Made of Stars follows outlaws Shane and Ava as they embark on a daring prison break and plan a new heist. But when they stumble upon a conspiracy to take over their home planet, they must use their outlaw skills to take down an oppressive government.
This was a rollercoaster of action and thrills! I came for the Bonnie and Clyde in space concept, but I stayed for the sci-fi politics. While Shane and Ava were fun to read about, my heart was stolen by Cyrus, the imperial soldier who realizes that he may need to turn against the empire that gave him everything.
Also … THAT ending! I mean, I never saw it coming in a million years, and it broke me but also made so much sense for the story. I also liked how things weren’t wrapped up in a neat little bow — taking down an evil empire takes time, after all. But there’s a spark of hope, and that’s what matters. I don’t know if a sequel is planned, but if there is, I’m SO ready!
CWs: Blood, violence, gore, descriptions of blood/bodies, murder (including mass murder), torture, war themes, weapon use/gun-violence, PTSD and flashbacks, and grief over deceased friends.
