Ilustration During Books ...And the Stars Will Sing

Wormholes, aliens, and space pirates, need I say more? I met the author Michelle Browne in my social media ramblings. She’s a snarky, interesting girl, which pretty much describes her writing. I have read A LOT of sci-fi novels and short stories. I subscribe to Analog magazine and enjoy every issue of it. This novella could easily have been a miniseries in Analog. It’s top notch sci-fi. She has an easy-flowing narrative style in first person, essentially a woman’s diary of her unusual work assignment aboard a wormhole mapping space vessel. As the plot unfolds, the vessel receives a series of threatening messages from an unnamed source. The threat: If they continue their work on wormholes in that sector, they’ll pay the price with their lives. The mapping isn’t going well, unexplainable wormhole anomalies pop up where they shouldn’t be. Something is definitely not right. Amidst this setting, our heroine is falling in love with a coworker, very much against ship regulations. Overall, it was a very interesting, creative, and entertaining read. My inner sci-fi nerd crept out from under its shell to smile. I found it fascinating they actually map out and create or repair wormholes through space for interstellar highways. And the various different alien races that interact, sharing meals, relating to one another, bridging massive gaps of culture and language to find common ground. My only complaint is that it should have been longer. I would really like to see a full length novel of this quality sci-fi from Michelle Browne.

Evaluate Regarding Books ...And the Stars Will Sing

If you will like this book or not depends on whether you like the narrator's voice (I didn't connect with her). What I liked about the book was the explanations I got about worm-hole creation. I could have done with a little math here and there but understand that most people would hate that (I'm a freak in that respect). I wa a bit sorry that the more technical parts of the main character's job were often cut short (probably to not bore the reader).The rest of the book was straightforward and

Pretty solid story. As a novella it's necessarily short on character development and is largely plot driven, which works for what I perceive to be a younger target audience than I. Everything feels rushed, with the central romance feeling particularly hurried and the shift from 'I can't stand this guy' to 'I love him to death' being almost painfully abrupt. The main character has some Mary Sue tendencies, but in this sort of novel there's nothing wrong with that. The antagonist also has some

I think this is going to be like Marmite, either you love it or you don't. I didn't find the story particularly interesting and disliked the main character. That combined with the journal format style of telling the story made me give up. Still there are plenty of good reviews so you might as well try reading it.

An Engaging and Skillfully-Constructed NovellaI dont read much science fiction these days. I find a lot of the books in the genre too derivative, sitting on the shoulders of the great science fiction writers of yore. I particularly get frustrated with the lack of attention to basic psychology, and hence to my mind a lot of character motivations and actions have no credibility or depth to them.Sci-fi novels written in the first person have an additional challenge inasmuch as the technologies and

Generally speaking I enjoyed this book as a relatively quick, easy read that maintained a reasonable level of suspense. Writing it in the first person as if it were the protagonist's journal was reasonably effective and could provide an excuse for the lack of detail. There were quite a few characters who didn't contribute anything to the story but nonetheless it was a nice escape into the future with the technical side handled fairly well. Nonetheless, the plot was a bit too predictable for my

Originality! It's what first sucked me into the Harry Potter series and it's what sucked me into And the Stars Will Sing. Upon starting JK Rowling's now hugely famous series (no one had heard of it back then) I was struck by how Rowling had managed to invent so many new and fresh ideas, names and incidents in a genre that I thought had been mined dry. Michelle Browne has pulled off the exact same magic (no pun intended) with her debut novella, And the Stars Will Sing. I was immediately impressed

This is a wonderful book, smooth writing, strong characters, compelling science fiction landscape.I think this book is a 4/5 rating in my bookshelf, but my subjectivity played a trick on me. I wanted to pick it up thanks to an impressive review, that excitedly recommended it for originality. As a science-fiction addict, I always have this nagging question in the back of my head: how much more can be said, in a book on wormholes, and with starships, and traveling faster than light? That is, the
