Book Review: The Star-Crossed Saga: ProtoStar by Braxton A Cosby

Description From Amazon

It Starts With Choice! What would you choose: love or irrefutable duty? On the brink of Civil War, the Torrian Alliance continues with its mission to obliterate Star-children across the universe in order to suppress an intergalactic evil. Following the recommendations of his Council, King Gregorio Derry has agreed to send his only son on a mission to restore honor to his family. Bounty Hunter Prince William Derry has crossed thousands of light-years to planet Earth in order to fulfill this age old prophetic practice. The quiet days of Madisonburg, Tennessee are officially over as Sydney Elaine now knows the full meaning of the phrase 'Be careful what you wish for' when she is confronted by this strange visitor. As an unforeseeable event delays his assassination, William decides to study his target more closely and begins to form a 'connection' with Sydney that challenges his inner being. But this conflict is the least of his problems, as a conspiracy back on his home planet Fabricius threatens the lives of those he loves and his father's royal legacy. Along with that, he must unravel a hidden menace on Earth that threatens both his and Sydney's safety. Will William be able to complete his mission or will he choose love, sacrificing everything he stands for?

Review

Overall Feedback: Before I go all out into this review let me first state the obvious. Yes his last name really is Cosby and yes he is related to the great and legendary Bill Cosby. So instead of using his uncles fame and legendary status he decided to cut his own path and I say good for him. Now for the review. Cosby has written a Science Fiction Epic that seems to play very well for YA and maybe even a bit more for YA Females but I do believe that males will enjoy the story too. You can tell this is his first foray into the wilderness of Science Fiction writing but he does well enough to draw you in and make you eager for more in what could make a great series. I found myself enveloped in a great story albeit a story a bit below my age group. If you are a Science Fiction nut and want to raise Science Fiction nuts, here is a good start for them and an easy way for you to relate.

Point of View: The point of view goes between some of the characters but is needed for the storyline. It only adds and never detracts.

Voice: You will recognize the voice from a new face.

Character Development: Spot on and you will come to care for his modern Romeo and Juliet just as much as you have in any previous "like" story.

Plot: Although we have an overall plot that has been beat more than any dead horse can we find ourselves taking a journey through a great story that has never been told.

Dialogue: If I were to be a Star Child or an Alien Prince, I could imagine that this is how I would hold conversation.

Pacing: For a Space Romance this book introduces more than it's fair share of twists and turn especially at the end.

Setting: Feels so real you can see, feel and hear it.

Continuity: Braxton is flawless in his prose.
