Starlite by Jonathan Latt
4.0

Prepare for a journey across the galaxies, my fellow space enthusiasts, as we dive into the thrilling sci-fi novel, Starlite, penned by the imaginative Jonathan Latt. Brace yourselves for an interstellar escapade that promises to send your imagination soaring, even if it occasionally gets lost in the vastness of the cosmos.

Easy to get lost in the book as the word building is penned in layman's term (well, on sci-fi standards anyways) The quirks of the characters also gave life to the story in general.

However, while the world and characters in Starlite are undoubtedly captivating, the plot occasionally falters like a rocket with a wonky trajectory. The story starts off with a bang, promising an exhilarating ride through uncharted space territories. But as we venture deeper into the book, the plot loses some of its initial momentum, causing us to float in a literary limbo, waiting for the next grand revelation or twist. There are moments when it feels as though Latt is trying to navigate through the cosmic labyrinth without a star map, resulting in a few unnecessary detours that disrupt the overall flow.

Nevertheless, Starlite is not a book to be dismissed lightly. Latt's prose is as luminous as a distant supernova, and his knack for creating vivid and imaginative settings is truly commendable. It is a cosmic adventure with soaring potential that occasionally gets lost among the galaxies. While the plot may lose its way at times, Latt's world-building skills and engaging characters shine like distant constellations.

Thank you the author and EscapistBookCo for a physical copy of the book in exchange for a review
