Starflight by Melissa Landers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have been dying to read this book since last September. After having read two out of the three books in the Starbound series, I began searching for other stories of the same genre to get my fix of galactic travel, adventure and romance. I was not disappointed with Starflight.
I liked the main character tremendously, rough around the edges, fighting to survive and make a life for herself. Logical, but with heart and a knack for machines, she was a joy to get to know. The secondary characters added great depth to a story that takes the reader across the universe.
The plot was straightforward, but with many obstacles the characters had to face and overcome. Halfway through the book I knew I would love to read a second installment of this story.
The writing was effortless and helped move this very eventful story along at a constant and good pace.
Overall, this was a very good read, although sometimes so much happens that it was getting difficult for me to remember everything. I would have loved to read a sequel to the story of Solara and Doran. I recommend it to anyone, who enjoys YA fantasy with a hint of romance set in space.
