This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I could not get enough of the Starbound series, so plunged into the next story as soon as I finished the first part. Again, I was amazed and enchanted by the richly imagined world the authors were able to create. the writing was familiar and kept its style from the first story to this one.
The characters were again very well developed, although my personal affinity towards the female lead slightly diminished. Mostly because of personal reasons, since she was a great character to get to know. The chemistry between the female and male protagonists was not as intense, although the authors were still able to create a connection between that would have any reader’s heart melting.
The plot was very intriguing, yet not too complicated to follow. With lots of mystery and conspiracy, it was a great experience to read it unfold.
The writing was consistent to the first part; easy to follow and lovely to imagine the world the authors intended to create.
Upon finishing this story I almost had a fit when I found out that the next and final part of this story will not be published until December 2015. Desperately, I have been trying to find books that resemble the stories and writing styles present in this series in order to get my fix until December rolls around. My fingers are itching for the next installment and I am very close to pre-ordering the final part online, just to make sure I get it in time. I would recommend this book, just as the first part to anyone, who loves great writing and beautifully imagined worlds.
