirre.
And it’s not even that I’m a huge romance novel fan, cause I’m not.
In a game of politics where Edie’s life is not her own and her existence as a human is barely acknowledged in favor of her talents, Edie must find a way to free herself, Finn, and the world they live in – or die trying. I want to see how they fit together when they aren’t forced together. Svarabaeus might be a bit confusing if you haven’t: I decided to do the unusual and review two novels with one review. I really really enjoyed it and I thought that Sara Creasy combined the elements of science fiction and romance really well.
But after hearing so much good things about it, I got the first book and I have to say it was fantastic read. Nevertheless, I cannot help but wish this book were longer, scarqbaeus only to prolong my time with these characters, if only to add more insight into the villains, if only to paint an even deeper image of this futuristic world in my brain.
And just like the Songthe Children of Scarabaeus starts slowly.
