Review: Great idea, but reads like a first draft
Rating: 1 out of 5

The stars are actually the lights of cities in the sky, whose inhabitants, the Starlings, have long defended the humans of earth below.  But a new and terrible enemy is defeating the Starlings, and the stars are going out.Great idea, but the execution is mediocre.  Way too much explanation in the early part of the book, way too much head-hopping throughout.  Overall, the canvas seemed small.  The Starlings fill the sky, the humans fill the earth, but a few hundred people are a huge host.  And the love story was predictable and unimaginative.
