This Shattered World 
By Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
Genre: Young Adult Sci-Fi
Personal Rating: 5/10

 This is the second novel to the Starbound trilogy. I absolutely adored These Broken Stars (you can see my review of that book below) but unfortunately the second book didn't have the same appeal to me. I gave it a 5/10 because I really only enjoyed half of the book. All the intense sci-fi action and mystery was there, but I felt like it took awhile for the real problems to arise. For most of it I just felt like we were getting a long set up. I think the biggest reason I couldn't get into this book like I did the first one is because I didn't like the two main characters that much. I adored Lilac and Tarver from the first novel. I understood them and they felt real to me. But Jubilee and Flynn didn't interest me that much. The authors put in a lot of back story--especially for Jubilee--but it still didn't make them seem real. Actually, my favorite part of this book would probably be when Lilac and Tarver made an appearance.

I wish I had more good to say about this book, but it didn't live up to my expectations.
