I felt that the fact that there were two authors really assisted with this as each of the two main protagonists had their own individual voice and personality. One thing which I really liked about this book was the wonderful character development. When an unforeseen disaster leaves them stranded on a rogue planet with nobody but each other for company, the only way to survive the less than ideal circumstances might just be to overcome their differences. The book is about Lilac LaRoux, top of the top in space social class and making her first independent journey across the universe on her father’s star ship, the Icarus, and Tarver Merendsen, a decorated soldier who has no business speaking to, or even making eye contact with, anyone of Lilac’s status. Although it was not the most unique text I’ve ever laid eyes upon, These Broken Stars was an irresistible love story and a wonderful escape for a while. I must admit, I’m not typically a sci-fi lover, but the action-packed plot and the vividness of this space-adventure universe intrigued me nevertheless. Although I began this book with some doubts, after trying (and failing) to read it previously, I was soon enamoured with the world of Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner’s creation, or should I say, the worlds.
