One of the best "second book in a series" I've ever read, it carries the larger story forward without feeling like just a bridge between two other books, and the characters and the mythology of the world keep getting more complex and interesting with each page.

Hunted across the True Sea and haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret.

Starglass combined a lot of my favorite things: beautiful writing, a complicated girl who makes morally questionable (but still real and believable) choices, and SPACE!

For all of her sixteen years, Terra has lived on a city within a spaceship that left Earth five hundred years ago seeking refuge, but as they finally approach the chosen planet, she is drawn into a secret rebellion that could change the fate of her people.

The world of this series has always felt huge, strange, and dark, and it contains one of my favorite love stories. I was eager to see how this story would end. I wasn't disappointed.
