Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray
5.0

Alright so I LOVED this book! I genuinely wasn’t expecting to love it so much. My friend recommended it to me a year ago, i dont really like YA especially when they are barely 18 years old so it took me a while to actually start it. But when i started it, everything was so good i was upset i didnt start it sooner. 
Its a sci-fi and shoutout to that author for making me want to read more sci-fi. 
The premise of the book is amazing and the way the author sets the pace and the description is perfect, almost felt like i was there. I have an idea of how the ship is built and made and its so rare for me to actually be able to imagine everything down to the planets. 
Now it was quite fast paced which was so nice especially for a book thats 500 pages. I didn’t feel like it was that amount of pages compared to some 200 pages book that felt like going on forever and ever. I loved so many of the characters, especially the one they’d encounter on each planet.
Also don’t get me started on the slowburn, this was so well made i fell in love abel a thousands times while reading. 

Anyway, will read the sequels. And im upset at myself for not listening to cata sooner.
