A Space Girl from Earth (The Kyroibi Trilogy Book 1) Kindle Edition

Yesterday, her biggest worry was failing an exam.
Today, it's saving the galaxy.

From her six foot four inch height to the uniform white dots that peppered her skin in perfect geometric patterns, Ellie Whitmore was certainly unusual, but an alien from the other side of the galaxy? Of course not. That's just what the tabloids said to sell papers.
Or so she thought.
Turns out not only is Ellie an alien, but an ancient and powerful relic housing the forbidden knowledge of a lost civilization is hidden deep within her genetic code. Suddenly she's on the run from a malevolent Emperor who sees her as the key to ruling the galaxy. Even her own mother can't resist the draw of ultimate power and the one person Ellie might be able to trust is an unrepentant assassin who may be responsible for her life’s upheaval. Now, she must travel to a distant planet and unlock the secrets to restoring peace and ending tyranny.
But how can anyone expect her to save the galaxy when she can’t even pass organic chemistry?

5.0 out of 5 stars A great beginning to the series
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2018

This first book in a series is a fine tale and a great beginning. The characters are well developed and it has a well-written plot. I also love the cover so kudos to the artist.
Ellie, the space girl of the title, learns some life-changing facts about herself and her family and has to come to terms with that all while dealing with a nefarious enemy out to conquer the galaxy. There're aliens, action, surprises, a little romance, and the feel of a good old-fashioned space opera.
What’s not to love?
I recommend this book to anybody who likes a good science-fiction story (or want to read one for the first time!)

I enjoyed the characters, but especially Ellie. I felt like the book should have been longer to more fully develop them, but then I guess they’re saving that for sequels. There was perhaps too much wandering about the universe.

3.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Relate
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2017
Verified Purchase
Maybe it is because I have been reading Sci-fi for so long, but I wasn't as impressed with this book as I wanted to be. Maybe it is because I have to read using Text-to-Speech and I miss a lot in that process. I just couldn't get into this book. I didn't care for this girl raised by a super model. Yawn!

To find out that the daughter is from another planet and possibly a princess? Still didn't care. I think the only thing I really felt her heart and soul was her feelings for the assassin-bot. But even that didn't do much for me.

I did like the idea of being able to transport to other places and feel things through the strange 'freckles' but once again, I liked the ideas present, still not the characters. Please, why do main characters have to be the most beautiful? Most people aren't How do you expect regular people to like the character when they can't relate at all?

I did appreciate the chance to read this.

If you pay attention to me (which isn't many of you) you'll know how much I love Christina McMullen's work, expansive as it is. Nothing about that has changed with A Space Girl from Earth. I love the sci-fi genre, but generally find sci-fi books to be rather tedious and boring. Soooooo much exposition on races and histories and blah, blah, blah. Snoozefest. But then here comes Christina and she gives a big ol' middle finger to all that noise. Sure, there's all the necessary back story to give a reader any knowledge that they need to follow the story, but it's not bogged down with all the superfluous higledy pigledy. The story is fast-paced, entertaining, and well written. Another slam dunk!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun space adventure
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018
A Space Girl from Earth is a fun adventure from various places on Earth (including Pripyat!) to the far reaches of space. It’s well-written and complex with an interesting foray of characters, filled with unexpected twists that make it hard to predict. Great for YA readers who like a space opera flair, quirky main characters, and a touch of family drama!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another win for Christina McMullen!

A Space girl from Earth is a slam dunk! To start off I will admit I love all of Christina’s past work and this book is no different. This book a quick great read that kept me glued to my seat on my cruise. (That’s right I read this book on vacation!) The only drawback is the other installments are not out yet.

But let me get serious. What really drew me to this book… The cover, I first fell in love with the cover because as a woman of color it’s nice to see my skin tone portrayed in a positive manner.

The Girl on the cover: Ellie

Christina is wonderful at creating strong female characters who if need be can stand on their own two feet and Ellie is no different. Ellie is a fully flushed out main character thrown into a world that should have been hers but is not her own. She navigates and deals with all the stress and trials with her new life.

This book also introduced me to my new book crush, Julian….. I love a mysterious man. Julian was a controlled but passionate character who drew me in once I met him. I must say I am a bit jealous that I can’t meet him….

A space girl from Earth is great start to an amazing trilogy that is soon to come…and I can’t wait!

This was a great idea for a story. Elllie, the main character, was fascinating. And what she became was really cool. I want to know more about her adventures.

Common plot : average high school girl becomes extraordinary hero. But in a rather uncommon way. Well worth your time

Thanks for the book!

I really enjoyed the universe that McMullen created. The aliens and alien tech and crazy motivations were all intriguing. Also: Just what the doctor ordered, reading-wise, in these crazy times. Looking forward to book 2!

This is a fast-paced, action-packed entertaining read that bursts at the seams with ideas and a generous amount of wit. The characters are memorable and likeable, making it an easy and fun-packed read. This is book one of a trilogy, and I can't wait to read the next installment. If you enjoy YA sci-fi with a dash of tongue in cheek humor and a touch of romance, you'll enjoy this for sure.

Reviewed in Germany on October 17, 2017

I loved the concept of the Kyroibi and Ellie's role in the story, and the constant play between the "alien" and "human" aspects of the plot. I've found a book boyfriend in Julian as well :) There's enough "hook" to lead into the next story without the exasperation of a cliffhanger. Absolutely flawless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice space adventure
Reviewed in Germany on May 10, 2018

This is a unique story and I enjoyed most parts of it, especially when Julian was around and the parts which reminded me of Star Trek. But Ellie's family history and Space conflict explanations were a bit lengthy. Apart from the grandmother confusion - which is intended because Ellie goes through this herself - I could easily distinguish between the quite many characters. Which is a good thing because I often get lost in books in which there are many characters. Some of the names are quite long and full of Ys and apostrophs so I don't want to have to read them aloud. In all a solid and entertaining read, especially fit for young adults.

I loved this. Aliens and 'others'. To say too much about the story would be to spoil it for you. So I won't. I will just say that the complexity is fascinating and I would highly recommend it. Read it. You will be surprised
