Just too young for me. I've officially hit "old."

Loved the cover but the writing style was not for me.

Really fun story, not sure I’ve read anything quite like it. Picked it up at random in a little free library, now excited to read the rest of the series.

I really enjoyed this book an I admit I didn't think I would. Space just isn't something I read about very often, sci-fi is not my usual genre but the cover for this book was too pretty to pass up. This is a young adult story with a little sprinkle of romance and no spice. This would be good for someone that likes coming-of-age stories with great diversity and representation. The book pulls off a dramatic but hopeful vibe and I found myself rooting for the Earthlings as their journey progressed. They (the earthlings) are all thrown into everything so quickly and I like the way the author dealt with the way each character grieved the change differently. Victories Greater than Death is a fast paced, plot based story with tons of unique detail and perspectives.

I didn’t dislike this story, but it just didn’t grab me as much as several other books that became available at the same time.
