Goodreads description--The second installment in our epic Starbound trilogy introduces a new pair of star-crossed lovers on two sides of a bloody war.

Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac should never have met.

Lee is captain of the forces sent to Avon to crush the terraformed planet's rebellious colonists, but she has her own reasons for hating the insurgents.

Rebellion is in Flynn's blood. Terraforming corporations make their fortune by recruiting colonists to make the inhospitable planets livable, with the promise of a better life for their children. But they never fulfilled their promise on Avon, and decades later, Flynn is leading the rebellion.

Desperate for any advantage in a bloody and unrelentingly war, Flynn does the only thing that makes sense when he and Lee cross paths: he returns to base with her as prisoner. But as his fellow rebels prepare to execute this tough-talking girl with nerves of steel, Flynn makes another choice that will change him forever. He and Lee escape the rebel base together, caught between two sides of a senseless war.

The stunning second novel in the Starbound trilogy is an unforgettable story of love and forgiveness in a world torn apart by war.

What are you waiting on this week? Let me know!

    I loved These Broken Stars! I really can't wait for this one, and I adore that cover (though not as much as TBS, because that dress!). Great pick! :)

    Thanks for stopping by my WoW! I haven't read the first in this series, as I don't tend to read a lot of sci-fi, but I've seen some good things about it. Hope it lives up to expectations!

    I really enjoyed These Broken Stars too. And I just love the covers for this series so far. Thanks for stopping by Nemo Rosa!

    I really love the covers for both. I like how they're both similar yet different at the same time. Enough to tie them together. But yes, that was a pretty dress...and appropriate for the book, not just a random girl in a fancy dress cover. :) Thanks for stopping by Holly!

    It wasn't too out there sci-fi-y for me. Very YA. But I know it's not for everyone. Thanks for stopping by Danya!

    I just bought These Broken Stars not too long ago, and am super excited to start that. I have already added this second book to my TBR. The covers are so beautiful.
