Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Luxury spaceliner Icarus suddenly plummets from hyperspace into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive – alone. Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a cynical war hero. Both journey across the eerie deserted terrain for help. Everything changes when they uncover the truth.
Boom. Five stars.
You know why? Because I enjoyed the shit out of this book.
You want a detailed breakdown of what happens in it?
Look elsewhere.
You want me to tell you how fucking gloriously understated yet wholly satisfying this world building was?
Too bad.
You want to know why I started losing my mind 70% in?
HOW’S IT FEEL TO WANT?
This book is everything that makes me keep coming back to the YA category. Because sometimes, sometimes an author does it right. Kaufman and Spooner did it right. They did it sooooooo right. This book was a not only refreshingly original, but filled with all sorts of delicious mind-fuckery.
*applause*
