Review: Hunt the Stars

Buy on Amazon

An enemies-to-lovers space opera!?! Sign me up!

It's been a while since I've ventured into space, so this was a refreshing change of pace. Being on opposite sides of a war made Tavi and Torran more societal enemies than personal. They both knew of each other from their roles in the war, and how each was portrayed for battle prowess and wartime events. I thought it was a really interesting pairing.

Despite having amazing technology at their fingertips on some kickass space ships, everything was not smooth sailing for our main characters. While Tavi's hormones can't quite deny an attraction to the stoic general, she can't quite trust him or his motivations. Torran, on the other hand, has been put in an impossible situation by his empress and wasn't expecting to be drawn in by out spitfire captain. After navigating a few personal wormholes, I enjoyed watching the couple rely on the trust they had in one another even when it appeared betrayal was afoot.

Jessie Mihalik has a great imagination. I'm sure her background as a software engineer is beneficial when it comes to world-building in her futuristic societies. I love all of the technology, but I also really enjoy the political aspects of her stories. So creative!

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
