I have a giveaway on the blog to win one paperback of This Shattered World! One day I plan to kidnap Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner so they can come and write books for me to read for the rest of my life.Let me tell you now: this is not a sequel to These Broken Stars. That's right, This Shattered World is a companion novel set in the same world in which we follow two seemingly dissimilar main leads, Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac. Jubilee is the perfect soldier and she knows it: strong, resilie...
4.5!!! An epic sequel, I absolutely loved it! Expect a review soon :)
4.5 Book I love you !
4.5*Romeo and Juliet in space like c'monnnn! This is a scifi I can get on board with. Didn't enjoy this quite as much as These Broken Stars but only by the teeniest fraction. It was still amazing!
glad this was my first book of 2015 :) it was super fun, and while I didn't love it as much as Book 1, I still really really enjoyed it. great characters, and Flynn is just adorable. can't wait for the 3rd book!! I wonder who the next star-crossed couple will be...and of course, hoping to see Tarver and Lilac again. They were adorable in this 2nd installment, even though we didn't get to see them much!
The Starbound Trilogy is The Illuminae Files’ more subtle, a bit more refined big sister. I could definitely see a pattern here. This Shattered World takes place in the same world as that of These Broken Stars, virtually the same setting and nearly the same plot (although I still very much prefer that of the first book) except this time, the characters are different. This is basically the same with Gemina and Illuminae. I admit, I’m a little disappointed which was exactly how I felt when I learn...
This book is the reason why I love the universe and space opera; there is just something about countless stars, planets, and moons that is absolutely romantic to me. The opportunities to get to know other worlds and situations while still retaining the things that make us human (and by that I mean the cultures and values we hold dear here on Earth) is definitely an interesting mix... because it's so different while still so familiar.I mean, can you picture it? Mankind progressing so far technolo...
At first I wasn't sure I was going to like this book. I was thinking it was okay but I am also sick today on my birthday as some of you know and was dozing in and out so that could be it too. For some reason I was thinking this was going to be a book about the people that were on the planet from the first book. The people that were there before Tarver and Lilac crashed. Noooo, it took me over half the book to figure out that wasn't it at all. Jubilee (Lee) is a Captain on planet Avon <-- I can't...
WAIT WAIT wait...so that's it? I AM SO NOT READY FOR LILAC AND TARVER'S STORY TO ENDNO WONDER THERE WAS NO CLIFFHANGER NOOOOOOOO NOOO NOOOOOGAHHARRRWURBLEEFOIEJ *indistinguishable noises* *froths at mouth*--------------------------------------------------------------------*These Broken Stars Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...*follow for more reviews
The people in these Starbound covers really need to get a gravity stabilizer, because jeez, twisting your arms around like that cannot be healthy. *narrows eyes* Wait a second...Is the guy in the cover the same one from These Broken Stars cover...only flipped around and with different clothes?
All the stars beyond the clouded skies of Avon! That’s how many this series deserves. This story is the definition of “beautiful”!I loved the characters, the plot, the turnarounds, the ties to “These Broken Stars” (both characters from the first book, squee!) – it was, simply put, alluring and edge-gripping and absolutely perfect!THIS SHATTERED WOLRD does not give you time to think about it, you just dive into it and stop breathing until you reach the last page. But trust me, you will feel li...
Rounded down to 4,5 starsthis is the second book of Starbound series.This storry tells us about a girl ( Jubilee chase) and a guy ( Flynn Cormac). Who shouldn't have supposed to fall in love.Jubilee is captain of forces sent to Avon to crush rebellious collonist, she doesn't have parents anymore because they both died when she was a kid.She's a fearless girl and she's an expert at fightFlynn Cormac is a rebel, the one who made him like this is her sister's death.he had a sister but she was execu...
Well, well, well, colour me surprised. This trilogy just chucked a Days of Blood & Starlight and went straight in for the raw, gore and desperation of war. Love story, this was not. We’re in deeper, darker terrain now. And I loved it. The thing, for those who’ve yet to read These Broken Stars, that you must know with the first book in this trilogy is that it was a love story; tragic, desperate and bounded by socioeconomic barriers, it was the tale of two most unalike souls being brought toge
Where are my Lilac and Tarver? I.WANT.MORE!
As far as star-crossed lovers romance goes, this book is amazing. But (and I can't believe I'm saying it) the romance itself wasn't strong enough to suck me into the story. I wanted more world-building, more politics and more background info about characters. It was all touched lightly while romantic tension took the lead. And in my humble opinion, story suffered because of it. Simply said, This Shattered World lacks the epicness and high-stakes plotline that I would expect from sci-fi novel. Al...
Fingers crossed for a Lilac and Tarver cameo!
Smart, sexy scifi. Just wait until you guys meet Jubilee Chase! I have a serious girl crush on her.
*3.75/5 stars*I honestly have no idea how to rate this book. It's between 3-4 stars. While this story was very enjoyable and fast paced read, it wasn't quite as good as These Broken Stars. I also felt a bit disconnected from the story and its characters at times (I missed the wit and laugh out loud humor that was between the duo in book one) - Though, I loved how Jubilee was such a tough, kickass gal and I 1000% admired her! The ship in These Broken Stars definitely remains my favourite from the...
This review (and others) can be seen in all its proper formatting glory on my blog Beauty and the Bookshelf.Or 3.5 stars...but probably 4 stars.Note: You might be okay reading This Shattered World without reading the first book in the Starbound trilogy, These Broken Stars. You may understand things for the most part, but you'll see spoilers for the first book, which is why I'd recommend reading it first. This review shouldn't be spoilery, but I'll be mentioning some minor things from These Broke...
Another star-bound adventure and two new protagonists to fall in love with! Jubilee was great, Flynn too. I think I enjoyed it almost as much as These Broken Stars. This book is what you THOUGHT the first book was going to be when picking it up and looking at the cover, if that makes ANY sense. I know These Broken Stars ended up being more of a survival story more than a space adventure and before it came out, the hype it was getting made it seem more like a spaceship/outerspace type of book. Th...
