Waiting on Wednesday (34): This Shattered World

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This Shattered World (Starbound, #2)

THIS SHATTERED WORLD
(Starbound #2)
By Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
Expected publication date: December 23, 2014

I loved the first book of this trilogy of companion novels. I'm really looking forward to this next couple's book!

Book Synopsis:

The second installment in the 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.

  4. I loved These Broken Stars so I hope this will be just as good as that was, or maybe even better. I'm curious about the new characters and I hope Lilac and Tarver will have a role in this book and wouldn't be just mentioned once or something. Nice pick. :)
