Starflight by Melissa Anders Starflight is a romantic teen sci-fi novel about a penniless orphan (and convicted felon) named Solara Brooks. Solara is hoping for a fresh start in the outer reaches of the galaxy, but doesn’t have money to make the journey to her new job. While waiting at a space station in hopes of being chosen as hired help for the voyage, she crosses paths with her high school nemesis Doran Spaulding. Doran is filthy rich and a major jerk. As the story unfolds, the two travelers end up on a dilapidated ship together – the Banshee – and all sorts of intergalactic shenanigans ensue.
Make no mistake. This book is not literature. There is not a lot of substance here, no hidden meanings or deep life messages. The characters are flawed, make mistakes, live with regret and experience some exciting adventures, but they aren’t about to reach off the pages and change your life in any way. This book is light and easy to read and quite entertaining. The world building is good but not mind-blowing. The secondary characters are interesting but not deeply developed. The story is fun but easily forgotten. If all you are looking for is a fun read that will give you some escape time, this could be it. I really enjoyed Starflight and it’s likely you will too.
