Historia
Qi’ra listened to the dreams and promises of a boy with a reckless smile, only to be torn away from him and returned to the White Worms gang while Han made his way to freedom. Now freedom seems like a luxury she can’t afford while she concentrates on survival and despairs of ever leaving Corellia. But her fortunes seem to turn when a representative of the crime syndicate Crimson Dawn plucks Qi’ra from captivity and brings her to the syndicate’s leader, the mysterious and mercurial Dryden Vos.

Historia
Padmé is adjusting to being a wartime senator during the Clone Wars. Her secret husband, Anakin Skwyalker, is off fighting the war, and excels at being a wartime Jedi. In contrast, when Padmé gets the opportunity to see the casualties on the war-torn front lines, she is horrified. Meanwhile, with Padmé on a secret mission, her handmaiden Sabé steps into the role of Senator Amidala, something no handmaiden has done for an extended period of time. While in the Senate, Sabé is equally horrified by the machinations that happen there.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has not been apprenticed long to Qui-Gon Jinn, and he is chafing at Qui-Gon's training style: all meditation, no action. Obi-Wan yearns to prove himself on a mission, but when he and Qui-Gon are finally set to leave on an assignment, Qui-Gon is nowhere to be found. Angered by his master's abandonment, Obi-Wan sets out on the mission alone, determined to prove himself. On a mysterious planet he encounters a pack of feral, Force-wielding teens who seem to be the planet's only inhabitants.

With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop. The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her sometimes helpful child, who work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through.

Resumen del Editor
A thought-provoking new YA space adventure from the number-one New York Times best-selling author of Star Wars: Ahsoka.
Set on a family-run interstellar freighter called the Harland and a mysterious remote space station, E. K. Johnston's latest is a story of survival and self-determination.
Pendt Harland's family sees her as a waste of food on their long-haul space cruiser when her genes reveal an undesirable mutation. But if she plays her cards right, she might have a chance to do much more than survive. During a space-station layover, Pendt escapes and forms a lucky bond with the Brannick twins, the teenage heirs of the powerful family that owns the station. Against all odds, the trio hatches a long-shot scheme to take over the station and thwart the destinies they never wished for.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

She wants to know about the past--to experience it firsthand. Once she's dived the ship, she'll either leave it for others to find or file a claim so that she can bring tourists to dive it as well. It's a good life for a tough loner, with more interest in artifacts than people.

Historia
Centuries in the past, mankind fought a seemingly unbeatable adversary from sector to sector across the Spiral Arm until the war ground to a standstill and the Enemy withdrew. Believing that they had won, the citizens of the galaxy rebuilt. The Inner Worlds, which had escaped the worst of the war's ravages, became even more insular, while the Rim worlds adopted a free and easy way with law and order. Now, hundreds of years after their withdrawal, the Enemy is back - and this time they'll be satisfied with nothing less than the extinction of the galaxy.

One of Heinlein's best-loved works, The Rolling Stones follows the rollicking adventures of the Stone family as they tour the solar system. It doesn't seem likely for twins to have the same middle name. Even so, it's clear that Castor and Pollux Stone both have "Trouble" written in that spot on their birth certificates. Of course, anyone who's met their grandmother Hazel would know they came by it honestly.

The first book in C.J.Cherryh's eponymous series, Foreigner begins an epic tale of the survivors of a lost spacecraft who crash-land on a planet inhabited by a hostile, sentient alien race. From its beginnings as a human-alien story of first contact, the Foreigner series has become a true science fiction odyssey, following a civilization from the age of steam through early space flight to confrontations with other alien species in distant sectors of space. It is the masterwork of a truly remarkable author.

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Good short story
I usually listen to Star Wars storiesSo this was suggested because of Ahsoka. it took a bit to get off the ground but it picked up and carried a good story through the end. It'll need a sequel. or two. I could picture it becoming a movie.

