5fourteen 's review for:
Defy the Stars
by Claudia Gray
This reminded me of Carve the Mark, and while overall I liked the storyline of Carve the Mark better, there were certain things that Defy the Stars did better. One of the things about Carve the Mark that bothered me was that it didn't take place on Earth, and the people weren't actually "people" but they kind of were people? They looked human, and their world for the most part contained things that we have on Earth. They lived in a group of planets that all somehow were able to support life, and the people on those planets weren't human either, but they kind of were?
Defy the Stars did a much better job with this, in my opinion. The people were actually people, because they were descended from humans who had actually lived on Earth at one point. I had an easier time believing that 200 years in the future, we were able to perfect the science of space travel enough to where we were able to travel through wormholes and colonize other planets in the galaxy.
The whole romance aspect of this book was weird to me, but I found myself rooting for Abel and Noemi to end up together.
