Über diesen Titel

Odd-mannered, obsessive, withdrawn, Aster has little to offer folks in the way of rebuttal when they call her ogre and freak. She's used to the names; she only wishes there was more truth to them. If she were truly a monster, as they accuse, she'd be powerful enough to tear down the walls around her until nothing remained of her world, save for stories told around the cookfire.

Aster lives in the low-deck slums of the HSS Matilda, a space vessel organized much like the antebellum South. For generations the Matilda has ferried the last of humanity to a mythical Promised Land. On its way the ship's leaders have imposed harsh moral restrictions and deep indignities on dark-skinned sharecroppers like Aster, whom they consider to be less than human.

When the autopsy of Matilda's sovereign reveals a surprising link between his death and her mother's suicide some quarter century before, Aster retraces her mother's footsteps. Embroiled in a grudge with a brutal overseer and sowing the seeds of civil war, Aster learns there may be a way off the ship if she's willing to fight for it.

This is one of the best books I have ever listened too. I have struggled to finish it but only because I didn't want it to be over. This book contains so much wisdoms and hits places so deep within ourselves. I can only be grateful to have read it.

Amazing book

this novel provides that which has been lacking from a lot of new novels i've read recently - fleshed out characters and a somewhat captivating plot. performance was also very well rounded. i'll definitely be listening to more of Solomon's work.

I really enjoyed the story of the book. I couldn't predict what was going to happen for the longest time, which I always really enjoy. The speaker is great too and brings different characters to life by intonation and manner of speaking.

Absolutely brilliant