I wish there was more.
Interesting premise, thought provoking, and tackles sensitive issues with the forwardness of a battle axe but the grace of a scalpel. The trigger warning at the start is warranted, though, even with the aforementioned grace with which those issues were addressed. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone with certain *cough* controlling *cough* political views on people's bodies, as this is a story about the liberation of bodily autonomy.
I wouldn't quite define it as SciFi, since I prefer to think of similar titles as space fantasy (think starwars) due to the existence of a magical system that doesn't necessarily hinge on an advancement in technology. That said, the technology in the universe is certainly more advanced than ours and the author entwines both to weave an intricate and fascinating backdrop for the story to take place in. Specifically I appreciated the unusual political circumstances that were enabled by the setting.
The protagonists were, perhaps, the most vibrant aspect of the storytelling. I quickly found myself very invested in their character arcs and struggles, beyond simply liking them. The story really shone in the small moments of celebrating simple agency and autonomy, brilliantly using the magical system to create a philosophical circumstance to explore the self-determination so central to the plot.
All in all, I think it was refreshing and tasteful. I've already seen a few reviews by people who get mad over certain issues that they insist are political and "irrelevant to the plot", but those sorts tend to get offended by anything that doesn't exclusively represent them and their politics; their reviews don't carry significant weight for this reason, by my estimation. My only real criticism is that it was too short and I was left wanting more.

Fantastic!
E.K. Johnston has produced another fantastic work!
This novel is fast-paced, thought provoking, and is permeated with a common theme of hope and rising above one’s circumstances. It emphasises the need for love and compassion.
Ashley Eckstein’s performance and voice were flawless!

Enjoyable Story, Takes off in Second Half
I'll do my best to be descriptive and not give any spoilers!
I'm not going to lie, the first 1/3 of the book wasn't holding my interest. There was a lot of factual world building that was a lot to take in, and there wasn't much indication of where the story was going - I love world building, but character development is my real jam, so world building sans character development is difficult for me. Once the main character Pent meets the other main characters, though, the story started to gain my interest and I thoroughly enjoyed the second half of the book. I'd be interested in reading a follow up story about the characters!
There is a warning at the beginning of the audio book, but if mention of intense calorie counting is triggering, you should definitely steer clear. The mentions aren't super detailed or for weight loss purposes, just mentioned frequently in the first 1/3 of the book as it's required for the lengthy voyages the ship takes and doling out the available nutrition is part of Pent's job. It is mentioned during the rest of the book, but a lot more rarely and even more vaguely than before.
I thought the way the story resolved was interesting and a bit unique, I was pleased!
I really liked the combination of ether and science fiction, the world is an interesting one for sure!
The writing is very straightforward so I think the audience could be as young as 12, but there are some more adult concepts - pregnancy and choosing what children are worth while for the ship, and a lot of emotional abuse by Pent's family, so it depends on the young adult whether it is an appropriate read. (I should mention that I'm an adult in my 30's.)
As for the audiobook reader Ashley Eckstein, I'm a huge fan, so I'm probably pretty biased, but I loved her reading the story. She has a fairly young voice, but it fits the characters so well.

A Good Story. Not A Big One
Aetherbound is the story of Pent Harland. It is set in a world that is intriguing and wonderful. A solid backdrop for any Space Opera story with room for epic battles, heroic sacrifices, and all manner of daring do. However, this story is not about those things. It is the story of Pent Brannic who at 17 years of age escapes from her family and finds that life doesn't have to be what you find at home. Life can be so much better.
I understand why some people could be disappointed by this. It is E.K. Johnston, the famed Star Wars writer in her very own IP and world. And like I said, it is a fun and intriguing world with an interesting mix of hard sci fi and actual, literal magic. If you go into this expecting a grand adventure you will be disappointed. If you go in expecting a story of damaged people who find ways to grow and accept themselves you will find exactly what you're looking for.
This isn't Star Wars. This isn't Star Trek. It is definitely not Battlestar Galactica. It's the Fisher King in space. It's the story of a girl escaping an abusive family to join a supportive one. And it is everything I needed with all the craziness in the world of late.

