Mirage
by Somaiya Daud
I want to give this more stars than three, because I do think the depth of the heroine and her captor/villain/sister of sorts is worth another star, but three is safe and not a BAD rating by any means.
The reasons I knock this book down two stars is that when a romantic focus or male comes into books sometimes the lead looses sight of the mission and or the goal. While that was not the case in this book, I do think the romance was ... a little too quick?
I give praise that she developed a space opera of sorts, but at times it didn't feel like a space opera? Once in a while something technologically advanced would get thrown in (blasters, shuttle, data pad, etc.) I felt the book required more of a technological aspect and or more of space. Where is more science involved things?
I gave the three stars because I enjoyed the characters, and I do think there is a story in there and maybe by book two it will get solid. I rated Sabriel the same way (I three-starred it and then the rest I gave glowing praise). I just have a little beef when people make space-operas they don't... give it that space-feel.
I'll keep an eye out on book two.
