My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Simons’ first set of series of Antipodes was absolutely amazing and when I heard about this new series that derived from Antipodes, I was very much eager to get the reading going. The 45th Parallel brought in different themes from the Antipodes series, which I fell in love with as well. Once this latest book came out, I wanted to know where the next adventure would take in this new series! If you are a fan of romance, dystopian, adventures, challenges, paranormal, etc., you will definitely enjoy this story as well.
This story focuses on Caitlin and her husband, Gio, as they become ambassadors for the ACC and end up in Canada on their assignment. Although Caitlin demonstrates natural leadership qualities, they struggle to find their place in this new location. The struggles of all these new roles of wife and leader test the limits of the newly married couple along with adding the element of unexpected old enemies reemerging. Such a good story and so many details. Make sure to read previous books as it will give you a deeper appreciation for what to expect in this story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Latitude series. I do definately recommend reading these books in order and if you can start from the Antipodes series as the books all follow on.
This author’s work is always enjoyable to read. The author’s attention to detail means that the reader is captivated by the story and the characters.
We are back in this story following Caitlin and Gio as they learn to find their way in life. Following their hearts they get married but that is the first step in them navigating their journey into adulthood. I did feel sorry for Caitlin in parts. As much as she loves Gio I felt like she has so much pressure placed on her shoulders all at once, from becoming a wife and mother to starting a Ambassadorship. Gio tries to help and support her but wanting to remain a strong independent woman his help isn’t always welcome. This puts strain on their young marriage and with the added dangerous of old enemies reappearing you are left wondering if their relationship could survive. One things for sure Caitlin will fight and stop at nothing to protect what she wants and who she loves.

This is a sci-fi adventure which has twists and turns as well as lies, betrayals and tragedy waiting just around the corner this book will certainly keep you gripped.

The second book in The Latitude series, Orenda follows Caitlin and Gio as they continue to bring together the community and face unexpected obstacles and tough challenges.
I fell in love with this world from the very beginning in The Antipodes series. The author draws you into a world that is reflective of our own and makes the reader vested in each outcome. Immersive, creative and unpredictable this whole series is amazing. Eagerly awaiting the next book. Highly recommend.

Orenda is the second book in The Latitude series by T.S. Simons. This story/series is an extension of the Antipodes series, and is quite an intriguing read.
As with the rest of the series, this is a dystopian, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi story with action, adventure, romance, challenges, danger, drama, tension, suspense, surprising developments, mystery, emotion, family, friendship, community, betrayal, tragedy, revenge, and more.
As expected, Ms. Simons once again put her characters to the test. Caitlin and Geo take us along on their adventures as they work towards community harmony- but things aren’t going to be smooth sailing- especially when they get bind-sided by an old enemy putting them, and everything they’ve worked so hard for, at risk.
Looking forward to seeing what the next book has in store for us!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, T.S. Simons!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Latitude series, which in turn is a follow-on series to the Antipodes series. Following on from the first book, this follows Caitlin and Gio. I would highly recommend reading the book prior to this one at the very least before starting this one.
Once again this was a well written story, flowing nicely an creating an intriguing world to step into. The complex characters are also well-written, they are developed well and draw you into their lives to the point you need to know what will happen to them next. The author has a great ability to suck you in and making you emotionally invested before you even realise it.
I enjoyed the developments in the story, the resurfacing of characters and dangers and seeing how as the characters change and develop, so do the solutions and thought processes. The events were made to feel believable and through provoking at times. It, along with the rest of the series is sure to be one that stays with me and I look forward to where we are taken next.

4.5 stars
Orenda is the second book in The Latitude series. It is the sequel to The 45th Parallel which is an extension on the Antipodes series. It is a Sci Fi story with supernatural elements.
The principals and beliefs behind Orenda are thought provoking and something that many have theorised and adhered to past and present, for eons and will live on eons in the future. I was intrigued and interesting to see T.S. associate it to this series.
Tanya clever writing draws you in and makes you invested in what happens with the characters their hopes, their dreams, their struggles. Expect the unexpected when reading her books but that makes it even more intriguing. There is always something new and exciting that comes to light.
It is an even bigger journey that could have long standing effects for everyone. Emotions run high as old enemies resurface and everything is in peril, and Caitlin must fight for what they love most.
I can’t wait to see what comes next.

This book is a fantastic follow up to the first in the series and I found it pulled me in from the moment I started reading. I would certainly recommend reading the first book in the series before this one so you can enjoy it as much as possible. I loved getting back into these characters and their journey. It was lovely to see how it developed even further as this book went on.
This author has an incredible way of creating a story that is lasting and interesting. The books are imaginative and are ones that I always seem to enjoy. This book is just as good as the first and I am looking forward to seeing where else this series might go.

This was my first time reading this author and I was not disappointed. She has an amazing talent. She builds worlds that you want to get lost in, and the attention to detail is top notch. I feel like I may have taken more away from the story had I read the 1st book, as this is the 2nd in the series, but I was able to follow the story pretty well. If you like dystopian romances, I absolutely recommend this author.

Living in the alpine region of Australia, she believes in the values of integrity, sustainability, and community in a world where we place greater value on possessions than people. She enjoys posing philosophical questions that make readers think and reflect on the world we live in.

The Antipodes series addresses the question—if we gave young people the opportunity to start over, would they replicate the mistakes of the past? The follow-up series, The Latitude series, examines life in different societal models and considers what could happen if science is allowed to determine the human condition.

She holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, post-graduate qualifications in governance and management, and is an accredited company director.

Tanya is an Australia Reads Ambassador and enjoys reading, traveling, mythology, and snow skiing while attempting to live sustainably with her partner and children. They are owned by a standard schnauzer, a fox-red labrador, and three rescue cats who co-manage their household.

The five-book Antipodes series comprises Project Hemisphere, The Space Between, Infinity, Circle of Protection, and Sessrumnir.

The Latitude series comprises The 45th Parallel, Orenda, and Bifrost. She is working on the fourth book in this series, Triple Helix, and a prequel to Project Hemisphere – Crossroads.
