Where are my Lilac and Tarver? I.WANT.MORE!
Seriously, where are they? After finishing Amie Kaufman's *This Shattered World (Starbound, #2)*, I'm left craving more of Lilac and Tarver's story. This YA sci-fi romance is seriously addictive! I need the next book, like, yesterday. If you're looking for thrilling book reviews, look no further than the *Starbound* series!

Smart, sexy sci-fi. Just wait until you guys meet Jubilee Chase! I have a serious girl crush on her after reading *This Shattered World (Starbound, #2)* by Amie Kaufman. Seriously, this book is amazing!

The Starbound Trilogy is The Illuminae Files’ more subtle, a bit more refined big sister. I could definitely see a pattern here. This Shattered World takes place in the same world as These Broken Stars, virtually the same setting and nearly the same plot (although I still very much prefer that of the first book) except this time, the characters are different. This is basically the same with Gemina and Illuminae. I admit, I’m a little disappointed which was exactly how I felt when I learned that...

At first, I wasn't sure I was going to like **This Shattered World** by Amie Kaufman. I thought it was just okay, but I was also sick on my birthday (as some of you know) and kept dozing off, so that could be it too. For some reason, I thought this was going to be about the people who were on the planet from the first book—the people who were there before Tarver and Lilac crashed. Nope! It took me over half the book to figure out that wasn't it at all. Jubilee (Lee) is a Captain on planet Avon. ...

4.5 stars!
Romeo and Juliet in space? Seriously, what's not to love?! This is the kind of sci-fi I can totally get behind. I didn't enjoy *This Shattered World* quite as much as *These Broken Stars*, but only by a tiny, tiny bit. It was still absolutely amazing! If you're looking for great book reviews, especially sci-fi, definitely check out Amie Kaufman's *This Shattered World*.

4.5 stars! An epic sequel, I absolutely loved it! Expect a review soon :)

This book is exactly why I'm obsessed with the universe and space operas; there's just something so romantic about countless stars, planets, and moons. The chance to explore other worlds and situations while still holding onto what makes us human (and I'm talking about the cultures and values we hold dear on Earth) is such an interesting mix... it's so different, yet so familiar. I mean, can you imagine it? Humanity advancing so far technologically that we've conquered the stars and the galaxy;...

All the stars beyond the clouded skies of Avon! That’s how many this series deserves. This story is the very definition of "beautiful"!I loved the characters, the plot, the twists, and the ties to “These Broken Stars” (seeing characters from the first book again? Squee!) – it was, simply put, alluring, edge-of-your-seat gripping, and absolutely perfect!This Shattered World doesn't give you a moment to think; you just dive right in and hold your breath until you reach the last page. But trust ...

This review (and others) can be seen in all its proper formatting glory on my blog Beauty and the Bookshelf.Or 3.5 stars...but probably 4 stars.Note: You might be okay reading This Shattered World without reading the first book in the Starbound trilogy, These Broken Stars. You may understand things for the most part, but you'll see spoilers for the first book, which is why I'd recommend reading it first. This review shouldn't be spoilery, but I'll be mentioning some minor things from These Broke...
