jakej 's review for:

Empire Star by Samuel R. Delany
2.0
adventurous lighthearted mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Way too short when it didn't have to be.
The time loop struck me as a gimmick and a cop-out to avoid writing the rest of the story. Would've probably blown my mind when I was 12, but not now.
