Its good use of references and technical `sidebars' adds to the book and allows the nontechnical text to be used by ordinary readers in an easy fashion. – This wasn’t an overall funny type of book, but I did have some laugh-out-loud moments.The Starflight Handbook A Pioneer's Guide to Interstellar Travel "The Starflight Handbook is an indispensable compendium of the many and varied methods for traversing the vast interstellar gulf-don't leave the Solar System without it!" -Robert Forward "Very sensible, very complete and useful. – The found family aspect was sweet too-I always love that. – Solara and Doran’s friendship and then relationship were touching and sweet. And there was fighting but also a– The progression of Solara and Doran from enemies to friends to lovers was perfectly paced and completely believable. And there were a lot bad situations the characters got into but also some happy, fun ones (I loved their day at the festival <3). – There was lots of action but also plenty of slower moment. – The plot and backstory were complex, creative, and well-thought-out. – The whole cast of characters was likeable, kind of quirky, and eclectic, but in a lovable (rather than exaggerated) way. And both characters grew over the course of the story. Doran was terrible toward Solara at first, but he was intelligent in different ways, calm under pressure, and not all bad. Solara was intelligent and hardworking and had her priorities straight (I totally cheered when she took off the dress because that was the same exact idea I had, and I was glad she valued her life over her modesty because it is a major pet peeve of mine when characters would apparently rather die than let someone see them in their underwear). – Both main characters were likeable and developed.