I- I wanted to like it? I did. Mostly.
I love the author, I adore the narrator, so I kinda just bought it blind lol. I had also heard amazing things about it on twitter and it seemed interesting. The book starts really really slow with a world building prologue, and then is split into 3 parts.
Part 1, the first 1/3rd of it, is absolutely fantastic. Building a word one intriguing bit of info at a time, figuring things out *just* (or sometimes well) before the character does and sharing in the horror of this weird world the author has dropped us and her into. Wondering how it'll work out, what will happen when the Long Awaited Day arrives.
And then part 2 starts and everything kinda just? works out? perfectly. for the rest of the book.
At first I was happy! The stakes in part 1 had set me up to expect a LOT of conflict and issues in part 2, and I was pleasantly surprised and happy for the character that everything was, for once, going well for her.
But then it just kinda, always went well? The stakes that had been so high before just disappeared with some bread and oil and charming boys lmao. To the point that by the time there *was* some conflict in part 3, I just was listening to it to finish it. I didn't care lmao. I still wanted them to have their happy endings, but the story had well and truly lost me.
That being said, the narration was FANTASTIC, the added bit of audio editing was a nice addition, and the world building, tho a bit clunky at times, was REALLY intriguing.
And the story, to be fair, probably would have appealed to me a lot more if I was the target audience. I am 28 now, and heckin love YA fiction (let's be honest, it's a genre all on its own that there isn't really an Adult version of, sadly) but I *am* a 28 year old woman and that will color my reception of, well, everything I consume lol.
So, 10/10 for narration and sound editing, 6/10 for story, a solid 8/10 for world building (more books set in this world would be fantastic, not gonna lie). But take my review with a grain of salt (/pinch of sugar? how does that saying go??). I don't regret buying it at all, my sister IS the target audience and she will likely adore it.

A short and interesting read with a different take
A failed invasion has left a network of connected space stations and a strange way of living, navigating between them. In a ship, where every resource counts, your meals will be even more subject to scrutiny... and it's worse if you expend your calories performing magic that has no purpose for the community. In this context, a girl will escape and find a new life among two people that will complement her and show her all that she was missing, where the partnership will bear all kinds of fruits.
Tragedy, as usual, will strike, and the girl's family will do all in its power to recover her...
A fantastic reading by Ashley Eckstein!

