Next I started The Not Yet by Moira Crone. I thought I'd give this independently published author a try after a computer generated recommendation and using Kobo's 90% promo code. Unfortunately, I abandoned this book after 50 pages. There wasn't anything that held my interest. The sci-fi elements were minimal. Also, the author switches between three time periods in the main character's life. It's a mechanism I greatly dislike. Her writing skill was adequate, though. The author mainly publishes short stories so perhaps that is where her strength lies.
Now I'm reading Dark Eden by Chris Beckett, a British social worker and lecturer. Independently published in the UK and Kobo promo code eligible. I'm only 20 pages in but it does have potential.
