Synopsis:
Les Misérables meets The Lunar Chronicles in the out-of-this-world sequel to Sky Without Stars that’s an “explosion of emotion, intrigue, romance, and revolution” (Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series).
 
A thief.
An officer.
A guardian.
All from different backgrounds, but sharing one same destiny…
The planet Laterre is in turmoil. A new militant revolutionary group has emerged calling themselves “The Red Scar” and claiming responsibility for a spate of recent bombings. The infamous rebels known as the Vangarde believe that in order to bring about a peaceful revolution, their charismatic leader, Citizen Rousseau must be freed from prison right away. Otherwise the bloodshed will only escalate.
Soon Marcellus, Chatine, and Alouette all find themselves pulled into battle with extreme consequences.
Marcellus is determined to uncover his corrupt grandfather’s plan to seize Laterre—even if that means joining the Vangarde.
Aloutte, trying to unearth the truth about her past, becomes a captive of Marcellus’s grandfather, the general.
Chatine, who is serving time on Bastille, hopes to escape the brutal and horrifying reality of the prison moon.
But the failed attempt to break Citizen Rousseau out of prison launches Aloutte, Chatine, and Marecellus into the middle of a dangerous war for control of Laterre. And in the midst of it all is the legend of a secret and dangerous weapon that could mean complete and absolute power to any that wields it.

Favorite Quotes

 

It was an eerie, ominous place, with rows of abandoned shaft entrances, dark and empty like black holes in a galaxy.

One ghost to distract you from another.

A shell of a person reduced to nothing more than a number.

Review of Between Burning Worlds

Review (4.5 Stars):  Between Burning Worlds was an amazing action-packed story and the perfect sequel to such a dramatic adventure. Sky Without Stars was such a great story when I first read it last year and I’m a huge fan of Les Mis.  I was so excited to see that this story picks up right after the events of the first book and Marcellus is looking for a way to help the rebel group, Vangarde, while bringing his horrible grandfather down.

Words cannot explain how entertaining this epic series is and I was rooting for Marcellus and Chatine all along.  This book had everything for me with an adventure, a dangerous revolution and a love story.  Definitely pick this book up and see why everyone loves this beautiful story.
