These Broken Stars
by Meagan Spooner, Amie Kaufman
I have been postponing this book for years. As every book I have read this year it seems that at some point I started it and read around 10%.. then nothing. Can't find a reason for dropping it.
It was BRILLIANT
Kinda has a Titanic vibe, to be honest. But it's just a bit so I'm not too mad at it. The shipTitanic Icarius is in hyperspace. Basically people can travel through space and time.
Then something happens(I am actually confused why and how that shit happened, cos we never find out.. if anyone knows..please message me 😁). Then some more shit happens and we get Rose shit, NO, LILAC and Tarver in a companionship which never should have been possible. She is the richest girl in the Galaxy, who is he? A guy who can paint her naked portrait write her poems. Okay, enough with the Titanic references/puns.
I absolutely love characters who hate each other in the beginning. Though technically they don't really hate each other... long story .. a lot of daddy issues.
Lemme just say I love the name Lilac! So brilliant and I will def remember this character cos of her name. Tarver will be a bit harder to remember I had problems with the name even in the book so I'm gonna refer to him as Major. Character development ON POINT . One of the best evolving of plots and worlds. Super original, maybe just for me cos I have never read such a book, to be honest I do kinda steer clear of sci-fi so not a lot of space is present in my usual books.
I'm so happy that I got to this book finally and am definitely gonna find a place for the next book! Also, to note this book was basically just about two characters the whole time. We rarely saw interactions with anyone else so I'm impressed it was so friggin interesting. The plot and development were so good WE DIDN'T EVEN NEED OTHER CHARACTERS
I'm a bit confused about the whole way energy works in this book , but it's alright, hopefully in the next book I will learn more ?!? Maybe?
Also what the hell is this dad doing?
I'm a bit sad. There were some really sorrowful/disturbing scenes. Shit. Still it made the book even more
For all the confusion I have towards some of the stuff happening in this book I ought to give it 4 stars but NAH! Extra points for characters and plot!
