출판사 설명
A dying jungle tribe. Mysterious secrets falling from the sky. Is one girl the key to everyone’s survival?
Kaishi pleads to her god for a different future. Not allowed to become a priest and not wanting a husband, the naïve young woman refuses to bow to tradition as she prays for a way to save her family. And when the answer comes in a blaze of light, she discovers a voice in her head promising to lead her tribe to salvation.
As her new role as priestess captures the attention of an empire, Kaishi embarks on an unknown journey leading to increasing power or, if proven a fake, her end. But her efforts begin to attract the wrong kind of attention from beyond the stars. The kind with claws.
Will Kaishi’s quest put her people in danger of extinction?
Starshot is the gripping first book in The Skyward Saga space opera series. If you like complex characters, fast-paced action, and alien invasions, then you’ll love A.R. Knight’s science fiction adventure.

Starshot
This novel chronicles the life of Kaishi, a simple daughter of the priest of her primitive tribe, and Sax and his quartet of humanoids bent on scourging a parasitic species from the universe. At first, it feels like reading two unrelated narratives but then hints of their paths crossing come into play.
In depth world building and character construction make this book compelling. I may have benefited from drawings of some more complex species though.
Odd two story line book
The book has 2 plots that do not come together until the the final pages and leads to the next book in the series
