Vessel of Starfire by Allison Carr Waechter
5.0
The Outlaws of Interra series is criminally underrated. This first installment in the series follows Echo Rodrigal, her family and their crew know as the Vindicatta - a group of criminals dedicated to vengeance for the marginalized. We jump in as the Vindicatta are thrust into the mist of a brewing political conflict. Magical destinies are revealed and plans are made to stabilize the realms of Interra and save it from destruction.
Allison Carr Waechter is a master of building magical, gorgeous worlds that still feel grounded and lived-in. All of her characters are complex, interesting, unique and queer/allies. I loved how this book mixed NA fantasy, sci-fi and occult magic flawlessly together to make such an interesting story. Echo is so relatable as she struggles with her self-identity and mental heath. There is a romantic aspect to the story but it is not the focus and I LOVED how the action of the story did not begin after the main character met their love interest like so many other NA fantasies. Absolutely mind blowing novel, 5 big stars brimming with starfire!
