I can't review this yet. I quite liked it, yet don't know how to describe it.
I know I read it instead of doing Buzz Worthy News, which is a big no-no for me. But I just couldn't help myself. And whilst I won't give anything away, I finished it like I had a spell over me.
"It was nice, ya know? Just real nice..."
Review to come closer to release date.

4.5 stars Ugh, I can't review this for at least another 6 months. But here's what you need to know now:
-- This story is incredibly original, and unlike any other scifi book I've ever read before. Leaps and bounds above most YA science fiction for sure, and with an interesting mood/tone that you don't often find in this genre.
-- Much of the book is also a survivalist story, so if you like that sort of thing (as I do!), this one will probably interest you.
-- The writing is terrific. Don't let the...more

The girl in this cover reminds me of the girl on one of those German covers which I cannot for the life of me remember the names of.

Shhhhhhhhh. You don't have to say anymore. You had me at "luxury spaceliner", "plummets into the nearest planet" and the names "Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen".

The cover would be so much more lovely had the guy not looked like a corporate scumbag. I mean, dude the girl is wearing all that green flowiness and you couldn't even put on a dress jacket?
First book is These Broken Stras
Second is rebellion
Third is Revolution
you see that? Pretty inconsistent. where did the poetry go? It's a pretty long jump from stars to revolution.

Cover reveal! Not quite what I was expecting. I like the flowiness of the girl's dress, but I'm not sure how I like another red-haired female protagonist...in outer space. Kinda getting reminded of Amy from Across the Universe, but I'm hoping Lilac will be totally different.

My official comments:
With rich, complex characters and a dynamic--and dangerous--new world, THESE BROKEN STARS completely transported me. I can't wait to see where Amie and Meagan take this story next!
My unofficial comments:
It's sooooo pretty! You must read this one!

I seriously love this cover! There's this really fun interview with both Amie and Meagan up on the blog where Kat designs faux covers. Also, giveaway of an ARC!

Well, I just heard this was supposed to be called MASSIVE CRASH (courtesy: the midnight garden), eh. Thank the lovely Lord they didn't; this cover and title duo is absolutely gorgeous.

This is currently my favorite cover ever and in my preorder list. Golly goodness I will someday frame this....or something extreme. The fangirl in me is coming out big time. THAT DRESS! (And that BOY!) Omg. Hand it over, ladies.
Holy crap, this book sounds really good and THE COVER IS GORGEOUS *___*
I pretty much can't stop staring.
