gingerblivet's review against another edition

My brain hurts, but, like, in a good way? 12/10 would do again. And probably already have, actually. I should check my journal to see, as soon as I find the damn thing.

This was a quick and easy read. I had high hopes for this book, but it just wasn’t love for me. There wasn’t a lot of depth to the story or characters. A lot of the book seemed a little flighty.

“Prologues don’t need a name, but I’ll call this one Steve” I was laughing at that from page 1 to page 447.
Starbound is book 5 in the Starstruck Saga by SE Anderson. This saga started off with a 5 star book, characters I loved with all of my heart, and jokes that cracked me up. With every single book in this saga I thought “it can’t get any better!” And it has. Every single book has gotten more funny, the characters more endearing. The action more immersive. The planets and aliens so creative so much fun and so unique.
5 stars.
Instead of writing a full review (cause I’m sure you know where I stand) I’m going to post my favorite quotes:
“And every single planet felt old, like I had been there before. While there was room for wonder, I always felt a vague sense of deja vu. Had I seen it all before?”
“Hey, the left-most rust spot did hear a striking resemblance to Scarlett Johansson”
“The only editors it had ever seen were a few hundred monkeys on typewriters who got really excited when they discovered the word “fart”.”
“Still unsure of what job he did, because future babble, but now without a job, he couldn’t get the medi-grains for his very sick gran, so everyone is sad.”

This didn’t quite do it for me, though not entirely sure why.

I received an advanced/review copy of this book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content and honesty of my review.
I fricken loved this book. It was one of the absolute best sci-fi/fantasy books I've read. There was some nice character development, the story flowed wonderfully, it was freaking hilarious and there was a smidge of romance that has me hoping the relationship develops as the series continues.
I highly recommend this book for fans of sci-fi and fantasy alike ... or if you're just looking for a good laugh!!
