3.5 stars. It was fun, adventursome, wity, and heartwarming. I liked the world and I really liked Solara (the main character). The plot was good if not great, and the other characters were decent. The writing was mostly good. It wasn't spectacular, but it I definitely enjoyed it. And I'm trying to read more sci-fi, so it fulfilled that! I also like that it served as a stand-alone, but more books are coming in this same universe. Glad I read it, but I probably won't re-read.
