A review by makenziewho
Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray

5.0

Oh... my gosh?! How is a book this good not more well known? I only heard of it because I loved Claudia Gray’s Star Wars novels and wanted to check out her other stuff. Seriously, the way she develops Abel’s character, the way she shows how people from different cultures view war in different ways, the philosophical and theological questioning?? the side characters (I would die for Virginia), the SLOW BURN??.... it’s everything. Noemi and Abel’s dynamic is so perfect and sweet and I can’t wait for more.

Me at the beginning of this book: oooh a robot that has possibly developed human emotions, interesting concept

Me at the end of this book: NO ONE HURTS MY BABY BOY ROBOT’S FEELINGS AND GETS AWAY WITH IT 🤬🤬🤬

I cannot wait to read the other books in this series and more of Claudia Gray’s writing!!

Ms. Gray. You Casablanca-d me. You even told me you were going to Casablanca me and I didn’t see it coming and I’m crushed. But that’s on me because I refused to see the signs. Yes I know there’s two more books. Yes I’m going to read them. In the mean time thank you for the ANGST 😩😩😩
