Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray

3.0

---

Rated it 3.5. Though full of action sequences there are times where the writing becomes a little monotonous and takes the thrill out of the scenes making them a little boring. However the two main characters were interesting and what really captured me was seeing their development especially Abel's. And for a book having romance as one of its main plots I really like that the author allowed the relationship to have a slow build-up given that Noemi and Abel are enemies and leading to a bittersweet but realistic pay-off while acknowledging that their relationship still needs to grow. If you're looking for an easy sci-fi read with a satisfying enemies-to-lovers plotline then this book is for you.
