 Review: My past experiences with Melissa Lander's books did not go well. I disliked Alienated and Invaded so much. United was a better book although I just wished I had better time with them. I hesitated so much before picking Starflight up because it's another sci-fi from Landers and I didn't want to trust it. But I did pick it up and liked it better than the Alienated trilogy. 
 So Starflight is about a girl named Solara who used to work as a servant for Doran, but later on is on a ship with him trying to escape whatever crimes they both committed. 
 One of the reasons why I hated Aelinated was because of the writing. As the book went deeper, the writing dragged slower and it was getting really boring. But this book did the absolute different and that's how I could see that Landers' writing and mindset has improved over time. I wasn't feeling bored, in fact, I was captivated. I found my way to pick it up after being busy and I thought that the writing and the plot blended and went really well together. 
 Honestly, I liked most of what happened in this book. I liked the plot even though there are parts where I didn't understand fully, yet I thought that it was plentiful. There were fight scene and escaping spaceship and pirate and missing royalty. It was interesting and I didn't drag on with nothing like Alienated, of course. It's actually a great sci-fi book now. 
 What I particularly think that I disliked the characters in Alienated was that they are annoying and sort of immature. But Solara is nothing like that, she is very brave and persuasive and fearless. Doran, at first, I thought was pretty much an asshole. But there were more about him and his character development that I would love to see in the next book. The romance was not bad at all, it wasn't too much that I couldn't handle, it felt right. 
 Overall: I thought I couldn't come to like this book because I wasted my time with Lander's previous ones. I don't regret my time with this book and I would pick up the next one up soon.
