Summing Up "Sea of Stars" (Sequel to "Under Different Stars")

Why I Chose This Book:  I finished reading "Under Different Stars," and I couldn't stop, so I paid the $4.99 Kindle edition price and immediately started reading the sequel.

Book Rating (1-5 Stars):  Maybe 3-4 stars.  This book really felt like a filler between the first and third books, and Kricket and Trey were awfully mushy in it, which was kind of blech.

Setting of the Book: It all took place on the planet of Ethar, current day.

About the Author: See her summary on the "Under Different Stars" post.  Although, we have recently confirmed her hair color as blonde, so there's that.

Plot of the book in one sentence:  Kricket and Trey are on the run from pretty much everyone else.

If I Could Rename the Book:  Kricket and Trey: On the Run From Pretty Much Everyone Else

Genre: Fantasy

Point of View: First Person Present (still told from Kricket's POV)

Favorite Character: I really like Kricket, so I'm gonna go with her.  She's really smart and passionate, so she's an easy heroine to relate to.

Least Favorite Character: It has shifted from Kyon to Giffin.  What kind of name is Giffin anyway?

Other (Main Characters): Still Trey, Kricket, Jax, Wayra, Kyon (and now sometimes Giffin)

If the Book was made into a movie, who would play the main characters? The characters would still be played by the actors I chose in "Under Different Stars."  Giffin would be some blonde brat.  That's all I got.

Favorite Scene of the Book: There is a scene in the book where Trey is teaching Kricket to use a wrist-weapon thing.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Least Favorite Scene of the Book: ALL the super-mushy ones between Trey & Kricket.

Favorite Quote in the Book: "When you have nothing to lose, failing doesn't come with the same kind of consequence."

Did I like the Ending? There wasn't really an ending, because it went straight into the next book.

Which of my friends could I see loving this book? Fantasy-loving nerds

Which of my friends could I see hating this book? Reality-loving nerds

This book left me feeling: On edge.

How Long Did It Take Me to Read It: 3-4 hours.

  1. Plot of the book/If I could rename the book: baahahahahahaha!

    So, do you sit for 3 to 4 hours to read these books in one shot or do you just add up all the different times you were reading it for a total approximation? Because if it's the former, girl! Where do you find 3-4 hours to sit and read in a day??

    1. I'm glad you appreciate my sense of humor ;)

      And it varies from book to book. Usually I add up the time, but sometimes I sequester myself in bed at night and read it straight through. Lol
