“I don’t think most people want to do what’s right. That’s what makes doing the right thing noble. It’s a conscious choice. A hard one. If it were easy, why would we respect it so much?”

Seeing the character growth from the first book to this book is honestly masterfully done, and though there is definitely a build up to the ending, it is worth the build up. There's so much action packed into that last part of the book that you won't want to put it down until you finish reading it. I know I didn't!
There are so few sci-fi books like this for teens that I'm glad that this series exists. Because I know there are teens that like to read about space battles, too! The random illustrations thrown in here are also fun. And I appreciated the theme that just because an alien species doesn't think or act like humans doesn't mean they aren't intelligent beings. They just have intelligence in a different way.
All in all, this sci-fi series has all the space battles you could want while still hosting a cast of characters you will come to love by the end.
