Empress of a Thousand Skies by Rhoda Belleza

3.0

So ... I liked this, but I don't know how much I'll remember it (or if I'll continue for sure). I did find myself losing focus at times, getting distracted (multi-tasking while I listened to the audio). This had two POVs, Rhee and Aly. I had to remind myself that Aly was a guy, as it just feels more like a girl's name to me. It was all third person, so one narrator (female) and while the chapters switched consistently and were marked, I'd still lose track of who was telling the story, of which POV we were in. I pretty much called the "reveal" at the end of this one (it was pretty obvious).

This had a "Star Wars" feel to me ... just the descriptions and my visualizations of the planets, with all the different kinds of creatures, the conflicts. My mind was just picturing some scenes from the various Star Wars movies and this story really seemed to fit ... similar worlds.

Borrowed from my library. Was also able to grab the Kindle copy and I did glance at it and while the narration was good, I wonder if my mind wouldn't have wandered as much if I'd been reading it on my own.
