Navigating the Stars by Maria V. Snyder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lyra Daniels is very upset. Once again she most follow her parents to a new planet. That means she will leave her friends 50 years in the past even though for her it will be just weeks or months. This is a nice twist on Einstein and his theories adding to the plot. The plot gives Lyra more than she expected and puts both her and her family in grave danger. I loved how Lyra finally decided to both keep the past and look to the future. A very interesting coming of age story with many twists and turns. Great start to a new series.
Sovereign by Jeff Hirsch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Micah Cole is another one mad at his parents for taking him away from his friends. He is stranded on Sovereign, a new planet full of the unknown. I know what I expected Micah to find but was surprised when it turned out I was right. There were clues all along that he was not alone but I just did not catch on. A nice listen in the Audible original. Jesse Einstein does a great job with all the different voices.

Navigating the Stars by Maria V. Snyder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This has an unusual concept. Remember the life-sized terracotta Warriors found in China. Well what if we find them when we go to space and what if they are on more than on planet. That is the main plot point in Navigating the Stars. Lyra Daniel has to follow her parents from planet to planet as they study the Warriors. Each time she leaves friends behind, not only in space but in time. I loved all of the different concepts in Navigating the Stars. The two young adults carried the story but they are backed up by a great cast of secondary characters. There is plenty of danger and tension in the story. Also some unexpected surprises as the plot unfolds. Great world building and back story as this sets up the Sentinels of the Galaxy series.
A Cowboy's Choice by Vicki Lewis Thompson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What can go wrong when you decide to skip the dating and go right to spending a weekend together. Well seems like a lot. Brendan Sawyer has come home and one reason is Jo Fielding. Jo hates dating and thinks a weekend together will tell if they are compatible or not. Of course all kinds of things go wrong even as some go right. I liked the fact that this one featured older characters and that they find their HEA. This is a fun series the next book looks like even more fun as a relative comes over the pond to hide from his actions.
