Chloe says, "One of the most unique sci-fi books I've read this year, Light From Uncommon Stars follows four women, each with a unique set of circumstances: a transgender runaway, a violin teacher under contract with Hell, a luthier who inherited the family business, and finally, an alien spaceship captain who has assumed the identity of a human donut shop owner. These women's lives intersect in unexpected ways, and they ultimately come together to outsmart a demon. I came away from this book wanting to enjoy a donut in the park while listening to a Bartók violin concerto."
