The space opera odyssey you didn't know you needed, this is a moving epic about Esme, who as the eldest of four daughters stands to inherit a powerful corporate empire—but at the cost of losing her sisters. Readers learn that Esme and her father, Phillip, have a sinister secret that led to Esme's siblings becoming estranged from the family. This sci-fi blend that alternates between past and present is both a family drama of redemption and a gripping space story. The novel is full of powerful moments of devastation and self-discovery. While there are plenty of familiar sci-fi elements, it is the well-developed cast that will pull readers in.
VERDICT With strong characters, gripping action, detailed world-building, and lots of mystery, this title will enthrall science fiction fans, adults and teens alike.
