Navigating the Stars by Maria V. SnyderTerra Cotta Warriors have been discovered on other planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. And Lyra Daniels' parents are the archaeological Experts (yes with a capital E) on the Warriors and have dragged her to the various planets to study them despite the time dilation causing havoc with her social life. This was one unexpected five star book. From the world-building to the character development it was great! Lyra’s (the main character) voice came through loud and clear with personality, attitude and charm. The plot was real good as well! I always find M.V Snyder’s books very interesting and engaging with new aspects of the universes she’s created revealed every chapter. Possibly the thing I loved most about this book was the shattering relatability of what Lyra and all the space kids went through when moving away. I have never so far in the history of my reading come across a book that captures the feeling quite so clearly as is done here. Speaking from personal experience with transition stress, I found it struck home for me, but of course everybody’s experience is different.
Navigating the Stars was a wonderful combination of sci-fi and fantasy in the YA genre and I will very much be eagerly awaiting a sequel. Apart from some swearing and light mentions of sex there wasn’t much to report, and I would probably recommend it for 14-15+ I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! StoryGirl P.S Listened to this in audiobook form read by Alice Barrington performance was really good expression but not the biggest variety of voices, I’d still recommend the experience though!
