Yeah this was okay but kinda lame. The story didn't fascinate me as much as the one in "these fallen stars" and theromance wasn't that great either. I don't have much more to say about this cause I feel like that would be a complete waste of time

To be honest this kind of dragged a lot for me until Tarver showed back up? It didn't feel as riveting as the first book, maybe because I didn't like either of the main characters nearly as much as Tarver and Lilac. It got better towards the second half but eh. Good enough to keep reading though, mostly to find out how it ends.

Consider me shocked
The plot point/twist that was in every Illuminae Files book and the previous book in this series didn't happen.
I actually might read more from Amie Kaufman now that I know that she doesn't use that element in all of her books.
We'll see how the next one does
Read Infinity and Beyond: Saturn - beautiful cover

These two authors can write, I mean it. Meagan Spooner and Amie Kaufmanhave succeeded again in creating two incredible protagonists and making every chapter exciting.
I’m loving the starbound trilogy so much so far.
It’s becoming a favorite, hopefully the last one will be as good as these two.
The second of the star bound trilogy is basically Romeo & Juliet moderated and futuristic sci fi version. Where the two main protagonists won’t die in the end, of course.
We follow our new heroes of this trilogy, Jubilee a captain who considers herself as a cold and soulless person after a trauma she experienced when she was younger and Flynn a leader of a rebellion whose older sister died of execution 10 years ago. Both from the opposite sides, and yet sparks grow between them and the rest is history.
I always find myself smiling idiotically where a main character from previous book appears as a cameo or a recurring character in the others. Reading about Tarver and Lilac made me so happy, I couldn’t help myself. And the fact they were engaged couldn’t made me happier.
The characters were so good, I liked them a lot. I just don’t understand one thing in YA fantasy books, the main character are only teenagers yet they act so mature and wise and responsible, but you know that’s why it’s fiction.
Plot hole:
In one of Jubilee’s dreams there was a moment where a picture of her family and her showed in front of her class and then a boy appeared between her parents and her in the picture and when the teacher asked who the boy was jubilee simply said it was her big brother, but the boy was sitting on the front row and said he wasn’t. I wanted to know who he was, that answer I wanted to know. Who that boy really was?
Further more lovely series, fantastic characters, spectacular book covers and beautiful writing.
Bracing myself for the last one.
4/5 Stars!

Started out slow but became unputdownable
This is a sci-fi ya book. The story is roughly about two sides of an ongoing war for a planet in process of being terraformed (unsuccessfully).
We follow a captain of the military, Jubilee Chase and one of the leaders of the rebel group named Flynn Cormac. It is told by a dual POV.
Things happen
That's it. That's all I'm going to say because sometimes I do like going into a book blindly.
I have to admit that it was harder to get into this book than the first one. But once you pass the 30% barrier it certainly becomes unputdownable. The characters get better the more you read about them and I just loved Jubilee by the end. This girl is on fire.
This book explains the ending of the first book a little better. Maybe because the characters had a year to understand it themselves or because the new characters bring new perspectives. But it does leaves us with something to think about and look forward in the next book (kind of like the first book). It generates questions that may be answered in the next book (?) Maybe.
Overall I give this between 3.5 ~ 3.75 stars and will (of course) continue the series.
