Kiya and the Morian Treasure by R.S. Mellette

messyjesseb's review

3.0

Kiya and the Morian Treasure is a quick, light read. The religious undertones of the story made me a little uncomfortable, but there’s still much to like about this fun, action-filled space drama.

I found the worldbuilding in Kiya and the Morian Treasure to be inventive and evocative of the author’s Xena: Warrior Princess roots. The planet hopping story doesn’t quite build to the level of space opera, instead keeping the swift-paced story easy and accessible.

Shades of Veronica Roth with some undertones of Casandra Clare. But in space.

I’m always on board for a story with multiple female leads, especially from an author with a Xena pedigree. Kiya and the Morian Treasure was pleasant and fun, with some interesting worldbuilding details and lots of adventure.

There’s a lot to like about Kiya and the Morian Treasure, a pleasant read with an expansive cast, including two female leads, and much action. Readers who enjoyed the Divergent trilogy will undoubtedly like this book, too.

Kiya and the Morian Treasure is a brisk and breezy read, with perhaps a few too many blink and you’ll miss them worldbuilding details. The dueling protagonists are each likable in their own ways; one, the coddled daughter of an planetary ambassador, the other a no-nonsense space pirate. But it’s a fun story that sure to serve its intended audience well.

Really? Goodreads will let the author put in his/her own review? What am I supposed to say? "Don't get anywhere near this book! It's the worst thing ever written!"

Seriously, it's always my hope that I give my readers and fans their money's worth. If you've shelled out your hard earned cash for one of my stories, I'm honored and humbled. I just hope you feel like it was money well-spent.

Enjoy!
