REVIEW - Sea of Stars by Amy Bartol

Synopsis:

Eighteen-year-old Kricket Hollowell was looking for her place in the world when she discovered that the universe was bigger—and more dangerous—than she had ever dreamed. Now, whisked across space to the planet Ethar, Kricket learns that her genetic ability to see the future makes her a sought-after commodity…and the catalyst for war between her star-crossed parents’ clans. According to Alameedan prophecy, one house will rise to power and the other will be completely wiped out, and Kricket’s precognition is believed to be the weapon that will tip the scales.

A target of both the Rafe and the Alameeda houses, Kricket finds protection—and a home—in the arms of Trey, her Etharian bodyguard-turned-boyfriend. But her visions of what’s to come disturb her deeply, especially since she must discover whether the gift of foresight will allow her to rewrite the future, or if her fate is as immovable as the stars.

Review by Angie:

Sea of Stars picks up right where Under Different Stars lets off. Kricket is with Trey in the Ship of Skye. But their happiness doesn't last long and the next 40% of the book is all action. Kricket running, Kyon chasing and killing everyone and everyone that may get in his path to Kricket. There are a few unexpected twists and turns especially in the last 10% of the book and I found my self devouring the book after I reached about the halfway point.

Seas of Stars doesn't disappoint. It is full of action, love, mystery and will keep you on the edge of your suite. I only really had two dislikes with the book. All the action in the first half of the book. There was seriously no break from it at all and I found myself having to re-read a few parts just to gather all my thoughts. Also, I wasn't a fan of the ending. It ends on a MAJOR cliff hanger. Overall a great continuation to the series and I am excited to read the next book when it gets released.
