My Book Review of These Alien Skies (Black Stars)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I couldn’t set it down!
What an endearing tale of hope, friendship, and unity. I absolutely loved it from start to finish.
What I liked… so many things. For a short read, this is a big story. The technology was intriguing. The mix of alien with spirituality delighted me. Of course, the relationship between Mzisi and Tariro was the real magic… Then, how they impacted the world around them – powerful.
I don’t like giving too much away – reading a story is such a personal journey. What I will say is that even with tensions, dischord, and uncertainty, the author left me feeling hopeful. I had many questions, don’t get me wrong, but my sense of unity and community outweighed my concerns.
What I didn’t like is that the story ended all too quickly. I wanted more.
I definitely recommend this quick read. If you love sci-fi, first contact, aliens, space travel, human sagas… or just want a really well written tale of friendship, grab a copy. It’s worth it, in my opinion!
