Interesting space adventure, a unique J fiction title. ( )
  mslibrarynerd | Jan 13, 2024 |
I probably would've finished this if my library loan hadn't run out. But it did and there just wasn't enough mystery or drama to compel me to put it on hold again. I was also annoyed by how often some points were reiterated, as if the author thinks young readers will forget that foxes are discriminated against even though he's already mentioned it like twenty times.

Overall, this wasn't as funny as I expected from a Riordan Presents adventure. Plenty of action and interesting mythology, sure. But it didn't hook me. ( )

Whoops I accidentally inhaled the rest of it on day 2, clearing through TBRs I bought last year and continuing #asianreadathon for APAHM. Excellent middle grade (though leaning towards older due to length, solidly a teen read) sci-fi with strong fantasy elements derived from Korean mythology. I think I would've loved this in middle school. 13 year old Min must find out what happened to her brother in the Space Forces and winds up in a larger quest that could help terraform her backwater planet.

I definitely want more from this world- a lot of worldbuilding that I want to explore (the Thousand Worlds vs the Jeweled Worlds? the coexistence of humans and supernaturals but in Space?? Min's other relatives???) The blend of sci-fi and fantasy is excellent- for example, the ship's energy is similar to a person's gi with meridians, and if the ship gets damaged in a sector the engineer will suffer injuries in the same place. Ghosts can cause bad luck and it's a noticable thing by technicians.

Our MC Min is a resourceful character for a 13 year old, and I couldn't help but draw parallels with Ender's Game in the middle third of the book because spaceflight school. Various parties' motivations make sense and don't come out of nowhere.

I've never read a Rick Riordan novel nor have I read a Yoon Ha Lee novel prior to this, but definitely going to read more of them (I recognize RR was involved at the level of light editing and the imprint, but I do think RR Presents is an excellent use of privilege and name recognition to get stories out there. I've seen [b:Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky|39884337|Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky (Tristan Strong #1)|Kwame Mbalia|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1549350938l/39884337._SX50_.jpg|61695419] in my various feeds so that's definitely on my radar for TBR).

* I got this book for review for my honest thoughts*
I really did enjoy this read. I really loved the main character in this story. I found this book to be such a refreshing read. I found this book to also be a super diverse read and really liked the pace of this novel of this as well. I also really liked this space adventure themed novel. I really was impressed by this read. It was such a fast pace read. I did think the ending was a bit rushed. I also really enjoyed the korean mythokolgoy system that we had in this novel. It was quick read and i hope we get more books in this series eventually. ( )

(Starred review) VERDICT With ghosts, pirates, and a rollicking space adventure, there's a little something for everyone here. A recommended purchase for all middle grade collections.

(Starred review) A high-octane, science-fiction thriller painted with a Korean brush and a brilliant example of how different cultures can have unique but accessible cosmology and universal appeal.

I almost missed the stranger's visit that morning.

I liked to sleep in, though I didn't get to do it often. Waking up meant waking early. Even on the days I had lessons, my mom and aunties loaded me down with chores to do first.
