a truly terrific, action-packed space opera that ponders what it means to be human - The Frumious Consortium If you like space operas, science fiction, sassy people and drama then you will have one hell of good time reading Light of Impossible Stars 5* - Fangirl Nation a well-planned and thoughtfully crafted trilogy - Hugo Book Club Grand space opera...but also an intimate tale of a group of characters who become, after many heartbreaking losses, their own found family...I wholeheartedly recommend it 5* - Red Headed Femme
