I love Marie Lu's writing, and have been so excited for her new book. In Skyhunter, Talin is a part of an elite force that defends the nation of Mara from the Federation. I had a feeling about what was going to occur in this excerpt, but even though I expected it, the emotional impact was still strong. I'm already rooting for Talin and curious about the prisoner that's been captured. My fingers are crossed that this may be my new favorite Marie Lu book. Lastly, the colors used in the cover are stunning!
