Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray
4.0
I'm not usually one for sci-fi books, but after reading the Firebird series, I'll make an exception for Claudia Gray's writing. Great world-building, and very thought-provoking plot. This was an enjoyable read, fast-paced and engaging.
Noemi is an amazing character, strong and selfless, willing to risk anything to save her planet. Abel is frankly adorable in his childlike innocence. His voice is very well written, a perfect mix of mech and human. It's interesting to see how he changes through the story, becoming more and more human in his behaviour which is also reflected in his speech and thoughts. It would have been interesting to see the perspective of someone on Earth, who's fighting the war against Genesis. One of my favourite parts though, was the look into such advanced artificial intelligence that might well be a reality some time in the future. I loved the way this book ended and it's set up very nicely for what promises to be an exciting sequel!
