Made of Stars by Jenna Voris
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
4.0
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
I immediately loved the feeling of this SF world in Made of Stars. Look, I heard Bonnie and Clyde in space and started running, ok? If you love not only rebellions, outlaws, and a bit of trouble, but also those characters who never wanted to be heroes? Then Made of Stars is for you. A huge theme, reflected throughout the book, is this idea of when we will speak up. Often it's not easy, it's more than difficult to speak up against a system of power. We risk ourselves, our homes, our families.
But at the end of the day, we have to, because if we don't then who are we? Made of Stars examines exactly who we become, and who we don't. In many ways, it's a story about being in a pressure cooker wondering when enough is enough. When that spark comes that ignites the fuse. Seeing through different character's eyes allows us to truly witness the cracks in the making. When all the things we've seen begin to haunt us.
