Skyhunter was amazing! It left me speechless.
I'm a huge fan of the Legend series, and this has some serious Legend vibes (with less romance. There's a little, but it's a very slow burn).
Talin is a striker, an elite fighter. There's only one thing: she was also a refugee, and her adopted home doesn't treat her as an equal. Her mother can't even live in a decent house.
When Red shows up as a defector in her country, he's set to be executed. Only Talin doesn't think he should be executed, and stops him. Ove the course of the book, you find out Red's secret, as well as other secrets that were left behind for years.
This was probably my favorite book so far this year. The ending--I must have book 2. It's a cliffhanger. There's a twist towards the end of the book (this is Marie Lu, after all). All I can say is: go read it.
