The love story of the lawless Bonnie and Clyde, but set in the endless of space.
Made of Stars is a debut novel by Jenna Voris that follows Shane, Ava and their ragtag crew as they take what they need and try to keep their families fed and safe.
The book additionally follows Cyrus, a recent flight academy graduate, who since being at the top of his class gets placed with a well-respected general. While serving, he begins to learn the dark secrets about the people he thought we supposed to be the good guys.
The story is told with switching POVs of Shane, Ava and Cyrus as they try to learn about themselves, while keeping those they love safe. Cyrus struggles to figure out who is right, while Shane struggles to keep the people he cares about safe. Ava, in a quest for fame, has a hard time figuring out if what she is doing will help or just get her name in the all the newspapers.
Cyrus finds himself in between two different worlds, when he finds himself face to face with the rebels that are attacking his crews, while also learning the secrets the military leaders are keeping.
The story is fast-paced, with a love story and two, and many violent scenes. This book is probably not meant for those younger than 14 or so, with pretty intense fight scenes between the rebels and the military. There are additionally characters who you find yourself cheering for, as well as some twists and turns that keep you on edge while reading.
This book was another 5 star read for me. I loved the space vibes, with the mix of the old-west lawlessness. I enjoyed Ava and Shane, and found myself really cheering for Cyrus at the end. I also enjoyed that they all came from similar backgrounds and the background situations that led them to where they were when the story began.
If you are looking for a fun, high energy space book. This one is for you!
