An Exciting Galaxy with an Interesting History

A review of Our Dark Stars by Audrey Gray and Krystal Wade (2018: Blaze Publishing)

What a fun and interesting read. Very sci-fi, somewhat YA, but fascinating. A vast human ruled dynasty is about to go down to the enemy in revolt, who are not human. One member of the ruling family escapes but is missing for one hundred years. When she reappears everything has changed and the galaxy is confusing. The roles of humans and non-humans have been reversed. So, one group still represses and enslave the other, predictably. Can Talia live to give the human rebels hope? Read and see.

Only one plot turn seemed implausible to me, or perhaps just not smooth enough. But it's all pretty exciting, with plenty of new things to learn about all the primary characters, and, of course, space ships, and fights of all sorts.  Just the kind of science fiction I enjoy.

Adults and young adults who like science fiction will enjoy this book.

I received a free pre-publication electronic copy of this book from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

4/5 stars
