Wow. Right from the sight of this book, I was hooked. The hardcover is amazingly well-crafted with a fun sleeve to put it over it (I love it either way). And, without reading a word, just taking a sneak peek at the pages, I knew that I would love how this story was put together. I did! Every last single letter in every word on every page!

I wanted to put some time between my finishing this book and writing a review for it to gain some perspective. I wanted to write something other than, OMG, OMG, OMG! But I'm sorry friends, I just don't think I'll be able to achieve that distance. Two weeks later and I just want to reread this book a million times until the sequel. This is just what I wanted from a book (YA or otherwise)!

It reminded me of some of my favorite stories: a little bit of Firefly (& Serenity--thank you Joss Whedon) and a bit of Rick Yancey's Fifth Wave trilogy. This a fierce battle for survival with many players and lots of devastating twists and turns along the way. Here's what it boils down to:

Kady and Ezra are in the middle of another fight, possibly their last fight when a battleship opens fire on their small mining planet. Kady and Ezra have to figure a way to get to safety, hopefully with their families, before their entire planet is eradicated. Part of the population manages to get safely off the planet but not without the battleship trailing behind them. Now, they must find a way to get to safety without dying of starvation, a terrible plague, or at the hands off the battleship hellbent on destroying them!

Crazy, right? Terrifying, nerve-wracking, and over-the-top intense, this story will have you sitting on the edge of your seat the whole ride trying to figure out what comes next!

This story has an amazing voice, told from several perspectives and in several mediums. The two main characters are badass but at the same time, emotionally vulnerable and clinging to each other as the last remnants of their broken world. Even the AI comes off as less robotic and as a kind of misunderstood entity... strange as that seems.

I cannot sing the praises of this book enough... but I'll stop here and just anxiously await the next one!

Great story, well-written and fun to read.  I picked this up after reading the two available Big Sigma books by the same author.  I'm a big Joss Whedon fan, and I'd describe this book as Firefly meets steampunk.  Can't wait to check out some of his other offerings!

hotL#NiQ -The Firefly Diary- (also known as Hotaru no Nikki) is an incredible puzzle platformer that really bends your mind while trying to overcome insanely difficult obstacles. You follow a girl, Mion, and her firefly companions through a dark, post-apocalyptic world filled perilous trials that even the most hardcore gamer will sweat. From the art style, to the character designs and music -- #hotL#NiQ has it all. This is one of the most beautiful, yet atmospherically dark games that I've ever played. Very reminiscent of Playdead's game, LIMBO.

The Limited Edition came with a beautiful OST and art book, all packed inside a gorgeous box. I am really glad I forked over the extra cash to get the physical copy of such an amazing game. Worth every penny.

((Also, the game came on time and in great condition from my seller.))

Although Firefly Island isn't the first in the series, I read it without having knowledge of the other books and didn't even miss them.  Although now I think I might need to go back and catch up!  If you like conspiracy theories, high-profile government issues that run under the radar, or just a good read, pick up Firefly Island.  You can thank me later, after you hole up in your house for two days reading it!

I received a copy of this book to review.  These opinions are 100% mine.  You can read my full review at savingsinseconds .com

This is a thing of beauty! You can tell a lot of time and planning went into it being a great gift for the "hardcore" Gravity Falls fan. I am really happy with the quality and attention to detail. All the blacklight pages look great, and the magnifying glass is actual glass -- not some cheap plastic insert. The ciphers in the blacklight are great and easy to make out for the most part. So sad this show is done, but very happy to have the Journal in my collection!

#1- Summer of Firefly Memories. Great Book!! Definitely read these books in order! First of all, your characters are amazing- incredible... So believable & likeable. Secondly, there are SO many individual stories concealed within each book which makes it even more interesting.... It's like getting 4 or 5 little novellas wrapped inside each one. Yes, there's heartbreak & emotional drama just like real life, but you have conveniently provided a hero/heroine there each time to help pick up the pieces... There are so many happy emotions, as well as lots humor too.... I have sent email's to many of our friends recommending your Loon Lake series.  I just loved them both & am anxiously awaiting #3.

