Dungias was already having difficulties at school and at home due to his condition, which caused him to be treated with contempt by the community and shunned by his own family, causing him great pain. To make matters worse, his father conspired to have a painful procedure performed on him to determine why he was born that way.

Dungias, determined to live a quiet life, isolated himself in his room and only interacted with his family when absolutely necessary. He worked hard on his assigned tasks in an attempt to win his family's respect, love, and admiration, but to no avail. Especially With the Iro-Games approaching, their focus was on Gantee to restore their family's glory.

On the day of the championship competition, Dungias, while conducting errands for his family, saves Nugar, and his contact with Saru sparks a flare between the two. What may that turn out to be, given how different they are?

As the tournament begins, Gantee performs admirably with the assistance of Dungias, but during the final round, he does something shocking that leaves Dungias screaming in pain, and the events that follow land Dungias in jail at the mercy of the royal family, but fortunately, an unlikely ally comes to his rescue, and thus begins Dungias' journey towards his quest, which could change the fate of the Malgovi and Vinthur people.

Purchase a copy of this book to read more about Dungia's voyage, astral realms, and interdimensional travel.

The character development focusing on the bond between Dungias and Danatra was very enjoyable for me. Their partnership grew out of all the knowledge, challenges, and experiences they encountered on their journeys to become what they were from what they had been.

Another advantage was that knowledge is power; it all depends on who holds it and how it is used. For example, Danatra and Phizon had similar abilities, but they used them in different ways. This demonstrates that knowledge is available to everyone, but how one understands and applies it determines whether the information is used for good or bad.

Star Chaser by Reiter is a tale suitable for fans of science fiction. I enjoyed reading about astral realms and Dungias' voyage that changed his life completely; his allies and foes made his journey enjoyable. The book has many positive traits, but the errors I encountered indicate that it needs to be re-edited; therefore, I deducted a star and gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

It seems that poor Dangias was a victim of bullying and abuse. I am rooting for him to come out on top. Knowledge is power, and the knowing one must use the power in an intelligent and humane manner. I am intrigued with this science fiction story. I hope the author corrects the editing errors to vault this story to five-star status.

This was a well organised review. I love how your wrote the summary, balancing it with your detailed analysis. I love the cover, more. It's gives the impression of Star Wars. Perhaps it was inspired it was is inspired by it? Anyway, keep up the good work.
