Acerca de esta escucha
A thought-provoking new YA space adventure from the number-one New York Times best-selling author of Star Wars: Ahsoka.
Set on a family-run interstellar freighter called the Harland and a mysterious remote space station, E. K. Johnston's latest is a story of survival and self-determination.
Pendt Harland's family sees her as a waste of food on their long-haul space cruiser when her genes reveal an undesirable mutation. But if she plays her cards right, she might have a chance to do much more than survive. During a space-station layover, Pendt escapes and forms a lucky bond with the Brannick twins, the teenage heirs of the powerful family that owns the station. Against all odds, the trio hatches a long-shot scheme to take over the station and thwart the destinies they never wished for.

Two decades ago, Jedi clans clashed in service to feuding lords. Sickened by this endless cycle, a sect of Jedi rebelled, seeking to control their own destiny and claim power in service of no master. They called themselves Sith. The Sith rebellion failed, succumbing to infighting and betrayal, and the once rival lords unified to create an Empire...but even an Empire at peace is not free from violence.

With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop. The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her sometimes helpful child, who work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through.

My name is Alice Long, and I've always known I was different. When I was little I used to climb up to the highest branches of the housetree at night, and watch the starships docking at the orbital stations high above. Forty meters off the ground, watching ships 30,000 kilometers overhead, with senses that could pick out radar pings and comm chatter as easily as the ships themselves. It all seemed perfectly natural at the time.

Historia
There’s something out there: A juggernaut of evil bearing down to crush the Republic - unless one lone Jedi, shunned and reviled, can stop it. Revan: Hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians - and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but the price of redemption was high. His memories have been erased. All that’s left are nightmares - and deep, abiding fear.

A good space opera

I'm not going to lie, the first 1/3 of the book wasn't holding my interest. There was a lot of factual world building that was a lot to take in, and there wasn't much indication of where the story was going - I love world building, but character development is my real jam, so world building sans character development is difficult for me. Once the main character Pent meets the other main characters, though, the story started to gain my interest and I thoroughly enjoyed the second half of the book. I'd be interested in reading a follow up story about the characters!
There is a warning at the beginning of the audio book, but if mention of intense calorie counting is triggering, you should definitely steer clear. The mentions aren't super detailed or for weight loss purposes, just mentioned frequently in the first 1/3 of the book as it's required for the lengthy voyages the ship takes and doling out the available nutrition is part of Pent's job. It is mentioned during the rest of the book, but a lot more rarely and even more vaguely than before.
I thought the way the story resolved was interesting and a bit unique, I was pleased!
I really liked the combination of ether and science fiction, the world is an interesting one for sure!
The writing is very straightforward so I think the audience could be as young as 12, but there are some more adult concepts - pregnancy and choosing what children are worth while for the ship, and a lot of emotional abuse by Pent's family, so it depends on the young adult whether it is an appropriate read. (I should mention that I'm an adult in my 30's.)
As for the audiobook reader Ashley Eckstein, I'm a huge fan, so I'm probably pretty biased, but I loved her reading the story. She has a fairly young voice, but it fits the characters so well.
Enjoyable Story, Takes off in Second Half

I understand why some people could be disappointed by this. It is E.K. Johnston, the famed Star Wars writer in her very own IP and world. And like I said, it is a fun and intriguing world with an interesting mix of hard sci fi and actual, literal magic. If you go into this expecting a grand adventure you will be disappointed. If you go in expecting a story of damaged people who find ways to grow and accept themselves you will find exactly what you're looking for.
This isn't Star Wars. This isn't Star Trek. It is definitely not Battlestar Galactica. It's the Fisher King in space. It's the story of a girl escaping an abusive family to join a supportive one. And it is everything I needed with all the craziness in the world of late.

I wouldn't quite define it as SciFi, since I prefer to think of similar titles as space fantasy (think starwars) due to the existence of a magical system that doesn't necessarily hinge on an advancement in technology. That said, the technology in the universe is certainly more advanced than ours and the author entwines both to weave an intricate and fascinating backdrop for the story to take place in. Specifically I appreciated the unusual political circumstances that were enabled by the setting.
The protagonists were, perhaps, the most vibrant aspect of the storytelling. I quickly found myself very invested in their character arcs and struggles, beyond simply liking them. The story really shone in the small moments of celebrating simple agency and autonomy, brilliantly using the magical system to create a philosophical circumstance to explore the self-determination so central to the plot.
All in all, I think it was refreshing and tasteful. I've already seen a few reviews by people who get mad over certain issues that they insist are political and "irrelevant to the plot", but those sorts tend to get offended by anything that doesn't exclusively represent them and their politics; their reviews don't carry significant weight for this reason, by my estimation. My only real criticism is that it was too short and I was left wanting more.
I wish there was more.

This novel is fast-paced, thought provoking, and is permeated with a common theme of hope and rising above one’s circumstances. It emphasises the need for love and compassion.
Ashley Eckstein’s performance and voice were flawless!
Fantastic!

Then it picks up, and peaks around 3rd part. I'd rate later part of the book 4 stars.
The ending fwas stupid, rushed and anticlimactic. After bankrupting themselves and losing such a unique prize, they all just say okay I believe you and leave? ugh. wasted so much potential!
Overall great short story that starts rough
