Starswept tells the story of Iris Lei, a young viola prodigy at a prestigious school for artists. She dreams of increasing her rank enough to gain a sponsor, someone who will pay off her school debt and allow her to live her life playing the instrument she loves. That is until she meets a young Adryil boy by the name of Damiul who teaches her that nothing is like it seems. Desperate to rescue Damiul from the dangers he is caught in, Iris learns about the true testament of friendship and love and finds a new purpose in her life. With strongly written characters and scenes, Starswept is a real page turner. I’ve never read anything like it before and I can guarantee it will be an instant hit with YA readers. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Iris is a student at a prestigious music academy, focused solely on pursuing her viola studies (and THANK YOU, Mary Fan, for picking a less-loved instrument like the viola) when she suddenly finds herself involved in a bit of intergalactic intrigue and romance. I really enjoyed the way the plot unfolded and revealed more about the other planet and government actions occurring and the way that was interwoven with artistic competitions at the music academy.
Another thing that was really great to see was the diversity in this book. A wide variety of characters of different backgrounds and races, and a good mix of male and female characters. Recommended for music and sci-fi lovers.
