Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray

4.0

I'm reviewing a week or so after reading and can say the most memorable part is still Abel. I loved being in his head and watching his growth. His wit paired with cold logic was absolutely hilarious. He totally stole the show and I may read on just for him. The religious themes in the beginning felt heavy handed to me but eventually made a little more sense. I found Noemi a bit annoying and I struggled to connect with her. This could harken back to the religious parts which usually are not my thing. Overall it was fun but I wasn't left dying for the next book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
