Rynah barely escapes from her home planet after an important crystal was stolen, causing her planet to ultimately be destroyed. If it weren't for Solaris, a spaceship left to her by her grandfather, she would have never made it off the planet. Now she's on a mission to find the rest of the crystals before the other person does. If all six are united, it could mean the end for all planets.
I really did enjoy this book. It was very inventive and witty. I adored all of the characters except Rynah. I felt that Rynah was a spoiled little brat who was prone to tantrums when she didn't get her way and talked to everybody around her like trash. Solaris was my favorite "character". She had a lot of character and spunk about her.
I wonder if Solaris will remind anybody of that one car, Kit I think the name was. It was a very intelligent car. I remember watching some episodes of the show a long time ago. I can't remember when or how many. I just know I liked it. The personality of the car was hilarious. Every time Solaris talked, it reminded me of the car.
There was only really one major bump that I found in this story. It really alternated character's points of view rapidly in group sets. The only time it was differentiated was when it was a different group. I felt like I was kind of thrown back and forth and wasn't sure who was thinking what and when. I had to reread several sentences because of it.
Another thing I was really confused on is the four people that were pulled from Earth. I mean it's hinted at where they came from, but not really. It would have liked to know exactly what time frames they were from. Maybe it was mentioned and I missed it. Maybe I should go back and re-read it one day.
All in all, I really enjoyed the story. It was very witty and humorous. It was also creative and edgy. I fully recommend it for all science fiction and fantasy fans out there. I'm even looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
I can honestly give this book a three out of four-star rating. It was very impressive and I enjoyed it immensely. I can't say it was one of my favorites and that I just absolutely loved it, but I did really like it. I am really curious to see where the rest of the series goes and how the characters fare from here.
