“I hope you are finding your own words out there in my sky.”

The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei

December 15, 2024 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Asuka was the last person chosen to join the crew for humanity’s last hope, eighty elite graduates of a competitive program who will give birth to a generation of children in deep space and one day reach a distant but livable planet. But when a bomb kills three of the crew, investigating it falls to Asuka. I’m trying to get more into science fiction lately, and between the creative world-building and the high-stakes mystery, this book was certainly a good addition to the roster. In […]

The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei

This was really good! So much better—and different—than the author’s first book. If you want a fun space opera with some adventure packed in, I have a book for you. Maya Hashimoto used to be the Robin Hood of art thieves–stealing from the rich and their museums, and giving back to the alien civilizations where they were stolen from.

“All authority is fiction.”

The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei

Thanks to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. This was an enjoyable mystery/sci-fi/thriller set in space. It doesn’t do anything new to the genre (really of either mystery or sci-fi) but it is a good example of both kinds of stories, and it has likable characters you want to root for. It’s also pretty queer! Only people who have uteruses are allowed on the mission to colonize another planet, because space/fuel limitations mean not that many […]

    I completely agree with that, and have even had thoughts of some kind of Romantasy homage fairy tale collection! But...

    This sounds amazing. I saw some discussion today about contemporary monster romance being the descendant of fairy tales.
