Reviews

“In this tantalizing space opera debut, Hamilton weaves a thoughtful, self-aware story bursting with witty repartee and provocative romance.”

“This delightful debut is a space odyssey with just enough mystery and romance to keep readers thoroughly entertained.”

“Love finds you in the least expected places, even in other galaxies.”

  • Review by Arezou Amin, The Geeky Waffle

“The Stars Too Fondly brings with it a message of hope, one that resonates long after the last page, and encourages its readers to go seek that hope for themselves, even if it feels out of reach.”

“Vico Ortiz narrates a raucous space adventure rom-com with infectious energy… This lively story of friendship and queer romance is full of interdimensional danger and is heaps of fun on audio.”

“At its core a sci-fi novel, and yet simultaneously so much more… richly plotted and tightly constructed… a lens into the beauty and collectivism of found family and underrepresented LGBTQ relationships and experiences, a blending of genre and form, a sweeping intergalactic conflict… Cosy and funny and yet simultaneously deliciously complex and challenging.”

“A different kind of summer romance… Cleo and Billie’s love is going to follow you around for a while.”

“A triumph of a debut… The kind of book that will leave you feeling lighter, happier, and delightfully star-struck. For anyone seeking an escape to the unforgettable stories that can only unfold among the vast depths of space, this is not to be missed.”
