Resumen del Editor

Arcadia was supposed to be Earth 2.0 - a haven for humanity while they fought desperately to save their dying homeworld.

But nothing has turned out like Cassiopeia Foster had thought.

Another race, the Alku, already occupies the planet in a parallel dimension called Paxon. They are willing to help Earth, but a powerful contingent plans to strip-mine the strangely powerful Starfire from the planet, which will collapse the Paxon side and kill all the Alku.

A war has begun, and Cassi is caught in the middle.

Will she have to choose between the Alku boy she loves and Earth who needs her?

Buy Dark Matter and continue with a love story that spans the universe.

Getting Action Packed

The action really picks up in book 2 of the Starfire Wars. Some questions from the first book are answered, but many more issues arise. Alliances are formed and broken. It’s unclear who can really be trusted. And the war between the humans and the Alku is only getting started.

Dark Matter Rocks

Summary:
Arcadia was supposed to be Earth’s new home and hope for the future, but things have not quite worked out as planned. Cassi finds herself in the middle of a struggle between the Alku race who already lived on a parallel dimension Paxon and the a faction from Earth who are determined to take the Starfire at any cost to hopefully save Earth. Cassi is forced choose who to support, Javen a young man from Paxon, and the keeper of her heart and her own people. Cassi’s father was one of the scientists who studied Arcadia, but is missing after an explosion that nearly took her life.

This was a fast paced intricate story about love, honor, and finding your place in a new world. It was wonderful how Cassi and Javen looked beyond their differences to who they truly were. The conflicts between the Alku and the people from Earth was sad as many chose conflict instead of working together to find a mutual solution to their problems.

The audio-book to the story to the next level bringing the characters to life as the story unfolded.

I for one can’t wait to see what happens in next book in The Starfire Wars series.

Great additon

OMG the action and suspense in this book had me forgetting to eat or anything else. I need book three like yesterday

Love the World

I really like the world building, it's quite intriguing. The story keeps me engaged and, for the most part, I like the characters. Cassi bothers me at times with her selfishness.

Overall, its a good story and i'm looking forward to the next one.

Rebecca Johnson gives a great performance.

Enjoyable

I received an Audiobook copy for review; all opinions are my own.
I frequently enjoy Jennetta Penner and her works. I always like that she puts girls as the lead. These girls always see normal to me. Not overly special but see that they can be as strong as they need to be. This theme continues in the Stare Fire Wars. Cassi realize this new paradise isn't what it was lead to be and she can't sit back and let her people clash with those who already in habitant Arcadia.
The narration is lovely and works well for the character and truly brings her to life. I like that the voice sounds like someone I would speak t in real life; it amps the idea that Cassi is a normal girl but can do amazing things.
This book brings the first with the third but unlike many; there is a real story here that stands on its own merit. I really enjoyed Dark Matter.

Another hit.

Another win for this fabulously written sci-fi book!!
I listened to the audiobook and like the first one I very much enjoyed it!! I love Arcadia and the world. Loved learning more about Starfire and all of its aspects.
I very much enjoy the connection that Cassi and Javen have. I felt like in the second book in this series that Cassi has grown as a character and I’m looking forward to see what happens in the next installment.

Intense!

Fast moving, hard hitting action with an amazing number of twists! Not to mention the great characters and fascinating world(s). Can’t wait to read how it all wraps up!

continue

trying to live peacefully on a new planet when the person that is running the government body wants to repeat past mistakes. I series worth checking out.

Great

I love this story. The characters are amazing. Great follow up to the first book. Can't wait for the next one..

Cheating & Immature Selfish Protagonist

I loved the Configured series and sadly this led me to pay an inflated price for an audiobook of only 5 hours long which I find I now can't return for whatever reason. But 1/2 way through Book 2 found it difficult to continue despite excellent world-building- Please note this book appears to be pitched at a tween audience - the protagonist though presented as 17 does not act anywhere near that. Cassie is totally selfish, immature, whiney, grudge-holding and stubborn. Warning: This book may not be for you if you do not like unprovoked relationship cheating. I stalled at that point.
