Editorial Reviews

Review

"In a universe where the word for spaceship is the same as for world, two women struggle to escape a perpetual war in this dystopic yet hopeful . This gripping book is both hard to read and easy to appreciate." (- STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly)

"One word will do it: Badass." (-- John Scalzi, bestselling author of The Old Man's War series and The Collapsing Empire)

"With mind-bending betrayals, heart-wrenching loves, souls and bodies driven to frenetic motion by war and hope, THE STARS ARE LEGION is a profoundly moving tale of self-discovery and self-construction in a world as wondrously layered as its unforge able protagonist." (― Ken Liu , Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Locus Award winner and author of THE GRACE OF KINGS)

"Grabs you like a gravity well and won’t let go. This is a dark, haunting, recursive tale, unlike any other space opera with which you’re familiar. Discovering Kameron Hurley’s work is like fi nding a whole new galaxy, and she is the star at its center." (― Chuck Wendig , NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of the Star Wars: A ermath trilogy and the Miriam)

"A visceral, optimistic mash-up of new, weird, and science fiction that is a cracking good read. Hurley has really leveled up." (― MaryJo Schimelpfenig , Powell’s Books)

"The Stars Are Legion is poised to be Kameron Hurley's mainstream breakthrough, but apparently no one told her. It's unlike any space opera you’ve ever read—a bizarro blend of New Weird adventure, political thriller, and body horror; and an intimate examination of two deeply damaged women. RIte’sa da sm voisreceral and violently angry as anything she's ever written, a ragged scream from the heart of a broken world—but one not past mending, if About the Author

Disjointed, poorly focused - is it a sci-fi or horror or political overthrow story? Most Recent Customer Reviews By Dogs & Horses TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE VOICE on December 23, 2016

Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? ) Not one of Kameron Hurley's best works I had such high hopes for this book.... world size star ships, battles for survival, a mystery in space.... what's not love? It sounds Kameron Hurley has written some very imaginative novels with like classic, old school Science Fiction Space Opera with some creative twists like an entire cast of women, worlds that are bio- strong female characters, so I was happy to have the opportunity to mechanical and a mysterious defection of the one world-ship Mokshi that involves the lead character's amnesia. review the Stars are Legion. Read more Published 1 day ago by Ian K. In reality, the first several chapters followed the description of the space opera that I thought I was settling in to enjoy. Yet, the plot and story devolved rather rapidly in a weird mish mash of horror, monster story, quest through lower "hell" levels for the lead, Zan Great Sci-Fi Book by Kameron Hurley about the (the amnesiac) and some sort of political machinations involving a secret plot and birth by the second main character, Jayd, on a edge of the... different world ship. None of these things really worked well together or tied smoothly to each other. This a case of a book that is Great Sci-Fi Book by Kameron Hurley about the edge of the trying to be too many things all at once and doing none of them particularly well. I never felt like I could visualize the actual world Universe...gripping and intense book.....excellent ! ships or their interior design/layout and that made it nearly impossible to suspend belief and immerse into the book.

By JLee VINE VOICE on December 21, 2016 self concious experiment in weird fiction... Read more Published 22 days ago by Mohe Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? ) This is a very imaginative, dynamic book. I wanted to like it more than I did. As it is, I admire the author more than I like the book. Still, a lot of people will love it. It will very much be a matter of taste. Search Customer Reviews Search Essentially, it takes place on the “outer rim” of the universe (a difficult concept in and of itself) where people live on ship-worlds, which appear to be mostly organic (or organic material over metal, perhaps, I’m not sure), all of which seem to be dying. The populace is all female, which is mostly relevant because they become pregnant and give birth to things as determined by what the world needs, so the offspring may be a thing (organic equipment, so to speak) or a person; but since the world is dying, it is most likely a thing or a person born “wrong.” Whole, viable babies have become rare.

The worlds are constantly trying to invade and conquer other worlds in the Legion in what seem foolhardy and catastrophic attacks, especially since none seem worth that much effort. There is a mention of one such attack that has been repeated hundreds of times. It is a very violent book.

People, and everything else, are recycled, although I am really at a loss here because the gruesome recycling center doesn’t seem to create anything. Maybe I missed something.

Much of the story involves two main characters, one of whom appears to be involved in some kind of a scheme regarding one of the other worlds. The other main character spends most of her time traveling through the levels of a world to return to a certain point, picking up companions along the way. She may or may not be working with the first character. Each level is separate and most inhabitants know nothing of the other levels. Read more ›

What Did I Just Read?

By Kort VINE VOICE on January 5, 2017

Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? ) Stars Are Legion actually reminds me of some of the odder sci-fi I noodled through as a kid. Sci-fi spawned in the late 50s, 60s, and early 70s. Books in which you're never are quite sure where you are and how you relate to the characters and story. In that way, it was a nostalgic trip back to the trippy heyday of odd sci-fi. Ms. Hurley's book shines there. Think Robert Silverburg and Stanley Kubrick. It starts off in the space opera mode, but I'm not quite sure it finishes up there. The setting itself is quite creative, living (and decaying) world ships, an all-female cast and so on. While it is an engaging read with a lot of visceral impact, I was left wanting after turning the last page. Not wanting a sequel, but wishing the story itself had been more fulfilling. Stars Are Legion was not my cuppa, but it may be yours.

~ Kort
