A review by holliep0cket
The Native Star by M.K. Hobson
3.0
I struggled when trying to think of what to write about this book, and part of me wishes I hadn't tried to review it. I loved every moment of reading the book, but it wasn't until I started trying to really examine it that I realized *something* was preventing me from giving it 4 stars.
It took me a while to really pinpoint what was throwing me off, and I think it had something to do with the pacing of the plot line. In some ways it felt as if the author laid out plot points that were required to be met; but somehow the connecting of them was disjointed. Then the ending cliff hanger felt even more disjointed than the rest of it.
I likely won't read the next book; but I don't feel like the first was a waste of my time either. The characters were interesting and varied, the concept of the story/the use of magic were very unique. In the same regard, I wouldn't discourage anyone from giving this book a shot; but I probably won't be telling all of my friends about it.
