Calypso

by Catherine Thomas

Suddenly displaced from her home settlement in the rowdy, desert-situated, duel-crazy Gutshot, 14-yr-old Ari Dale finds herself on board the spaceship Calypso - a cargo ship travelling the Outer planets in search of work. Despite dealing with a mysterious crew, vengeful criminals and finally figuring out whether "she" wants to be "he", Ari is put to work on the ship and begins to understand there is more to life than what her old life in Gutshot ever had to offer her.

[Scott · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the story of a young girl to woman deciding who she is and how she fits into the world.

Once she has her answer, end of story.

Never mind all the little things we learn about the supporting cast. Don't worry about the history and intrigue implied about all the places she goes. And just forget the mystery of her beginning and why an old man is telling a tale about her like she is a legend of sorts.

All those paths to adventure are quietly discarded and we are left with an inward looking tale.

It could have been so so much more.

A very unique and clever book that focuses entirely on the main character and their character development rather than a generic story. The structure of the book is excellent and ultimately leaves several parts of the book up to the reader's interpretations.

(Love you sis!)
