I just finished a new book by author Lindsay Buroker. Fractured Stars is another great space opera seemingly set in the same universe as her Fallen Empire and Sky Full of Stars series. Although this book is said to be a standalone, I seriously hope there are more books to come for these characters.
One thing I really liked about this book was that the main character, McCall Richter is firmly on the spectrum. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t interesting or a complex character. Ms. Buroker has a talent of creating unique and multifaceted characters that come alive on the page and this book is no exception. Her females are always strong, smart, and wholly likable. They also typically have a certain quirk that endears them to their love interest.
Lindsay Buroker is one of my all-time favorite authors and I highly recommend checking out this book or one of her many other series. If space opera isn’t to your taste, don’t worry she writes in several different genres. She even writes romance under the pen name, Ruby Lionsdrake. One thing all of her book have in common is strong story, great characters, and a touch of her unique sense of humor.
I don’t normally recommend books that are exclusive to a single retailer. The reason I’m making an exception here is because there are other ways to get her books before they go on sale by becoming a pateron on her Patreon page. She releases books early through the Pateron site, and in multiple formats. She also typically takes her books wide once the initial three month enrollment period is over.
