Resumen del Editor
A dangerous cat-and-mouse quest for revenge. An empire that spans star systems, built on the bones of a genocide. A carefully hidden secret that could collapse worlds, hunted by three women with secrets of their own. All collide in this twisty, explosive space opera debut, perfect for listeners of Arkady Martine and Kameron Hurley.
Jun Ironway—hacker, con artist, and occasional thief—has gotten her hands on a piece of contraband that could set her up for life: proof that implicates the powerful Nightfoot family in a planet-wide genocide seventy-five years ago. The Nightfoots control the precious sevite that fuels interplanetary travel through three star systems. And someone is sure to pay handsomely for anything that could break their hold.
Of course, anything valuable is also dangerous. The Kindom, the ruling power of the star systems, is inextricably tied up in the Nightfoots’ monopoly—and they can’t afford to let Jun expose the truth. They task two of their most brutal clerics with hunting her down: preternaturally stoic Chono, and brilliant hothead Esek, who also happens to be the heir to the Nightfoot empire.
But Chono and Esek are haunted in turn by a figure from their shared past, known only as Six. What Six truly wants is anyone’s guess. And the closer they get to finding Jun, the surer Chono is that Six is manipulating them all.
It's a game that could destroy their lives and devastate the stars. And they have no choice but to see it through to the end.

Historia
High above a jungle-planet float the last refuges of humanity—plant-made civilizations held together by tradition, technology, and arcane science. In these living cities, architects are revered above anyone else. If not for their ability to psychically manipulate the architecture, the cities would plunge into the devastating earthrage storms below. Charismatic, powerful, mystical, Iravan is one such architect. In his city, his word is nearly law. His abilities are his identity, but to Ahilya, his wife, they are a way for survival to be reliant on the privileged few.

Maya Hoshimoto was once the best art thief in the galaxy. For ten years, she returned stolen artifacts to alien civilizations—until a disastrous job forced her into hiding. Now she just wants to enjoy a quiet life as a graduate student of anthropology, but she’s haunted by persistent and disturbing visions of the future. Then an old friend comes to her with a job she can’t refuse: find a powerful object that could save an alien species from extinction. Except no one has seen it in living memory, and they aren’t the only ones hunting for it.

When young Emily Brontë helps a wounded man she finds at the foot of an ancient pagan shrine in the remote Yorkshire moors, her life becomes contentiously entwined with his. He is Alcuin Curzon, embittered member of a sect working to eradicate the resurgent plague of lycanthropy in Europe and northern England. But Emily's father, curate of the Haworth village church, is responsible for having unwittingly brought a demonic werewolf god to Yorkshire forty years ago—and it is taking possession of Emily's beloved but foolish and dissolute brother.

Stunning debut
Wow it’s been a while since a sci-fi novel got me in such a chokehold. The plotting of this book is absolutely precise, with flawless execution and you feel instantly hooked from page 1. While it may feel like the author throws us head long into the middle of a story set in a galaxy spanning empire, it’s easy to get our bearings and then follow along with our characters on a (not so) merry chase from planet to station to ship and more, never being able to guess where it’s all going. The author does a masterful job giving us the details about the world, its governing mechanisms, the plights and prejudices of the people, as well as the motivations of the characters - all in little chunks through well placed flashback chapters, which we have to piece together like a puzzle to get the complete picture.
It’s the characters though who shine through and make us unable to turn away from the book. Esek Nightfoot maybe a cleric but she hardly behaves like one. She is obsessive, bloodthirsty, charismatic, impulsive and strategic all together and even when you feel like you hate her, you can’t stop yourself from trying to get to know her better. Chono is also a cleric but more righteous unlike Esek, but the dynamic they share transcends that of the usual mentor-protégé. To round off the trio is Six who remains an enigma throughout the book and we are chasing alongwith Esek and Chono to find her truth. And then there’s Jun, whose search for a memory coin that might upend the status quo of their world is what starts off this whole adventure, without anyone realizing the ultimate stakes involved. We also have other supporting characters who are equally well written and play very pivotal roles in propelling the narrative forward.
My memory these days is not very good but I think I still wanna say in the end that this might be my favorite debut of the year, and will definitely make it to my top ten list of 2023. This cat and mouse ride perfectly encapsulates the Chinese idiom “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind” and I promise that you’ll get all the thrills and drama and twists that you can ask for in this stunning sci-fi novel. And Natalie Naudus is one of the best audiobook narrators out there who ups the ante with her flawless narration. Don’t miss it.

Intriguing if a bit convoluted
I enjoyed the plot and the characters, and I really appreciate female-led storylines in sci-fi because they are so rare. I did not appreciate the complexity of the setting (multiple worlds) because it was overdone for my preferences. I get that the author wants to set up a series, but the investment in learning these worlds wasn’t worth while for me.
The writing was okay and the voice actor did a fine job. I wish the characters had been more interesting. They seemed two dimensional. But no regrets. I just don’t want to follow along to the next book, which was set up at the end.

Visceral, Passionate, Queer
The narration embodies each character's tone, mannerisms, and accent; which is good because this book writes evocative characters. Intricately paced, dripping with passion, caked with blood, this book is violently delightful to read

Great from start to finish!
I was so pleased with this book. First of all, I will listen to anything this narrator reads. I have never read this author before and I am hooked. The story kept getting better and better as each chapter progressed. Nothing was predictable and every character was perfectly flawed. So much anticipation when you had no idea where the story was going. I can't wait to read the rest of the books.

A tale of epic proportions
A story spanning a massive inter-stellar empire, an entrancing range of characters, politics, familial rivalries, corruption, religious tensions, layered personal back stories…this book has so much. It puts me in mind of Star Wars and Dune and Red Rising. Rightfully categorized amongst the great space dramas.
Violence and grit make it feel real and raw without being heavy-handed or over used for shock value.
I would be remiss not to mention how seemingly effortlessly this author folds ideology around gender into the world. How seamlessly and without ripple it’s done. Such a believable part of the world building it fades into the background of the story. It isn’t the focus of the story, or a point battering at the reader. It simply is. It is as natural, and as unremarkable as air in this story. Perfect. To show a different ideology around public approaches to gender is starkly refreshing. I hesitated to mention this in my review as, no doubt, a certain demographic of readers who will avoid the book out of bias, but recognition where recognition is due.
An astounding read. I will be eagerly awaiting the next in the series.

Outstanding Space Opera
The characters are masterful and while the story feels whole, the ending provides a glimpse of the rocket ship that will be the next two books. I highly recommend These Burning Stars and can’t wait for the sequel.

Twisty
I might have gotten more out of this as a print book, mostly to keep track of names, places, and times. The story is pretty twisty, and really quite clever and fun. This is more political thriller than Sci-fi, the focus is on the machinations (a word you will hear frequently) of the characters, it just takes place on multiple planets with advanced/different technology. First in a trilogy, it wraps almost everything up, but leaves room for further books. Recommended.

Starts slow, then drags you in
Really week on the science fiction aspect of sci-fi, it's barely there to just create the universe. The characters are the star of the show, and they steal it. I wasn't sure what to think at the beginning, but by the end I was engaged a hundredfold. Jacobs also did a perfect job wrapping up the story, you can feel complete having just read this and not ventured on in the trilogy. No BS cliffhangers here!
