Lucky Stars by Fantasia Yu
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was intrigued to read this wonderful space romance novel when I saw the gorgeous colors on the cover giving off galaxy vibes. Then I read the synopsis and you had me at Space Pirates. I think any fellow star wars/trek or Guardians of the Galaxy fans will enjoy this book and Princess Mora’s dilemma to fight for the life that she wants and deserves – or – the life her family wants her to follow, as the first born Princess. I honestly had quirky Space Balls vibes when reading this story.

This was absolutely a fun read and not what I expected which was quite refreshing. I loved Mora’s personality, quirks and all. Somehow I knew immediately that Darin would be her forbidden interest in this story. I mean the idea of marrying someone you do not know, love, etc does not sound appealing to me in any shape or form, but that is because this is not a custom that I’ve ever had to accustom to; however, I would assume that I may react to such a demand in much the same way. Stay and be forced to share a life with a complete stranger or leave your life behind and have fun adventures with a handsome stranger who quickly becomes more.

I love the vast imagery and world building described throughout the story. This could easily be adapted to the big screen. The author also did a remarkable job building up the characters and their story arc.

Sci-fi lovers and those who enjoy a good romantic adventure will highly relish this book and the author’s craft.
