This book is fantastic and deserves more than five stars, I LOVE Marie Lu and am super excited for this new book. It comes back to Talin again and again as she is doubted by Mara, and this is eventually exploited by the Federation. It’s nice to not have romance in every piece of literature, and I truly enjoyed getting to know both Talin and her Shield in a platonic manner. The love interest was really great as well, everything I want in one in all honesty. Skyhunter is excels at creating an entertaining story, with horrifying monsters, tinges of mystery, and characters that keep you hooked. I love the pace of the book, there was not a single dry moment. Also, the cover of this book is absolutely beautiful. I would like to give a big thanks to Libro.FM, MacMillan Audio and Roaring Brook Press for the ability to listen to and read this advanced copy for an honest and unbiased opinion. True rating 4.5/5, rounded for Bookishfirst.
