• It was decent. Good, in fact. It just didn't really leave me really wanting more. I mean, I want to know what happens next, but not that urgent. The author is great with details, but maybe a little too much? Do we really have to know that Min DROPPED her chop 'o sticks, PICK the up, and bonk her head? Wouldn't it be easier to say 'I took some time to get my utensils' or something? Do we really need to know at all? Can we skip the conversation in the first place? The conversation was interesting enough, but I don't think we need THAT much information. For like, 75% of the book, Min is posing as a dead soldier still thought alive, for NO reason!! 'You sacrificed your life for me! I help you!' and the ghost of the dead soldier is like 'Ok! If you fail…I HAUGHT YOU FOREVER. MUAHAHA!' Ehm. Ok…(…(……)……)……(………(…………)…(………)…)… -_-
  I understand that Min was on the battle cruiser the Pale Lightining for a long time, but do we actually have to hear her talk about scrubbing toilets so precisely for like 10% of the book? I little bit easier on the side stuff and more on the juicy steak you know! I don't know why the ghosts didn't savagely attack Min, Hanuel, and the goblin (I can't remember her name! It's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember!). Maybe because of Jun is with them? Maybe the ghosts sense something different? Maybe there is an aura that's different about Min than others? Will there be answers? Why am I so confused? I don't…know?(??(??(??)????)?)??(????)
  I loved the author's craft, however. It's a perfect blend of sci-fi, Korean mythology, and a young child's struggle against the world of the unknown. I would reccomend it, but it's sometimes reeeeeeeeeeeeeally slow, while such at times, it goes veeery quickly. It all comes together and it's all a happy ending. Meow!
  
  Peace out, and wear your seatbelt!

• I really liked the book. It is a fun book and I could not let go of it. None of your predictions come true. The book is full of surprises. It always makes you curious about what is going to happen next. The end is kind of sad. If you like Rick Riordan books, you will enjoy this one too. I hope there will be more of the Rick Rioardan Presents Series. I would recommend the book to everyone who has time to read it.
• What a thoroughly enjoyable read!
  
  Yoon Ha Lee's latest is a middle grades (gr. 3-7) space opera novel based on Korean mythology (plus fantasy).
  
  Hang on for the ride as thirteen-year-old shapeshifter Min sets out to rescue her older brother Jun, who the government has informed her family has deserted from his Space Forces starship and is currently missing!
  
  Fortunately, Min and her family are fox spirits (which includes being magic users). Min has been firmly instructed by her mother all her life to never use her magic but rather must remain human all the time to avoid discovery.
  
  Magic, however, is the best tool Min has if she's to save her brother!
  
  Highly recommended for plenty of action,space battles, pirates, etc.!
• When Min the fox-spirit goes in search of her brother... she somehow gets involved with saving the world. Amid explosions, shape-shifters, and trickery, she's single-minded about her mission. And it's a wild and enthralling ride
• Another lovely journey from YHL.
  A delightful and resourceful young girl has an amazing adventure in the Stars to find out the truth about her brother listed as MIA (deserted) from the space force.
• This Book Was Great. The Characters Were Well Writen. I Do Think That Some Parts Of The Book Were A Little Dull, And Boring But Overall Its A Great Read For Kids And Teens. "Starwars + Changers (The Gathering Storm) + Percy Jackson = Dragon Pearl. There Is Sometimes A Little Twist And Sometimes You Can See Whats Going To Happen. If Your Parents Are Trying To Make You Read More Or If You Just Love Reading This Book Is For YOU!
• Magic and engineering and a rich, nuanced world that doesn't feel like retread of old tropes. I loved how brave, uncertain. And clever Min was when trying to juggle solving a mystery and growing attached to people she was decieving. (In spaaaaace!)
• I felt like some of the solutions just fell in her lap and I would like a bit more historical context or folk tales. I'm definitely reading the next book though and am interested in seeing the universe fleshed out more!
