About the Book Crystal Witness
Book: Crystal Witness
Author: Kathy Tyers
Genre: Christian fiction, science fiction, futuristic
Release Date: June 16, 2020
Her memories are blocked. And her freedom is gone. Her crime is a mystery.
When Ming Dalamani awakens from twenty years of suspended animation, she recalls only fragments of her former life: the life she led before she was arrested by the governing interplanetary corporation, Renasco, for a now unremembered crime.
Relocated to an alien world far from the only home she has ever known, Ming serves a powerful Renasco representative to repay her debt. But daily she lives with deadly threats from two men—the hideous mutant Zardir Huekk and the handsome, secretive musician Tieg Innig—who both want the same thing: information. Renasco-trained as a calligrapher in three dimensions, Ming begins to remember more: a clan, a mission, and interstellar piracy.
Ming must decide where her loyalties lie: with her powerful new employer, with a budding resistance movement… or elsewhere.

My Thoughts on Crystal Witness:
This is the third book in a series that has been remade and remoulded into a new creation. It is a sci-fi book and takes place in different worlds than we live in.
I have to admit that it took me a bit to get into this novel. I’m not a huge fan of this genre and sometimes it takes me longer to get into the characters and have them seep into me and make me want to be invested in them.
Ming has no memories really. They left her very few and so she doesn’t know much about who she is or what she was. I can’t even imagine being frozen for twenty years and then being awakened and not even remembering who you are. They send her to a new planet as well.
I loved the creativity though that came with this novel. Ming is a special type of calligrapher. She is a 3-D calligrapher. This was really neat and I loved the description that went with it.
I’m not sure if the book would make more sense if you read the previous books in the series or not, but I didn’t have a hard time following it because I felt I was missing information. I just had a hard time following it because it didn’t grab me and drag me in like most books do. The author did a wonderful job writing but I personally just am not a fan of this genre.
If you love sci-fi I think you will love this book though and the whole series. The author really does have a way with words and a way of describing the characters that I appreciated.

Thank you for the review. It’s nice to know that there is Christian Sci-Fi.

I’ve been discovering it’s actually a large genre.
