Starfall (a Starflight Novel)
Starfall (a Starflight Novel) | Melissa Landers
27 posts | 22 read | 22 to read
When Princess Cassia Rose fled her home world of Eturia to escape an arranged marriage, she had no idea her sudden departure would spark a war. Now after two years hiding as a ship hand, she is finally returning to her beloved home but not in the way she imagined. Shackled by bounty hunters, she is violently dragged back to account for her crimes. Her only solace is that the Banshee crew managed to evade capture, including Kane Arric, her best friend...with occasional benefits.Meanwhile, Kane and the rest of the crew of the Banshee plan a desperate rescue mission. But when they arrive on Eturia, Cassia isn't exactly in need of heroics--she's claimed her birthright as Eturia's queen, but has inherited a war-torn planet simmering with rebellion. Cassia must make alliances, and Kane, the bastard son of a merchant, isn't a choice that will earn her any friends. Kane knows he will never find someone to replace Cassia--and is certain she returns his feelings--but how can he throw away his own promising future waiting on a queen? When the outer realm is threatened by the dangerous Zhang mafia, Cassia, Kane and the rest of the Banshee crew uncover a horrifying conspiracy that endangers the entire universe. In the face of unspeakable evil, Cassia must confront her own family's complicated legacy on Eturia and decide once and for all who her real family is.

Apparently I forgot to post that I read this one on here. It was good if I recall.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I enjoyed this followup to Starflight, but not as much as I hoped I would. I think it was due to the fact that we switch to following two side characters from the original novel and I just wasn‘t as invested in their story. Still a fun space adventure!

I also love that we are going to be matched with a partner to help keep a person motivated. Yeah. For my partner, I apologize ahead of time that I'm such a nerd. #sfftbrchallenge

Leniverse Some of these are difficult! A POV character dies? I wouldn‘t know that until I‘d read the book. 🤔 6y
LibrarianRyan @Leniverse I know. I love matching the title to something on the list somewhere when I'm done. 6y
Leniverse Wait, we're not supposed to fill in the whole list in advance? 6y

LibrarianRyan @Leniverse I have no idea. I didn't. I couldn't. That's just a sure fire way to know that I will not get it read. And I said that in my registration. I did May a possibility list in GR. And I might have filled in 5 titles but no more than that. 6y
LibrarianRyan @Leniverse plus there was that weird check mark place to say you have read them. I figured it was a doc you were going to be able to go in and edit at a later date but I have no idea. 6y
Leniverse Thanks. I was panicking a bit because I only heard of this today, and was wondering however I was going to get the whole form figured out this evening. 😂 @DuckOfDoom - Do you prefer us to fill in as many as possible in advance? Like, do you try to match up people who have many of the same books TBR, or can I chill? 6y
DuckOfDoom @Leniverse I made the list so that you could choose some titles in advance so the list is not blank and you have a starting point. You can totally chill, it's okay to fill the list as you go (and its intended that way). 6y
DuckOfDoom @LibrarianRyan Yes, that check mark thingie is for your progress, if you like to check in the form - I will make something better when the challenge starts, I realize now it's not very helpful 😅 next time I know better 6y
LibrarianRyan @DuckOfDoom it's your first time. It's all good! (edited) 6y
Leniverse @DuckOfDoom Excellent! I'll put in some titles then, the ones that have an obvious category they belong to, and leave the rest for later. 😊 6y

I can‘t decide how I feel about this book. On the one hand, the characters are pretty sassy and have relationships with depth, but on the other... WHAT IS WITH THAT PLOT TWIST. It was really original for a sci-fi novel, which I liked but also threw me for a loop. If you liked Empress of a Thousand Skies, then you‘d like this one!

WarpedSweetness Dorothy Must Die has been on my TBR for a while. 7y
MommyOfTwo @WarpedSweetness it was so good! I really want to read the next one but I‘m getting if for Christmas so I have a bit to wait yet. 7y
WarpedSweetness @MommyOfTwo I'm glad to hear it was good. I read a small sample from B&N and really liked it. 7y
WarpedSweetness That's a great Christmas present though! I couldn't wait that long. Lol 7y

Sad to say this, but this one was a disappointment 😔 The story was okay-ish for a while, and then I lost steam and wasn't as excited to come back to it, and then I finished it by skimming because the story took a weird turn. I also really disliked the way Cassia treated Kane, so the romance thread wasn't satisfying either. I loved the first one, so I was very ready to love this one too but just couldn't.

After seeing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 last night, I was in the mood for a fun space novel. I enjoyed the first one, so I'm expecting to like this follow-up too. Plus, it's a crazy gorgeous MN day and almost 80 degrees, which is pretty much a command to be outside!

Dragon What an idyllic view! Hopefully we'll see Guardians 2 tomorrow 😀 7y
raelaschoenherr @dragon It was a gorgeous day! Hope you enjoy the movie...we got had some good laughs :) 7y
Dragon Great to hear @raelaschoenherr looking forward to seeing it in IMAX today 🐉 7y

I love me some #booksaboutspace. Defy the stars is a digital galley that I'm in the middle of reading.

jpmcwisemorgan Ok, I think I answered my question to you. I figured if you had recommended it you had read it so my persistence had paid off. 8y
LibrarianRyan @jpmcwisemorgan I read Starflight, the rest are on my TBR. Reading Carnaval right now. 8y
