I’m not a huge fan of sci-fi but WOW! This story had me on the edge of my seat. A strong, bad ass female protagonist, and antagonist that will do anything to get the throne. The story made me laugh, made me mad, made me cry. I cannot wait to see what happens in the sequel! (

I loved this space opera with a smart, loyal protagonist. What a blend of many of my favorite elements here: adventure, a hero quest, a touch of romance, zipping around in space, and themes honoring friendship and self-reflection. Alyssa is bisexual, and that is presented so matter-of-factly, rather than as a plot point. YAY! I also really appreciate her as a hero girl who is much more intricate than the loners we see so often (Rey, Katniss, etc). She wants to be part of a team and she wants more going on in her life than the quest. I can't wait to read book 2. The audio producation is fantastic!

Fantastic, rip-roaring space adventure. Wonderfully compelling characters and a fast paced plot had me on the edge of my seat — until the inevitable, terrible realization that this is the first in a series. Crushing! I wasn’t ready for it to end, but it certainly left on a high note.

Fun fun fun! An intergalactic romp with obstacles and intrigue and stakes. (

It’s a fun YA adventure book about a space race. The characters are interesting, but the plot follows a path deeply tread by The Hunger Games. I wouldn’t call it “Katniss in Space”, but it has the same themes of adventure, reluctant heroes, clear lines between friends and enemies, and mass media attention.

It ends on a cliffhanger, and I can’t tell if I care enough to continue. The book just doesn’t seem like it takes itself that importantly, like these are the most important stories in these people’s lives. (
