Beschreibung

An epic debut set on the edges of space, where one botched job could mean death—or so much worse…

Wanderlust runs in Kivita Vondir’s blood. She dreamed of salvaging like her father when she was young, and now it’s her addiction, getting her through pit stops filled with cheap alcohol and cheaper companionship and distracting her from her broken heart.

Her latest contract to hunt down a fabled gemstone is exactly the kind of adventure she craves. But this job is more than meets the eye. For one thing, her duplicitous employer has hired rebel Sar Redryll—Kivita’s former lover—to stop her at any cost. For another, Kivita’s recovery of the relic unleashes in her powerful new abilities. Abilities that everyone in the Cetturo Arm—human, alien, and in-between—desperately wishes to control…

As she avoids a massive galactic manhunt, Kivita teams up with two unlikely allies: Sar and his enigmatic new partner. Only, as the gem’s mysteries are revealed and danger draws near, Kivita begins to wonder if her ex has truly changed, or if he’s just waiting for the right moment to betray her once again…

Inherit the Stars was a very readable and fast-paced YA science fiction novel that kept me glued to its pages. Once I started reading it was hard to put down and foregoing some sleep in favour of continuing reading seemed the right choice. I've seen some people critique the writing and while I can see why it might be confusing (it occasionally was to me as well) I enjoyed it because it's similar to how I used write when I was dreaming up stories. Asa started out as an immature and reckless character who frustrated me at the beginning but I found that she grew into her own person as the novel progressed. I loved her dedication to her sister Wren and I liked the pace of development of her and Eagle's relationship. My only wish for the sequel is that we'll get more in-depth world building. I was hoping for a more detailed look on how things work in this world and how the concepts threaded into the story (like uleum and ecoflux) actually work. Plus I'd love to see some more scenes between Asa and Eagle where they talk more with each other instead of mostly communicating through looks and touches (although that is important as well).
