Review Posted on Reading Lark 11/13/13: http://readinglark.blogspot.com/2013/...
Wow. These Broken Stars took me completely by surprise. I'm always a little nervous to read science fiction novels, but this one is so much more than that. These Broken Stars is a fresh, innovative spin on YA romance. This is an addicting read that is told with vivid prose that will have your heart pounding and your fingers racing to turn the page.

THIS BOOK!!! I know I say that about a lot of books..but holy Batman was this book amazing. The characters, the plot, the swoons, hands down one of my favorite books of the year-and I finished it on the last day of the 2014!
I love science fiction, and These Broken Stars didn't disappoint at all. First off..we can terraform OTHER PLANETS! We can travel to OTHER PLANETS! I don't even know how they've figured that out yet, but it's fun to think about..if not a little terrifying. We find Tarver and ...more

I thought the characters were built nicely. I felt like I got to know them as they got to know each other which was fun. The same can be said for the world they crashed on. As the reader, I was right there with them trying to figure this odd place out.
My only issue came towards the end. It had to do with something that happened to Lilac. I'm very unclear on what exactly that was that happened to her. It's something pretty pivotal, and really needed some kind ...more

4.5/5
A very interesting and... unique sci-fi. I stumble on unique because not only is it sort of a Titanic retelling (though it's more of a survivalist story than a James Cameron production) but it also seems to be taking a big page from a sci-fi novel called Solaris (though Solaris isn't nearly as good in my mind). Overall, though, I loved this book and appreciate the fact that there were literally only two characters for most of the novel. Really, just genius! ...more
