It was okay. I still haven't decided if I'm going to continue the series, not because of the story, but because of the tiny print. I don't know who made that choice, but it's a deterrent for me.
YA Science Fiction that focuses on action and the skills of the main character, no love triangle or insta-love in sight? YES! Does the world building excel? No, but perhaps the author held some aspects back for the 2nd and 3rd books. What did Earth Girl have going for it? Intriguing premise ...
A good read with interesting characters and an intriguing world. I actually got this book out of my local library so I will be requesting the second installment when I get the opportunity.

Just a girl defying the odds of racism in terms of space travel.Therefore, it was an easy read. Some par...
Actual rating: 4.5I started reading this book with less than stellar (I am completely incapable of writing a review without at least one bad pun) expectations.Really? I mean Earth Girl as a title? I know, prejudice against the title...Khanh, you stupid, immature little girl. I have my reasons, thoug...
