¿A Goodreads Choice finalist for Readers' Favourite Science Fiction¿

'Come ... for Indiana Jones-style outer space heist adventure, stay for the sensitively drawn characters and thoughtful exploration of other forms of life far beyond our own' Veronica Roth
SAVE ONE WORLD. DOOM HER OWN.
Maya Hoshimoto was once the best art thief in the galaxy. For ten years, she returned stolen artifacts to alien civilizations - until a disastrous job forced her into hiding. Now she just wants to enjoy a quiet life as a graduate student of anthropology, but she's haunted by persistent and disturbing visions of the future.
Then an old friend comes to her with a job she can't refuse: find a powerful object that could save an alien species from extinction. Except no one has seen it in living memory, and they aren't the only ones hunting for it.
Maya sets out on a breakneck quest through a universe teeming with strange life and ancient ruins. But the farther she goes, the more her visions cast a dark shadow over her team of friends new and old. Someone will betray her along the way. Worse yet, in choosing to save one species, she may condemn humanity and Earth itself.

Adventure, mystery and a dash of existential dread
I was on the hunt for a book that had adventure, mystery and a dash of existential dread. That's when I remembered that I've been wanting to read The Stardust Grail for a while. And it absolutely delivered what I was looking for. At its core, The Stardust Grail is a heist story. But it is also so much more than that. Yume Kitasei has created a rich, sci-fi universe full of surprises, where the characters, despite all their good intentions, can never be quite sure if they're on the right side of history. I recommend it for fans of moving, weird stories with strong characters and memorable worlds, like those written by Becky Chambers, Martha Wells, and Jeff Vandermeer. As for myself, I'll be off reading Yume Kitasei's debut novel, The Deep Sky, and anxiously awaiting her 2025 release, Saltcrop.
