Toward the middle, it started to lag a little bit for me.
In the beginning, I was so intrigued by learning about the world and everything that I was turning the pages eagerly. Yes, different being lived on different planets, based on how they evolved to live on the particular planets, but at several points in the book they were living together, side-by-side. I loved reading about the variety of beings in the world, and especially liked that you got to see them alongside each other. Taking the Anastasia story into space was such a creative idea! I really enjoyed seeing the way the story played out in outer space. I love the cartoon movie Anastasia and I was lucky enough to snag tickets to the see the play in a couple of months, so I am all about this story! The tote bag I carry to work every day is even Anastasia themed (I won it from the theater.) So as soon as I learned what this book was about, I was all in! She will find and rescue Clio, even with the whole galaxy on her trail.
With everything she knows threading away into stars, Stacia sets her heart on a single mission. Pol smuggles her away to a hidden escape ship in the chaos, leaving Clio in the hands of the Union. When Stacia is identified as the lost princess, her provincial home explodes into a nightmare. The Direktor claims that Princess Anya is alive, and that Stacia's sleepy village is a den of empire loyalists, intent on hiding her.
That all changes the day a Union ship appears in town, carrying the leader of the Belt himself, the Direktor Eminent. She spends her days half-wild, rambling her father's vineyard with her closest friends, Clio and Pol. But Stacia doesn't think much about politics. Every member of the royal family was murdered-down to their youngest child, Princess Anya-and the Union government rose in its place. Sixteen years ago, rebellion swept the galaxy known as the Belt of Jewels.
