Under Different Stars by Amy A. Bartol
My rating: 4 of 5 stars Isn't the cover gorgeous? It's really what drew me to picking up this book. I've been trying to branch out from my usual genres, and I've also been wanting to read more science fiction. Under Different Stars fit the bill. Its a YA science fiction romance novel but really heavy on the romance. The book starts off great and I was immediately engrossed with the story. I really like main character Kricket. I liked her sass and attitude. I also felt for her situation of growing up as an orphan and just trying to get by in life. My biggest issue with the book is that as a feminist I was a tad disappointed that the advance world of Ethar was so backwards in their way of thinking of women. It was basically Kricket left earth and went into medieval times. Everybody wanted to consort (marry) her but without her permission. WTF? At least Kricket kept her wit cause if she didn't it would have been over for me. Overall, I liked the story and do plan on reading the next book in the series. I just felt this was a 3 1/2 platypire/stars book for me. View all my reviews |

This year I'm planning on rereading some of my favorite books. I'm glad I started with one of my favorite authors. This book is still really good. This time I listen to the audio book instead of actually reading the book. My only complai...

I want to first start off that I got to meet the author at Houston author bash earlier this year. I was immediately drawn to the cover of this book. I just think it's a beautiful cover. This was the only physical book that I bought at t...
