Where Starlight Burns has a deceptively cosy feel, even though both MCs have gone and are still going through rough times. It reads easily, almost lightly. The romance is very sweet and evens out the hard topics.

When she starts her new job on Victory Station, Dr. Corinth Nova, aka Cori, is shocked to find that her predecessor didn’t treat every patient with the same respect. Sex worker Aster Moss was considered low priority despite being a regular, because of the work she did and who her clients were.

A love story set far from Earth, in a future that allows the author to incorporate technologies and traditions unknown to the reader, Where Starlight Burns, plays on both the exoticism of space and the familiarity of romance. The latter is a tad rushed at times but I didn’t mind. I liked the MCs a lot, as individuals and together, and the side characters were good too. And I enjoyed the worldbuilding, the different planets, each with its own mood.
