Review: The First Starfighter: Game 1


Review: The First Starfighter: Game 1, by Grace Goodwin, 4 stars




Starfighter Training Academy. It was just a game. The newest, hottest video game release of the year. Choose a role. Build the perfect hero who joins you on missions to save the Vega star system from the evil Queen Raya and her merciless Dark Fleet. Play for hours? Check.

Obsess over the in-game romance between your avatar and the sexiest alien you've ever seen? Check.

Win? Beat the heck out of the game? Check and check.

Open your door at 3:00 in the morning to find that smoking hot alien you thought you made up in your head standing there? Um... okay.

Wake up on the other side of the galaxy with that same alien insisting you're his... and that you haven't been playing a video game, but completed the training program to become the first Starfighter from Earth? Holy sh$t.


Genre: science fiction romance

Publication date: April 2021

Mature content: yes

Review: I found The First Starfighter interesting, easy to follow and fairly original. I have seen some reviewers saying the plot is similar to an 80's movie with the same name but since I've never saw it I'm not going to make assumptions.


 


I could have done without half the sex scenes and the insta-lust/insta-love between Jamie and Alex. If you skip those parts, then you're left with a lot of action and a science fiction world that is pretty convincing, so if you love the genre you should give this book a try.


Happy readings!
