What Anderson has pulled off in "The Story in the Stars" is nothing less than astounding. Not only was I pulled into the story and interested in the fate of Dassa, I didn't constantly scoff and roll my eyes at the religious aspect because the author joins her topics logically.

The idea that God is greater than we could imagine was pretty heavy handed though Anderson's writing skill kept the reader from the feeling of being hit over the head. Dassa, the main character, is deeply religious and invested in her faith. Her culture and world though or not ours. There's also the idea that suffering is inherent in religion. There's a need to have faith in oneself and not believe what the "world" thinks of you.

Anderson's settings are vivid. At the start Gannah reminded me of a Neverending Story kind of landscape. Foreign and unique but familiar. Dassa puts on skates to cross to the palace and the image is called of a vivid wonderland but so empty and silent. The spaceship in which Dassa is cared for in the medical bay feels cold and impersonal. Her relationship with Pik antagonized but human. If you can find common ground with you enemy does that enemy become a friend? We run the gamat of emotions with Dassa as she embarks on a modern day "Pilgrim's Progress."

The Story in the Stars Gateway to Gannah Volume 1 Yvonne Anderson 9781936835041 Books Reviews

Amazed at the depth and insight within The Story in the Stars, I feel the careful offering through this novel to its readers will linger for a long, long time. At least it will with me. Almost like an allegory of conflicting cultures during another time and place, resembling sad historical incidents we (Earthers) have witnessed before in the name of racial intolerance, annihilation, this story is haunting yet triumphant. At times, when the tale turns grim, the author's eloquent style conveys a poignant spiritual message or notion that strikes your heart in a way that is both beautiful and unforgettable. I fell in love with the planet Gannah in all its savage yet striking ways. And I deeply appreciated the Hebraic tie-in to Dassa's world. You must read this book! If Gannah existed, I'd find a way to live there. I'm hungry to know more and can't wait until the second installment of Anderson's "Gateway to Gannah" series.
This book is clearly a winner from beginning to end. I had the joy of completing it in just a few nights of reading and was enthralled from start to finish. Yvonne Anderson introduces us to two main characters from formerly warring planets, Dassa a female leader on the formerly warlike but now desolate GANNAH, and Dr. Pik, the product of a romance between his mother, from the planet Karkar and his father, from our earth in the distant future. When I have read similar works, I have sometimes given up in confusion over the different kind of alien races, what they look like, what is characteristic of the different planets and or races. I found no such ambiguity in Ms. Anderson's exciting, poignant and insightful adventure. This is one of my two favorite of the past 12 months.
I love a strong female character. They don't come much stronger than Dassa. And yet, even she struggles with what God asks her to do in this epic sci-fi novel. How often does God ask us to do the opposite of what we would want to? When we are given the opportunity for blessing, we treat it as though it's an obligation we must suffer through.

Dassa, communing with her Yasha, wrestles with God in a Jonah-like manner, and receives her blessing. Peace and love - the true kind, not the hippy kind. )

At first, I had a difficult time dealing with the fantasy/sci-fi type names and language, but the author does a wonderful job of NOT over-explaining. Her characters are realistic and easy to relate with. Each one is individual and simple to differentiate between. The world-building in this epic is gorgeous, and the author created a place I want to visit again.

In the middle of the book, I felt the preaching got a bit heavy handed, but the author didn't stay in that tone, and moved on with the engrossing story that kept me riveted to my kindle. I found myself thinking about the book and wondering about the characters when I was doing other things. Honestly, I can't wait for the sequel, but this book worked great as a stand-alone, too.
@Andersons' profile said she was an author promoting her first book "The Story in the Stars" so I followed her on Twitter. After a lifetime travelling the world producing sporting events for TV I retired and wrote my first book about the 3 years I produced Candid Camera. I was Tweeting for potential readers. I kidded Yvonne with "U by mine I by urs" and we made a deal. I went to the and bought The Story in the Stars with one-click. "Read it now! In the Cloud" offered and I decided to read the first chapter. I was flabbergasted by the wonderful rhythm of her words as she introduced Hadassah hanging off a cliff gathering berries that only grew in this special place. SciFi, I said to myself, I hate SciFi. She had promised no vampires, no zombies but didn't mention SciFi. Yes, but this was wonderful scifi, three dimensional characters, marvelous story line, exciting space travel, bloody action. Surprise after surprise. Dr. Pik, six foot eleven, he could never smile. His ears took care of that. Dr. Pik, a Karkan, a sworn enemy of Gannah, who, with Dassa becomes the backbone of the story. Then, within the story line, Yvonne weaves in the message of Christianity, not blatantly like the books of Terri Blackstock or constantly like Tamara Alexander, but seamlessly improving the narration not changing it. This brilliant author has given us a great read, an unforgettable cast of characters on a stunning stage. She has produced a true work of art. This progeny of a Jewish mother and Catholic father can't wait to learn more about life from the Queen of Gannah.
