When readers first encounter Lan and her alien crew, they may wonder how author Ryka Aoki can pull off a story that is at once soul-bargaining-with-demons and refugee-aliens-building-a-stargate.
Katrina opens the novel with her flight and her passion for music Shizuka comes in quickly after with her soul-contract deadline and her desire to find one last musician to condemn to hell. Light from Uncommon Stars is the story of how these three women’s lives intersect, and is a novel filled to the brim with music so beautifully described, readers can almost hear it in the narrative. And Lan Tran and her crew are striving to build a stargate-before the Galactic Empire falls to the Endplauge-while selling donuts at Starrgate Donuts in Los Angeles. Young violinist Katrina Nguyen needs to escape her homelife, where her transness is rejected by her family, and to start anew, hopefully making videos with her music. Shizuka Satomi, a violin teacher known as the Queen of Hell, owes one more soul to demons due to an infernal bargain she struck.
