Author: M.K England Date Published: December 18th 2018 by HarperCollins Date Read: Nov 18 2019 - Nov 23 2019 Pages: 352 Rating: 5/5 Thoughts While ReadingSo far this is really enjoyable there’s great action and it’s moving fairly quickly!! I love the characters and the writing style!" Quotes I Liked“We’re raised to believe that if we do all the right things, the law will protect us. Reality is much harsher.” “Yeah, I know, I’m a bit of a disaster. But hey, aren’t we all? Doesn’t mean we can’t fly.” “Nothing wrong with eggs for dinner at ten o’clock at night when you’re about to commit a crime.” ReviewThe was a really easy, fast and enjoyable read. I thought it had great pacing and I was not bored even once throughout this book. The characters were great, and I really enjoyed the plot as well… who doesn’t love teenagers in space? I found this be a very tame version of the Illuminae Files by Amie Kaufman, not as good but definitely still very enjoyable! It had the action of Illuminae but it didn’t feel as high stakes and it wasn’t as gruesome, I didn’t feel fear for these characters like I did during Illuminae.
That being said I LOVED how diverse this cast of characters was! We had different races, sexuality, languages and religions, I absolutely loving reading books that have diverse characters. This book also dealt with things like anxiety and guilt really well, again I love reading books where the characters aren’t cookie cutter people, they have real problems and different backgrounds… like real life. I also loved M.K England’s writing style, it flowed really well, and her pacing was excellent. I love books like this because you can read 100 pages without knowing because you just can’t stop reading. And her world building was also really well done! I loved how she wrote not only descriptions of the many different worlds but also answered questions I was asking myself… Like “if you leave Earth are you able to go back?” Questions like these that don’t necessarily need answer but are nice to have. Overall this was a great book probably in my top 10 of 2019. I would recommend this to anyone who asked about it!
