A review by bookwyrm_kate
The Native Star by M.K. Hobson

3.0

I thought this was a really interesting book, especially for a first-time author. I enjoyed the world, the slight variations on history, and the mixture of steampunk with magic...which is funny because steampunk is usually so science/technology based. I have a hard time rating it, because it's not one of the best books I've read, but I did enjoy it. 3.5 maybe? It felt like it had the potential to be a much longer book with a lot more back-story, but perhaps because it was a first time novel, it was edited down. I thought it was an incredibly visual story, and I'd love to see it as a movie!