My daughter loves to point out all the different things her favorite fireflies are up to on each page :) It's a hidden pictures book as well for her! Bonus :)

I am a self-confessed 'dragonfly nut'. Got 'em everywhere, inside and outside the house. Well... I can always use more. So anyhoo there was a blank wall in the stairwell of our finished basement... mint green color, but it lacked any personality. Enter my search here on Amazon and up popped these dragonflies. The brushed nickel finish exactly matches the lighting and switchplates we have installed; and they are high quality... no fear of them breaking. Yes they are plastic, but they have to be, in order to be lightweight. The beautiful thing is, even if you mess up with your display (such as, if you space them too far apart or something), you just pull the pin out of the wall and put it in where you want it. VERY tiny hole - the size of a tack? Easy to hammer in, too. To touch up that mint paint I just used a q-tip, very easy. Also the packaging was very very nice; the dragonflies are grouped in 4's - one of each size (large, medium, small, and tiny). You can group them however you want once you get them unwrapped though. I bought two sets of these dragonflies because as I said I am obsessed with them... the other set I plan on using around the house, grouping 2 or 3 of the dragonflies together in little wall-groupings. Also another nice note: the sets include extra hardware - the little tacks, the little black bumpers that go onto the tacks - for good reason - they are very tiny, and for those of us who have clumsy hands and drop things (especially on a stairwell... bouncy bouncy away!), the extras were nice to have just in case one of the many pins I dropped went the way of the socks in our household and disappeared forever. I think this would make an awesome gift for someone who likes dragonflies, or even is looking for a unique and easy-to-set-up wall decor, and the brushed nickel perfectly matches the real nickel items the dragonflies are right next to! Amazon shipped them very fast; I received them two days after placing my order. They're even guy-friendly... my hubby said, "that looks really cool" when he came home to see we have dragonflies flying up our stairwell wall. =-)

If you are into soundtracks and the Firefly series, you will love this CD.  The music complemented the series so well and really translated what was going on in the script.  Good composition as well as execution.  Just wonderful.  Some of my favorites are River's Dance, the series theme (love the lyrics) and the Reavers music.  I especially thought that the reavers music was similar to what I have reacted (what was going on in my head) when I felt in trouble or threatened.  All I can say is thank you to Joss Whedon and Greg Edmondson and all that worked on this.

I also just finished reading Firefly Lane. Kristin Hannah is a keeper. Amazing work!

Beautiful!  Fairy lights is the perfect description. They look like fireflies. I put them in a ball jar and will hang it outside as lighting on my patio. The packaging was nice, the lights are of high quality and simple to use and once you turn them on you won't be disappointed.

I enjoyed the quality of the writing. Easy to see why it's so popular. Definitely fills the empty space in my heart that Firefly has left.

For all the Firefly and Joss Wheldon fans, this is a must have to complete your series. Nathan Fallon was wonderful in the Firefly movies!

Great sequel to Firefly Lane! Answered a lot of questions I thought about during the first book and brought a lot of relationships to a head. It was amazing and beautiful! Yes, it was a bit depressing and deep but K. Hannah is not a fluff writer and she evokes emotion and thoughtful moments and real life situations. Definite read!!!!

I started watching this on WE after I fell for Nathan Fillion on Firefly.  I was hooked from the first minute.  I taped all the episodes on VHS but I would LOVE to get a full DVD set.  Ryan Reynolds is awesome and the whole cast is a blast.  Too many favorite scenes to mention but someone already hit the highlights in their review.  Base on Ryan Reynolds and Nathon Fillions well deserved fame, someone should really get on the ball and get this produced.  Give the fans what we have been impatiently waiting for already!!!

Some of it reminds me of the Firefly TV series, and some the ARM stories of Larry Niven.  Read it voraciously in two days.  Look forward to sequels!
