ARC Mini Review Preview - This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner

Title:  This Shattered World
Series: Starbound #2
Author: Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
Release Date: December 23, 2014


Summary from Goodreads:  The second installment in our epic Starbound trilogy introduces a new pair of star-crossed lovers on two sides of a bloody war.

Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac should never have met.

Lee is captain of the forces sent to Avon to crush the terraformed planet's rebellious colonists, but she has her own reasons for hating the insurgents.

Rebellion is in Flynn's blood. Terraforming corporations make their fortune by recruiting colonists to make the inhospitable planets livable, with the promise of a better life for their children. But they never fulfilled their promise on Avon, and decades later, Flynn is leading the rebellion.

Desperate for any advantage in a bloody and unrelentingly war, Flynn does the only thing that makes sense when he and Lee cross paths: he returns to base with her as prisoner. But as his fellow rebels prepare to execute this tough-talking girl with nerves of steel, Flynn makes another choice that will change him forever. He and Lee escape the rebel base together, caught between two sides of a senseless war.

The stunning second novel in the Starbound trilogy is an unforgettable story of love and forgiveness in a world torn apart by war.


This Shattered World isn't going to be released until December, so I don't want to share my full review quite yet, but I definitely wanted to put this book on your radar.  So, I'm doing a little Mini Review Preview.  

Here's why you should be ready to love this book:

  • Complex main characters who have strong, opposing beliefs (and neither of them are really wrong).
  • Lots of action!!
  • The mysteries of These Broken Stars continued.  Don't worry, you haven't seen the last of the Whispers (or of other old friends!).
  • A slow-building romance that will make you swoon!
This Shattered World was even better than These Broken Stars, in my opinion.  I did not want to put this book down!!

Make sure to watch for this book in December!!

I'm so glad to hear this! I was hoping we would see some of the older characters, but it sounds like these new ones are amazing as well. I'm so ready for this book - is it December yet??

Glad I could spread the excitement! I obviously loved it!
YAY! I'm so excited to read my copy! I will probably wait a bit longer to start it, though. My TBR is already huge!

I know - I should have held off on this one, but I just couldn't - I was too excited to read it since it actually hadn't been that long since I read the first book. It was just too perfect. :-)
This is a great idea for an arc book! I have one that doesn't come out until November. I LOVE strong characters and slow romances! I'll have to check out the first!

Yes, I couldn't wait to read this one and I wanted to post something about it now, even though it's way too early to post the full review.
Gah! I cannot wait :) I loved the first book in the series. This one promises to be another one that will make me weep :)
