Review by chanine_d -- Steel Reign: Flight of The Starsh...
[Following is a volunteer review of "Steel Reign: Flight of The Starship Concord" by Braxton Cosby.]
Steel Reign: Flight of the Starship Concord is a sci-fi action novel written by Braxton A. Cosby. It follows the story of Steel Reign, the protagonist, who embarks on a journey to save her sister, Olia. He plans to go on solo, but an unexpected companion offered assistance to help him succeed. Through this person, Reign met more people to add to his spontaneous quest. The ending gives of a plot twist, a surprise for the readers who hopes for Reign’s triumph.
Upon reading the first chapter, I am overwhelmed by the terminologies that the author used to describe the fictional world of the book. It involves a futuristic depiction of the universe, and those terminologies were thoroughly explained throughout the whole book. Though well explained, understanding Reign’s world felt like reading a long description of things that you’re obliged to understand. It would have been better if the author wrote in a more engaging way to pique the interest of the readers.
Aside from this, the book has dialogues where conversations seem to turn opposite easily. From mad to coaxing, then suspicious to convinced. The change with the mood of the conversations are so sudden, that it made the dialogue unnatural. Another thing is that Reign’s monologues do not stay true to his character. He’s always described as this fearless man, yet his monologues are far from his established character in the beginning. He uses the adjective “cute”, something I find odd for a man who works as a spy for years. He also uses simile to describe a character “like a puppy”.
In my opinion, what I liked the most is the stealing of the Concord. It brought an unexpected team, something that Reign doesn’t do-working with companions. These characters made the book a little bit more interesting. The spaceship, the Concord, also brought amazement to me because of its features and wide possibilities. On the other hand, what I disliked the most is the description of women in the book. It could have been acceptable to read monologues about a woman’s figure when the characters meet prostitutes, but Reign graded every woman in the book based on their physical appearances.
I rate it 2 out of 4 stars. There are no errors in the book and though there are parts that I didn’t like in the book, it has a good plot. I would recommend it to young readers who are interested in books about sci-fi world and an action packed story.
