Lost Stars by Claudia Gray
5.0
This is one of those books that pains you at the very end, because it doesn't give you a fulfilling ending. Instead, it chooses to completely ignore the characters that you've been suffering with through the entire book and instead chooses to end with the character who was just the side character, a good side character, but still not who's story I was reading!
I want to know what happened to Ciena and Thane! Did they get to be together? Did Ciena get killed? Did she go back to the empire? The world may never know.
Now onto the real review:
This Star Wars story was very good. Yet, it still made me feel like I was reading Fanfiction, because of the way that it was made. It was an original story, but still followed the entire original trilogy timeline. At some points I was like, "wait. Which movie is this set in?"
On the back it said it would hint at what happened with episode VII and would have Info on episode VI, so I expected it to be set in Episode VI, boy was I wrong! TALK ABOUT MISLEADING, but that's merely nitpicking.
The character development throughout this story is utterly spectacular. I don't want to give anything away, but I truly believe that the fight between Ciena and Thane was heartbreaking and real. It sort of reminded me of Romeo and Juliet mixed with World War 2 in space. Absolutely breathtaking.

I bought this book because I loved it so much!
