Description
Ren grew up listening to his mother spin magical stories about the Star Hosts, a mythical people possessed by the power of the stars. When Ren is forced into slavery by the despotic ruler of his home planet fief, he is stunned to discover firsthand that his mothers folklore surrounding the Star Hosts is true; he is one of them. Armed with this knowledge and the aid of a fellow prisoner--an inscrutable member of the revered Phoenix Corps regiment named Asher--Ren learns to control his newly emerging technopathic abilities. While navigating the growing attraction between them, together they must plan their escape in time to alert the Phoenix Corps of the Barons intent to conquer the peaceful Drift Alliance before its too late.

A sweet Sci fi tale that was very enjoyable to read.
This is a perfect example of genre fiction and promises to be a start to a interesting series (I assume its to be a series as there were hints at the end).
A boy with strange powers leaves his simple village and has adventures! It's a sci-fi spin on the classic genre and plot we see in so many fantasy novels, but it does it well - this boy can interface with machines, with tech. He's a technopath, and the application of his power in the wider sense is expertly deployed.
This isn't an epic, world changing book, but I happily read it in an afternoon and would read another by the author.
Loved the fact that the love interest was lgbt, makes a major difference instead of the usual hetero fare.
