Starbreak by Phoebe North


Starbreak by Phoebe North 

Blurb from Goodreads
The Asherah has finally reached Zehava, the long-promised planet. There, Terra finds harsh conditions and a familiar foe—Aleksandra Wolff, leader of her ship’s rebel forces. Terra and Aleksandra first lock horns with each other . . . but soon realize they face a much more dangerous enemy in violent alien beasts—and alien hunters.

Then Terra finally discovers Vadix. The boy who has haunted her dreams may be their key to survival—but his own dark past has yet to be revealed. And when Aleksandra gets humanity expelled from the planet, it’s up to Terra, with Vadix by her side, to unite her people—and to forge an alliance with the alien hosts, who want nothing more than to see humanity gone forever.


Phoebe North doesn't disappoint. I will admit... this made me cry. When you get to the end you will understand.

It was wonderful to be back with Terra again.  Phoebe North is amazing at world building. The "aliens" were fascinating and complex. I will admit to be a little squeamish about the romance. I understand that the point is that if two people love each other then they should be together, but I still wasn't comfortable. Of course, that is my problem not the book's. And the ending did make me cry so I couldn't have been too upset by Terra and Vadix. I don't know if there will be another book because this one wrapped up everything in a box with a pretty bow. I hope that there will be more, maybe from Ettie's POV. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good sci-fi book with great world building and characters.
