Fans of teen sci-fi will eat up this book. Made of Stars is what would happen if Star Wars and Illuminae had a love child. There are bad empires, neglected planets, enemies to lovers romance, hackers, and lots of witticisms. Told in three parts, this teen novel bounces between several viewpoints. Cyrus graduated the flight academy with honors and feels so privileged to work with General Noth. Shane and Ava are outlaws, but outlaws like Robin Hood. They steal and they give back a little to their impoverished home planet and their families. When they realize that Opian's military leaders are hostilely invading and stealing all their home planet's resources they feel the need to let the other planets and system's know. If only they could get help from the inside. I felt like there were some world building holes, but the story was compelling and I liked the characters.
