Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray

Spectacular book. Great world building, characters, plot, etc., and...
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate Abel.
HE’S JUST SO WONDERFUL...no, no, I don’t mean that he’s my fictional crush or anything, but he is a FANTASTIC character.
Also, is it just me, or did anyone else imagine Burton Mansfield exactly like Professor Bruttenholm in “Hellboy”? I mean, he called Abel “my boy” and everything...

Nope?
Just me?
I thought so.

Anyway, a must read for all of you.
“Aaaaaaaaaah....wham-bam, THANK YOU, ma’am!”
(I dunno why I put that in there...that’s all that comes to mind when I think of what makes this book good, despite the lack of David Bowie references of any kind...)
