Home: Interstellar: Merchant Princess by Ray StrongMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
It took me awhile to realize why I wasn't getting into the story. The premise is really exciting, and the obstacles are intriguing. There is a conspiracy going on that is extremely far-reaching.
The technology is very light. I like real science in my sci-fi, so this was a tiny stretch for me.
So what was the deal? Why couldn't I care deeply for these misplaced children who were facing enormous psychological and physical problems?
The story was told in a style that had no passion. I read a newspaper and get more passion. I didn't feel like I was right there with the characters because it seemed the author didn't care all that much for the characters. The reader can't smell or taste or feel much of what's going on because the story is told from an atmosphere as antiseptic as space is a vacuum.
When the inciting incident of a story happens in the backstory, it is very difficult to get into the story.
All that said, I liked it but it didn't make me hungry for more.
