Scavenge the Stars by Tara Sim
4.0

Actual rating: 3.8 stars

I only gave it this high a rating because the writing itself was good and the story, though not particularly interesting, did manage to hold my attention until the end and made me want to at least finish it. Not sure if I’m going to continue the series.

The biggest pro for me was the MC, Amaya. I appreciated how she stayed true to herself and her goal. Although she did have to deceive people for her mission, she was still honest and told the truth in the end. Also, hooray for LGBTQIA+ rep in this book (especially published by Disney?!). I also appreciated how Amaya is portrayed as demisexual and focused on her goal instead of throwing everything away “for love.”
