Chronicle Toward Books Hello Summer, Goodbye (Pallahaxi #1)

It was an alien planet - yet not too alien from Earth. It had its differences; its ice goblins, its curious furry lorrin, its thickening water, and its unearthly tides, but for a young man like Alika-Drove thinking of a vacation by the sea these oddities were the norm.

But this vacation was different. Rax was coming into the ascendant and Rax, that cold second sun, was the equivalent of evil, of Satan and of Hell. And as its time drew near everything began to get warped and sinister...until for Alika-Drove it would be either the harsh brutal end of his innocence or the end of his world forever.

It is beyond a young adult book (with a brilliantly thought-out underlying plot, great planet specific peculiarities and wonderful characters) but the honesty and sense of wonder related to a very eventful summer holiday is the ,unexpected, high point of the book. Coney writes with great pace and even though his descriptions are, maybe intentionally, ambigious

To be honest, I never heard of the author until I read about him in a Best-Ever-SF-List. 'Hello Summer, Goodbye' is considered to be his most succesfull work and after reading the novel, I cannot do otherwise but praise the book. The work is no classic SF and more soft than hard SF, describing a world which is quite similar to our earth, with a stage of development that makes the book - technically speaking - one of the first steampunk novels. The author was also clearly influenced by the cold

Coneys Hello Summer, Goodbye (variant title: Rax) (1975) often considered a minor classic of the genre is a lyrical paean to young love arrayed against a backdrop of a world filled with increasingly sinister undercurrents, unusual (and fantastic) fauna and flora, and characters we connect with in deeply emotional ways.

Interesting idea, unexpected ending. maybe the experience of reading would be better if i were a teenager :)
