Crownchasers (2020) by Rebecca Coffindaffer Fiction | Young Adult | Science Fiction, Fantasy, LGBT, Romance

Alyssa Farshot has spent her whole life trying to outrun her family legacy. Her mother sacrificed everything to bring peace to the quadrant, and her uncle has successfully ruled as emperor for decades. But the last thing Alyssa wants is to follow in their footsteps as the next in line for the throne. Why would she choose to be trapped in a palace when she could be having wild adventures exploring a thousand-and-one planets in her own ship? But when Alyssa’s uncle becomes gravely ill, his dying wish surprises the entire galaxy. Instead of naming her as his successor, he calls for a crownchase, the first in seven centuries. Representatives from each of the empire’s prime families—including Alyssa—are thrown into a race to find the royal seal, which has been hidden somewhere in the empire. The first to find the seal wins the throne. Alyssa’s experience as an explorer makes her the favorite to win the crown she never wanted. And, though she doesn’t want to be empress, her duty to her uncle compels her to participate in this one last epic adventure. But when the chase turns deadly, it’s clear that more than just the fate of the empire is at stake. Alyssa is on her most important quest yet—and only time will tell if she’ll survive it.

Sleeping on this book is an ACTUAL crime.

Holy shit, this is EVERYTHING I want the sci-fi YA books to BE and I don't understand why we're not talking about this book!! It was SO GOOD!!

We've got romance that doesn't overshadow the plot, we've got a solid female friendship, we have an epic planet-hopping puzzle chase, political intrigue, a beautiful handling of grief and regret and duty, beautiful LGBTAQ+ representation, and much more!!! The different aliens?? The worlds???? The past relationships between characters and all the characters being interesting and unique to themselves.

I had so much fun reading this. There was literally no part of this book that I wasnt interested or felt was slow. Alyssa was such a good MC to be with. I literally cannot wait to read the sequel!

Pilots are the heroes of what's left of the human race.
