Synopsis:

A physicist and her historic loving partner try to figure out why a village was abandoned and never repopulated.
Then we get the history part, about the village of Eifelheim and the aliens that pretty much crash land there.

My Thoughts:

I honestly don't know why this book came across my radar. That is the problem with having a long TBR list.

Anyway, I found this very meh. Lots of the historical story about the aliens trying to survive in a medieval village and the local priest trying to figure it all out.

Then you had the modern story  about the man and woman who, in the process of figuring out the mystery of Eifelheim end up figuring out interdimensional space travel.

I guess this was originally a short story and to be honest, it should have stayed a short story. Sometimes authors shouldn't mess with their past.
