Horn Book Review

The attempted assassination of Crown Princess Rhiannon Ta'an forces her to flee into space rather than avenge her family's death. Rhee's perspective alternates with Alyosha's, a black male refugee, soldier, and reality-show star framed for Rhee's supposed murder. Across-planet manhunts and romance ensue. While this debut novel's characters are oversimplified, the premise and outer space settings will engage fans of Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles. (c) Copyright 2018.
