Action, romance, twists and turns--this book has it all!" --Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of Across the Universe "With well-developed characters and an excellent narration style, Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner have crafted an insightful, shrewd and genuinely moving exploration of life, humanity and the moral obligations neglected in the name of progress. These Broken Stars is a romantic and heartbreaking tale that is complete in its own right while still leaving readers excited for future installments. Intense, emotional and compelling, it will appeal to readers (aged 12 and up) who like their sci-fi thoughtful and challenging--and just a little bit sexy."--Books+Publishing*"Lilac and Tarver are characters of depth, complexity, and strength, young people who alternately elicit the readers admiration, frustration, and sympathy ... a testament to love, loyalty, courage, and the power of good over dystopian greed and perversity."--Booklist, starred review"Fans of the first book, as well as those who like impossible romance between two people on opposing sides, will enjoy this sequel."--VOYA"Kaufman and Spooner prove that their first brilliant installment was no fluke with this strong second outing. . . . There is action, a spark of romance, and a mystery, all set on a fully-realized planet. "--School Library Journal"Kaufman and Spooners debut collaboration is a stunning, gorgeously imagined romance with epic sweep, brimming with lush detail of setting and intricate character study. Its the kind of read to savor, but the survivalist plotting still rushes the reader to keep turning pages." --Ingram Library Group"Neither side is right, neither is wrong, but this sci-fi Romeo and Juliet are destined to fall in love in spite of the hatred and danger that surround them. Kaufman and Spooner have transitioned smoothly from These Broken Stars."--Booklist"One of the most intense, thrilling, and achingly beautiful stories Ive ever read. Kaufman and Spooner will break your heart with skilled aplomb, and youll thank them for it. Absolutely incredible! If I have to, I will come to your house and shove this book into your hands!" --Marie Lu, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Legend Trilogy"The authors begin with star-crossed lovers and a crash-landing survival story but add excitingly original material to these tropes to create a wonderful tale that should appeal to both teen and adult readers."--School Library Journal"With rich, complex characters and a dynamic--and dangerous--new world, These Broken Stars completely transported me."--Jodi Meadows, author of the Incarnate series Review Quote Avon is a young world, but colonization efforts over the last decades have stopped, and the planet is perpetually shrouded in clouds. Locals believe that the corporation controlling the planets development is stalling, preventing Avon from gaining full political rights. Jubilee Chase is known by soldiers on Avon as Captain Lee Chase, a no-nonsense officer who respects her troops but demands the best. To the rebels, she is a cold-hearted, soulless killer. But when she is kidnapped at gunpoint by Flynn Cormac, her life-as well as his-is forever altered. Flynn wants to investigate a secret facility east of town connected to Avons lack of development, but they cannot find it when they get there. In the midst of a nascent civil war, bringing her to the rebels hideout proves to be a bad idea, and the situation quickly devolves into open conflict. Now both Flynn and Jubilee must discover what is causing the Fury before the bloodbath engulfs the planet. In the second book of the Starbound series, the mystery of the Whispers continues, albeit on a different planet. LaRoux Industries is still deeply involved, and the main characters from These Broken Stars (Hyperion, 2013/VOYA December 2013) make an appearance late in the book, tying Avons mysteries to those they experienced. The focus, however, is on Jubilee and Flynns relationship and how they cope with being on opposite sides of what appears to be a futile conflict. Kaufman and Spooner propose two well-developed protagonists and a well-rounded cast of supporting characters. Though action is plentiful, the plot is slow to finally evolve into a story where all the elements connect. Fans of the first book, as well as those who like impossible romance between two people on opposing sides, will enjoy this sequel.-- VOYA Description for Sales People The hotly anticipated second instalment in the epic Starbound trilogy.
