Darkship Theives :Book Review
My friend
Sara Hoyt sent me her January release, DarkShip Thieves
Darkship Thieves combines the best of space opera with the strongest of love stories to become a book that kept me reading from start to finish, sans break. And with my overhyper schedule right now, it takes a lot to hold my skittering attention. Kudos for a great book, Sarah!
In a futuristic world, a young woman escapes from her father’s spaceship during a mutiny. She takes a lifepod and travels into a tangle of energy production networks where she is rescued by a very dashing man from another planet who sees no other option but to take her back to his home. Yes, it’s a cool and adventurous plot with lots of swash and buckle, but what makes this futuristic romance stand out above the others is the world building. From the smallest of details to the largest of cultural philosophies, this book is air tight. (Yes, air tight–I hear all you space opera junkies snicker about the perils of vacuum leaks in space.)
Oh, I have a thing about covers and it extends to this book. The cover looks retro, 1950-ish maybe? And doesn’t look anything like the book. So, don’t judge this book by it’s cover, unless you’re totally into retro bookcover art.
If you are fans of Patricia Brigss or Ann Aguirre, you are sure to love Darkship Theives by Sarah A. Hoyt.
All thumbs up!
