Petty criminal Zara Cole has a painful past that’s made her stronger than most, which is why she chose life in New Detroit instead of moving with her family to Mars. In her eyes, living inside a dome isn’t much better than a prison cell. Still, when Zara commits a crime that has her running scared, jail might be exactly where she’s headed. Instead Zara is recruited into the Honors, an elite team of humans selected by the Leviathan—a race of sentient alien ships—to explore the outer reaches of the universe as their passengers. Zara seizes the chance to flee Earth’s dangers, but when she meets Nadim, the alien ship she’s assigned, Zara starts to feel at home for the first time. But nothing could have prepared her for the dark, ominous truths that lurk behind the alluring glitter of starlight.

This book started slowly and I gave up on it once. When I found the audiobook, I decided to try again. I’m glad I did.
Humans are selected to live aboard a sentient alien ship. Thinking about a ship having vessels and blood and needing starlight to recharge was fascinating. Once I got past the initial selection and the introduction to our “thief”, the story picked up. There were some things that were a bit uneven. One of the girls is giving a pretty solid backstory while the other is just there. We do learn about each of the them, without being info dumpy. I liked the characters and the building of relationships amongst them.
It was a really good beginning and I look forward to seeing where the story goes.
