I thoroughly enjoyed Qeya. It's a Sci-fi space travel adventure, but has all the great elements of action, romance, and fantasy stories. I believe it's categorized as young adult, and while it is appropriate for YA audiences, it definitely crosses over so all science fiction fans can appreciate it.Qeya is stuck on a mining ship after her royal family was forced from their home world. Though she and her brother are next in line to lead their people, she's essentially baby sitting until the ship is attacked and they crash land on a new world. Now she and the children must put their years of training to use to survive, with no more than the help of a "filthy" miner.The wold building is fantastic, plot compelling, and characters interesting and (especially in the case of the children) highly entertaining. Jennifer Silverwood is an author to watch.