Good fun read – Johnston is great!!
This is the story of Pendt Harland, and it is a rather interesting read. It is broken down into multiple sections, starting with her life at 5yrs old, then a bit later, and then the second part of the story is around when she is 17-18yrs old.
Before I go too far with this review, I would like to touch on the subject of the content warning. Whilst this seems to have struck up a fair bit of controversy with some reviews, there is a very clear warning at the start of the book about a scene of medical violence, and about calorie counting.
As someone who has a child with an eating disorder, I thought the warning re calorie counting was clear enough – and represented what was in the book – there is a lot of discussion about food and calories, and I will cover why shortly.
As for the medical violence, without going into anything graphic, or giving things away, I personally did not think it was overly intense, or graphic, and I have worked with DV and Child Abuse as a Police officer for several years. Again, I felt the warning was more than satisfactory.
This is a Science Fiction novel after all, some level of violence is expected in such books, and if you are going to criticise the Author for having violence in their book, you could open a whole can of worms as nearly every Sci-Fi book has some form of violence in it, (geez, nearly all books do in some form these days!!), so it is unreasonable to single out one Author.
But enough of that – it’s enough to say, there is a bit of violence, be warned, and I have to be honest, if you do have an eating disorder, anything to do with calorie counting, or image issues relating to food, then this may not be the book for you.
The story starts with a young Pendt Harland, and we learn that she lives aboard a long haul star freighter, one that travels a specific route between a group of mining colonies, sharing resources, as well as dropping off people looking for work, and picking up unprocessed ore to deliver to space stations, where they pick up supplies and drop off the ore, as well as pick up people looking for work to drop off at the mining stations. The Harland ship is a slower ship, taking a long time to complete the route, but it is a larger ship, able to take a lot of cargo, both ore and people, making it worthwhile, as the newer faster ships just can’t carry anywhere near what the Harland can.
In this ‘Universe’ there is a thing called ‘Aether’, and people who can manipulate it. Different people can do different things with it. Some can use it to see how to travel amongst the stars. Some can use it to open gateways using mechanisms, and at the other end, great ‘nets’ to catch the ships, so that starships can be flung through space and caught at the other end.
There is a very detailed story about how this has all come about, but basically, it works out that young Pendt is useless on the ship, worth nothing to the crew, as she has no abilities that can help the crew. As a woman, she does have one use when she turns 18, she can be sold as a womb, so that she can breed a baby for someone, and make money for the ship.
And this is Pendt’s story – we see the terrible life she has aboard the ship, eking out an existence, in which literally every gram of food is counted, and if anything is wasted, she is punished. To the point Pendt is grossly malnourished as they feed her just enough so she can do her chores and not die, and nothing more.
Knowing the fate that is about to befall her, just before her 18th birthday, Pendt runs away, jumping ship at a space station. Unbeknownst to her, she has jumped off at a station run by twin boys, the Brannick Twins, who are in a bit of a situation themselves.
And this is where the 2nd part of the story comes in.
I won’t go into this as I don’t want to give anything away.
The character work by Johnston is outstanding, Pendt’s character is beautifully described, in great detail, as we learn of her life aboard first the starship and later the space station. You get caught up in her life and are fascinated by this young girls tale as she lives this life in which she is shunned and almost hated by a group that is meant to be her family, but because she doesn’t have any ‘Aether’ abilities that are useful to them, she is worthless, so they see her as a waste of good oxygen. They only keep her around so that they can sell her at 18 – she is a slave with a price on her head.
As she comes to realise this, and works out she has to run, the story really becomes intriguing, and from there, the pace picks up as she moves onto the station.
I won’t cover any other characters, simply as I don’t want to give anything away, but the other character work is exceptionally well done, Johnston continues to create powerful, and gritty Sci-fi as she has done for some time now.
The world building was really fascinating, although at times, it was a little out of place. It was in these blocks in between chapters, and at times, I was left wondering how it related to the main story. Having said that, each of the sections was really interesting, and I loved it, and I hope it has greater meaning to the overall series. As for the book, you really felt like you knew the Harland before Pendt left it, and Pendt’s exploration and discoveries of the station made it so you really understood the world she was part of there to. Overall, the world building was very detailed, bringing the story to life nicely.
This is a really beautiful story, one that is well worth the read (well to be honest, I would suggest the listen – Ashley Eckstein’s Narration is just beyond exceptional, and adds so much to the story, it can’t be missed!!). It is a really fun adventure of a young girl, growing up in pretty horrific circumstances, but finding two wonderful brothers, and starting a new adventure. But before that can happen, certain things have to take place – it makes for a great read, hope there is a sequel!!
Ashley Eckstein has the voice of an Angel, and is just so beautiful to listen to, I could listen to her tell any story for hours.
She just has such a wonderful Narrating voice, it Is so nice to listen to, so easy to listen to, and she has the best laugh.
On a serious note Ashley Eckstein has a very clear and concise voice, so that she is easy to understand, and she does very nice voices, both male and female, again, very easy to understand and distinguish.
She tells a wonderful story, easily conveying the emotional state of her characters, so that you can really understand how they feel.
Ashley Eckstein is a wonderful Narrator, and she has such a beautiful voice, she is one of those that I would buy her books just based on the fact she is Narrating, as she is so good, and her voice is so lovely to listen to. A must listen, especially with Ashley Narrating!!
