December 11, 2018I loved Light Years so much, and after THAT ending I need book two now, OK?

I loved Supernova. It is a great end to the duology.

I feel very lucky to have snagged an ARC of this book. I loved LIGHT YEARS so much, and this continued Vesper, Cormak, Arran, and Orelia's stories in exciting ways. I love these four characters! SUPERNOVA was just as thrilling as LIGHT YEARS. I appreciated out how it called out colonialism, and its diverse romances made my heart sing. Thumbs way up!

Been a while since I read a book in one go.
Probably closer to 3.5/5, but still a satisfying conclusion.

Great conclusion! This duology has been so much fun to read and this book was packed with action, romance, and friendship. Cormac, Vesper, Arran, and Orelia are great characters and I enjoyed watching them come together and form an even stronger bond. The plot was well paced, there was plenty going on without being confusing and the romances were so sweet. I sped through this and the ending was well written and wraps up nicely.

*Thoughts*
Supernova is the second and final installment in author Kass Morgan's Light Years duology. The story picks up right where the first installment left off and once again features (4) main characters; Orelia, Arran, Vesper, and Cormak. This story moves away from the classroom setting to the real world with real world implications. So, to summarize, Orelia has been arrested for espionage for being a Specter spy and transmitting the location for the secretive Quatra Fleet Academy. Days ago, Cormak's squad foiled a Specter attack on the Academy thanks to Orelia.

Wow! Wat ontzettend spannend! En wat schrijft Kass Morgan ontzettend gemakkelijk. Ik had het boek in no time uit!

Ik vond dit deel ook weer zo goed. Ik wil helemaal niet dat deze serie afgelopen is, want wat zou ik graag nog een deel willen lezen. Een serie die mij non stop heeft vast gegrepen.

J'ai beaucoup aimé cette duologie même si ce deuxième tome est plus stratégique, politique, avec une ambiance différente je trouve. Mais c'est un autre aspect de cette histoire 😉 Je ne peux pas vraiment dire si j'ai préféré l'un ou l'autre mais j'ai juste regretté que nos 4 personnages principaux n'évoluent plus ensemble comme dans le tome 1. Mais c'est aussi l'histoire qui a voulu ça 😁

3 to 3.5 stars.
Good ending and well written story.

i read the arc version, and i enjoyed it, it was simple fast easy read, i like the world and the characters.. it wasnt anything special but still enjoyable, not too much action but not boring either, just some drama here and there and some intense moments.. the ending of this one was satifying and conclusive. i wish we could explore more about the different planets

Supernova is een geheimzinnig, intrigerend en spannend verhaal. Orelia, Arran, Cormak en Vesper hebben de vijand tijdelijk weten uit te schakelen. Maar dan wordt Orelia opgepakt in verband met verraad, probeert Arran zijn liefdesverdriet een plek te geven, wordt Cormak gechanteerd en dealt Vesper met een groot geheim die het gehele universum ten gronde kan richten. Ondanks de geheimen proberen Orelia, Arran, Cormak en Vesper elkaar toch te vertrouwen. Hierdoor doen ze er dan ook alles aan om een veilige universum te creëren. Ondanks dat je vanaf het begin van Supernova weet dat alles goed gaat komen, zorgen diverse gebeurtenissen toch voor een spannende sfeer. Maar daarnaast weet Kass Morgan een prachtig slot te creëren in Supernova. --> Vanaf 4 juli is de hele recensie te lezen op mijn blog: www.elinebooks.com

Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um den 2. und gleichzeitig letzten Teil der Reihe. Man kommt recht schnell wieder in die Geschichte rein, denn diese ist recht simpel und gut zu verstehen.
Nachdem der 1. Teil mit einer echt fiesen Cliffhanger geendet ist, setzt die Autorin ihre Handlung nahtlos fort und erzählt ihre Geschichte wieder aus verschiedenen Perspektiven.
Gerade die ständigen Perspektivenwechsel und die verschiedenen Charaktere machen die Geschichte für mich so interessant. Diese sind alle sehr unterschiedlich, was gerade den besonderen Reiz ausmacht. Die Mischung aus Science Fiction und Drama ist sehr ausgeglichen und hat genau das richtige Maß.
Ich kann die Reihe jeden empfehlen, der gerne Space Operas liest. Von mir gibt es eine klare Leseempfehlung mit voller Punktzahl.

Once again, I'm missing half stars... this would be a 3,5 stars for me, actually. I liked this book, but it missed a bit of depth for me to really love it. But still... it's a nice guilty pleasure, and the name space opera it got, was absolutely right and it did that very well.

4.5 ⭐️ overall I really enjoyed it. But at times it felt kind of rushed. Especially with some of the larger plot points. I also somehow was unaware this was a duology so I thought there was one more book. Until things started happening really fast. But I did love it. And I loved all the relationships.
February 18, 2020
This is one of those heavy on space romance, light on plot sort of books. Not a lot happened but at least we got plenty of relationship drama!!
Either way, this was a really solid conclusion to this duology and I’m happy with how it ended.

In Light Years, book one of this dualogy, 4 young adults from 4 very different worlds are chosen to enter the elite space academy. 3 of those worlds are inhabited by settlers or "edgers" and this is the first year they've been admitted to the academy.
The story is told from 4 POVs of the main characters, who are thrown together to form a squadron and each are extremely likeable.
Supernova picks up where Light Years ended on a cliffhanger. It had been almost 2 years since I read book one, so I wasn’t sure I’d remember what happened, but Kass Morgan did a great job at giving us enough information that I quickly caught up and then remembered how much I loved these 4 characters.
The 4 are now instrumental in bringing peace between the worlds. I was very satisfied with how this series wrapped up.

A perfect, not too much to remember to enjoy the story, sci-fi adventure in space. I really do love space academies, even if they still have too much
to most of them. That's not a dig; I like Ender's Game and I love the direction this story went in. What if we could train our children not just for war, but to make peace? What kind of limits would that galaxy have? It's worth exploring.

I loved Light Years so much and Supernova was simply up to my expectations and a great way to the end the duology. I would have liked to have more books about this story to read, but I'm super happy about how it turned out. It was very easy for me to completely fall in love with the superbly shaped characters, it was like living in their their skin and I can swear I felt all of their emotions. I'm sure I'll re-read Supernova again by the end of the year, it's just so good!
January 11, 2020
Not as good as the first book in this duology but still good. Wraps everything up very nicely. Sort of had the feel of a Star Trek tng episode except it was the recruits that were asked to do everything! Looking forward to more of Kass Morgan's books

In het begin was er iets te veel herhaling uit het vorige boek maar dat werd al snel beter en dan was het een en al actie! Ik hou van letterlijk ELK personage in dit boek en aaaah. Ik ben een beetje verdrietig dat het voorbij is maar, ik ben ook best satisfied?

I think 3.75 ⭐️

4.5 stars. I LOVED this, but the villain was a bit predictable for me. Loved the ending, the characters and the plot. I genuinely cared about them and their relationships.
