I have just really started to get into the YA Sci-fi genre with Across the Universe and These Broken Stars, so I thought I would give Protostar a chance. Plus, it is written by a male in a genre that is dominated by females. I really wanted to see his take on the genre.

Likes:

The story was original, I have never read anything like it and was intrigued on where the story was going to go.

I enjoyed both the main characters, William and Sydney. I enjoyed their chemistry and personalities. Sydney was funny, kind and caring. William was strong, but gentle at the same time.

I always love the Romeo & Juliet feel to stories, loving your enemy, crossing racism and discrimination. The world needs to come together and love each other, so I always love story lines like this J World peace, everyone.

The writing was really well-done. Although I have to admit, complex at times, it was good. I thought even his writing on really intriguing when he was writing from Sydney’s POV.

Gripes:

Sometimes the jargon was over my head, especially with space and space ship talk.

There were a few points, especially toward the end I felt the book got a little long-winded. I really wanted the action and to know the outcome quickly. I just might not have been in the right mood either and read it impatiently.
