Reviews for Starquest: "The lovely, lovely descriptions never slow the action, but manage still to convey emotion and carry the narration forward. This is an incredibly original tale, and for all the science fiction trappings is truly a classic quest for love...” 'Snapdragon 'LONG AND SHORT REVIEWS~ "If you are looking for action, danger, romance, and love the science fiction then look no further than Hywela Lyn's futuristic romance, Starquest!";Denisse, THE PEN AND MUSE ~ "This is a wonderfully written book that will keep you on your toes and end with a big smile on your face.
