Publisher's summary

The highly anticipated sequel to Under Different Stars, winner of four 2014 utopYA Awards.

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.

Better than the first and the first was GREAT!

If you could sum up Sea of Stars in three words, what would they be?

AWESOME

What other book might you compare Sea of Stars to and why?

i think it is similar to Cinder with the futuristic like way of presenting the story. really great read.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I just love how Cricket reacts to situation.

Any additional comments?

I have listened to this narrator in another book and really hated the way she did her narration but she does fantastic in these books!

adventure

great continuation of krickets story. very fast paced and leaves you wanting more. I can't wait for the next one.

Love the Story

Any additional comments?

I loved this story. It was so different than anything I had ever read/heard that it was so great! Kate did an amazing job narrating!

Another great book !!

Loved it !!! Will download the next book kn the series and continue the fun

So much better than book 1

I didn’t care much for the first book in this trilogy but whoa – this one more than made up for it. There was so much action, adventure, intriguing new characters and “oh no that didn’t just happen” scenes. Although I was happy that Kricket and Trey finally got their moment together I liked the conflict with Kyon. That dude just never gives up and I think there is something more to him that we have yet to discover. I’m looking forward to the 3rd installment.

Loved the sequel

For some reason I really love the way this author rights stories. I think they are a younger audience but it awakens something inside me. Great dystopian romance

Love the sarcasm!

I really like this series. Kricket is pretty funny and her relationships with the other characters are great.

The writing style is descriptive enough that you can get a clear of everything but not so detailed that it puts you to sleep. Apparently, that's harder to pull off then one would think because I can only think of a handful of writers that can accomplish this. Most are only OK.

A huge pet peeve of mine is when the characters reactions to what is happening are not realistic. There have been a lot of books that I have not been able to finish because I just thought the reactions were so stupid. But all of the reactions are pretty spot on. Kricket is not a soldier so I don't expect her to act like one. And she doesn't. She cries and gets mad and even throws up once because she's so upset. That's realistic. That's good writing to me.

I don't hand out very many 5 stars but I think this series deserves it. I only wish I'd waited until all the books were out to start the series. I hate waiting.

Can't Get Enough

Not only is the second edition to this awe inspiring series beyond what I expected, but the audiobook is just as good! I can't wait for the third book to come out in Sep, of 2015. Hopefully, it will have an audiobook companion as well!!!

loving it

this is a great series loves every min of it. except that there is only one more coming out. plz if you read this write more plz

Wow, amazing and not for minors.

This was exciting to listen to and kept me on the edge. The romance scenes in this book are to mature. I thought this was a YA novel which is why I choose this genere. But it's fine, I enjoyed listening to them they were just too steamy to hear while I'm at work.

I could not predict at all where the story was going. Which I think is the best form of storytelling. It keeps an audience on their toes.

I loved this installment even more than the last. I think it mainly has to do with the world building was completed in the 1st book. I'm used to all the new words now.

The voice actor did a great job with the distinction of each character and nicely displaying all the emotions.

I highly suggest reading this. It's fun and has me guessing where each character's heart really lay.
