Publisher's summary

Kia stands alone against an intergalactic empire. With everything she loves destroyed, she wants revenge.

When invading forces annex the planet Emankora, Kia’s family is murdered, and she is sentenced to slavery in the asteroid mines. Surviving the harsh treacherous conditions takes grit and tenacity, but when the emperor’s son tours the facility, she inadvertently saves his life.

As a reward, the heir offers her the opportunity to enter the ranks of his personal elite guards, but with 19 other ambitious candidates vying for the vacant positions, she faces intense competition. Driven by powerful emotions, Kia unfalteringly pursues her goal of assassinating the heir and avenging her loved ones.

Great sci-fi dystopian

What a fun, fast-paced, exciting book. Teagan writes really well in this genre. I enjoyed this book immensely.
It's teen safe, family road-trip safe, but exciting enough that your teen will want to read it. Well-written dystopian is like cake to me. This book is cake.
I'm a fan!
I struggled with the narration a little. It might just be that the narrator needs to invest in better equipment.

Enjoyable read

Stars & Ashes (The Saoirse Saga Book 1), my fifth read/listen from author Teagan Kearney & the first book in her new series, The Saoirse Saga. Apryl Renee West's narration adds to the well-written book's enjoyment. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I look forward to book 2 in the series, in fact it's my next read. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Compelling Sci-fi

This is the first book that I have read by Teagan Kearney. She is quite imaginative and good at world building. Her believable characters are complimented with unique personalities, voices, and behaviors. It was easy to make an emotional connection to her characters. The plot is fast paced with plenty of action and adventure. The performance by Apryl Renee West enhanced the written word nicely. I look forward to the next book in this series. I was provided a free review copy of this audio book and am voluntarily leaving this review.

can't wait for the next one!!

Teagan Kearney, thanks for a fine Sci Fi experience with an open end and promise for more. I thoroughly enjoyed this one from the first paragraph to the tantalizing ending. I am sure (if this work is an indication) that the next book in the series will be credit worthy.

It's not where she's going, but how she gets there

A lot of action getting from one place to another. I especially liked the abbreviated fight scenes. I will be waiting for the rest of the trilogy.

really enjoyed this one

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I really quite enjoyed this book. It is full of action and has a great female main character. Definitely worth checking out if you like a good sci fi story with good narration.

Don't judge from the beginning

From the way the book started I though it would be a bit of a flop. The narrator is ok, but it could be better and that first part surfers a bit because of that too. Anyway, when the two main characters finally meet and a bond is formed things finally start to get interesting, but you will not guess what will happen after that. The twist that takes us to the end of the this first book is sooo worth the wait. Really. It definitely makes up for everything. In the end, I can't wait for the next book. At the rhythm the story is progressing it can only be great from the start.

Very enjoyable action, romance, sci-fi

I enjoyed the main female protagonist and her personality. The story wasn't bogged down with romance but had just enough. The premise of The Empire is interesting and there are cultural and character development throughout the story.
