   Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  proustbot | Jun 19, 2023 |   In A Passage of Stars, Kate Elliott, a.k.a. Alis A. Rasmussen, has written a gender-swapped take on Star Wars that almost works. Lily is a farm girl who wants to get off planet. She gets her chance when aliens kidnap her martial arts instructor. She grabs the first shuttle out to rescue him but soon finds herself in the alien brig. Along the way, she picks up some allies. She has a cute musical robot named Bach. So far, so good. But then the story takes a dark political turn, that one doesn’t expect. 3.5 stars. (  ) Tom-e | Apr 22, 2023 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In the crackling first book of Kate Elliott's Highroad trilogy, strong-spirited Lily Ransome leaves her home planet-and the life she's always known-to rescue an abducted friend Willful as well as physically brave, Lily Ransome is dissatisfied by the options available to her on Unruli: She can either join her family's lucrative mining business or begin procreating. When Heredes, her beloved martial arts instructor, tutor, and father figure, is kidnapped by alien bounty hunters, Lily spurns the expectations of her home planet and ventures into space to find him. Befriending a persecuted minority class of humans called the Ridani, she becomes involved in an intergalactic rebellion and finds love in an unexpected place-as well as true strength within herself. A Passage of Stars is the first book of the Highroad trilogy, which continues with Revolution's Shore and The Price of Ransom. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Lily is a paragon of adolescent wish-fulfillment. She's beautiful. And oppressed! Her parents don't understand her. But she's the best pupil of her sensei, and she's also got unexpected technical expertise (which is only a step or two removed from magic powers). And she's got a robot sidekick!
And this is all in the first ten pages.
So A Passage of Stars wasn't very good (although Kyosti makes an intriguing Byronic hero, albeit more Don Juan than Childe Harold), but whatever -- I read it exclusively for its tenuous connection to the Jaran books, and on that account, it satisfied. (
