depizan 's review for:

Stars Uncharted by S.K. Dunstall
3.0

The science is definitely on the might-as-well-be-magic end of things, but I don't have any particular need for hard science (or even the pretense of same) in my space adventure. There are ships and horrifying weapons no one in their right minds would invent and super easy designer body modification and a planet of untold riches if only it can be found again. You know, the usual.

It took me a while to decide to read this because of the whole everyone having secrets thing, but - minor spoilers, I guess - it does not lead to some kind of annoying falling out among the main characters that could've been avoided if anyone had even a grain of sense. (Also, people all had perfectly good reasons for their secrets.)

I'm not keen on the abusive relationship side plot, and I do think people should be aware of it, even if it isn't that much of the book. Other than that, it's all pretty standard space adventure shenanigans, and I enjoyed it. Well enough to seek out the sequel.
