The Andromeda's Ghost

Ok. Wow. Where do I start.
Firstly, I received access to a free pre published version of this book for a limited time via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Now for the book.
Initial thoughts when I started was : alright this is fairly interesting, some good nifty gadgets and some very interesting interplanetary politics.

A love story cut short is not always what most people like but this was so good. The frustration, the helplessness and desperation of a person stranded on an unfamiliar planet is so well captured you could almost imagine it in real life.

The world building in my opinion is exceptional and details were well researched. I liked the diversity. Not just one type of people or beings but a variety which makes this world more dimensional .

Best part about this book:
I love the characters. I love the heart warming moments that appear at just the right time.

"Broken pieces stick together." That's The Quote of this book. .

Former bodyguard Taren, kidnaps/rescues Princess Kylee as she is walking down the aisle to marry another. Together, they flee in a stolen spaceship. After being shot down and stranded on Cartiss, they must evade the royal guards and find enough supplies in the mafia ruled town of Hurren.

This was a well written, and interesting book. I generally do not go for sci-fi books, but I thought the premise of this one was intriguing. The characters were well defined, and although slightly stereotypical, were dynamic enough to keep me interested. I would like to read more from this author.

I enjoyed this book. It has potential for a good series. Good writing, storyline, dialog and action. I recommend checking it out. I think you'll like it.

Taren Platinum planned to kidnap the princess. It didn’t turn out the way he wanted. So what’s next?

What’s next is a question throughout The Andromeda's Ghost. A repair mission on a desolate planet wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed. Once Taren encountered the ghost of the crashed spaceship Andromeda, the story turned in ways that he - and the reader - could never have expected. But it all made sense.

In The Andromeda's Ghost, Becca Fox laid out a journey that was fun to share.Introducing the ghost allowed her to tell her tale with dialogue instead of narrative. World building is a challenge, since the author has to walk the fine line between fleshing out the setting without getting bogged down with excessive prose. The balance was terrific, using concise descriptions that made it easy to create a picture in your mind. Each new character was unique, well-developed, and interesting. The story goes into unexpected but reasonable directions, because the characters’ actions were consistent with their values. For example, when a character pops up in a place where she's not expected, she has a reasonable explanation why. 

The book is the start of The Andromeda Chronicles. I can’t wait to read her next book.

At first i felt kind of thrown into the story and was confused, but i grew to like the characters and story.
