Honor Among Thieves by Rachel Caine, Ann Aguirre

Honor Among Thieves (Honors, #1)

by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre

Meet your new favorite kickass heroine in this daring YA series by New York Times bestselling authors Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre, a thrilling yet romantic futuristic adventure perfect for fans of Claudia Gray’s A Thousand Pieces of You.

Petty criminal Zara Cole has a painful past that’s made her stronger than most, which is why she chose life in New Detroit instead moving with her family to Mars. In her eyes, living inside a dome isn’t much better than a prison cell.

Still, when Zara commits a crime that has her running scared, jail might be exactly where she’s headed. Instead Zara is recruited into the Honors, an elite team of humans selected by the Leviathan—a race of sentient alien ships—to explore the outer reaches of the universe as their passengers.

Zara seizes the chance to flee Earth’s dangers, but when she meets Nadim, the alien ship she’s assigned, Zara starts to feel at home for the first time. But nothing could have prepared her for the dark, ominous truths that lurk behind the alluring glitter of starlight.

Maybe 3.5 stars.

This book was... okay. There were definitely some interesting parts, like Zara's relationship with with Nadim (the ship). I quite liked that connection they had. But ultimately I didn't really connect with the story style and some of the ideas. A few elements felt kind of whimsical (like singing stars) and it just wasn't my thing I guess.

The book ended setting the stage for book 2, but the big "reveal" at the end didn't really excite me. I just don't think I'll be really interested in the rest of the series.

In short, it was a good book and I would recommend it if the synopsis makes you go HELL YEAH.
