My Ratings 4.5/5

Synopsis
Star Wars meets Lord Of The Rings in this epic science fiction adventure. Jeremiah Bradford was just a mechanic's son living on Movaria, in bustling Canvar City, when his father passed away, leaving him a family heirloom wrapped in mystery. Little did he know that what his father left behind would start him on a journey to unravel the truths of the stories he grew up with; stories of a good creator and a primordial evil bent on dragging the world into his darkness. Follow Jeremiah and his companions as they face the violence of a universe divided and come to grips with the darkness within and without. Through tragic losses, space battles, and the secrets of the past, Jeremiah wrestles with his own calling and the fear that keeps him from becoming the hero his father always believed he could be.

My Thoughts
The Bright Abyss by Jacob Hess This *is* the book you’re looking for. A long time ago in a movie theater far, far away, Star Wars: The Force Awakens arrived and blew you away. It had it all: action, high stakes, characters to fanboy/fangirl over, friendship, cute little robots, Harrison Ford, Daisy Ridley, more high stakes, okay, we’re getting carried away. The point is, it was AMAZING.
While you could spend all that time re-watching the original movies (we’re going to pretend the prequels never happened) and angrily staring at your calendar wondering why the days are passing so slowly, you know what else you could do? Read ‘The Bright Abyss book to make the wait a little more bearable! So, without further ado, we present our favourite of book to fill your ‘Star Wars’ craving! The Bright Abyss by Jacob Hess. 

You may well be looking at this book because of it's cover art. I know that's one of the things that drew me in. This book is beautiful inside and out. It has excellent world building that allows you to visualise the planet they're on but also to understand a little about the wider universe they live in without overwhelming you with information. This is a beautifully written SciFi space opera, with elements of the fantasy adventure. The plot is very much survival-based, and in the course of the novel the relationship between the characters grows, which makes this book stand out. The writing is beautiful, the descriptions are exceptionally well done, without any elements of purple prose; it flowed exceedingly well. The relationship between characters was well built, and completely believable, although a little overwhelming at times given the environment and the situation.

The Bright Abyss is a timeless story about hope and survival in the face of unthinkable odds. One of the most intense, thrilling, and achingly beautiful story I've ever read.

Highly Recommended!
