A review by booklover_beth
Umbra: Sentient Stars by Amber Toro

5.0

UMBRA is an easy, fun sci-fi read. I don’t normally read sci-fi but this book caught my attention and I am so glad it did. It was so good!! This book has star trek vibes with air battle scenes and all different types of ships, but it was easy to read and packed with action and witty banter. UMBRA is not a standalone book. It is book one of the Sentient Star series. I am very eager to continue this series.

Skyla- a strong, solo adventurer who wanted to be left alone after leaving the Navy (ex-Captain). Of course that doesn’t happen! Lol

Hinata- a Navy commander and rule follower who is sentenced to exile for losing the admiral promotion. His world is turned upside down once a mysterious woman arrives on his station and chaos follows shortly after.

Freyja- the one who won the admiral position and Skyla’s ex-friend who is tired of being a pawn in the Empress’ (her mom) games.

These three characters were brought together by circumstance and held together by duty.

Read this book if you like sci-fi ● star trek vibes ● strong female characters ● adventure ● pet names ● slowest burn romance ● 3 POVs
