5.0

I was hooked on the book because the plot was unbelievably good and I had to know more about the mysterious place they ended up in.

It would be nice if there was more romantic chemistry between them.
  It was a bit awkward how they quickly fell in love with each other, considering how long it took for the story to unfold.
Nevertheless, it didn't diminish how endearing each character was on their own. There wasn't a moment where I had any doubts about their motives.

I didn't realize it was a series for some reason, but now I am excited to read the next book!

I honestly wanna give it 2 stars, bc the plot was kinda dull, even though I wad interested in the story. But the last 180-150 have some interesting stuff, although very rushed and underdeveloped for me. The characters are okay with some shining moments (conversation Lilliac with her father? kinda banger ngl) 
But I also recognize that I'm far from targeted audience and the book wasn't horrible and it distracted me, so solid 2.5-3 stars. I will give a go the rest of the trilogy, bc im interested in the world.

I was in the mood for a cliche YA and this definitely gave me all of the vibes for that. So yes, I did end up really enjoying it because it was exactly what I was in the mood for!
While I struggled with Lilac's character at a couple parts, I have huge respect for her character and the growth. I mean, girl hiked through the woods in stiletto heels after a space pod crash!? Damn. And I really liked Tarver and how their relationship developed.

It is basically all about their relationship but I didn't mind. There was enough of a back plot to keep you interested, but it is very character and relationship driven.
I'll probably read the other 2 at some point because I hear they explore more of those background pieces that I am very intrigued by!
