Between Burning Worlds by Jessica Brody & Joanne Rendell digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

​Deluxe edition with special embellishments on first printing only.

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 traitor.
A prisoner.
A fugitive.

Wanted by the Regime. Destined to save the planet.

Laterre is on the brink of war. The Third Estate are rioting against the injustices of a corrupt system. The Patriarche, reeling from the murder of his only heir, makes brutal attempts to quash the unrest, while a new militant faction launches a series of deadly attacks.

And three outlaws find themselves pulled into the fray...

Marcellus is now a traitor to his planet, willing to do anything to stop his grandfather from seizing control of Laterre, even if it means joining the Vangarde, a rebel group back from the dead.

Chatine is a prisoner on Bastille. Desperate to survive the harsh conditions of the moon, she becomes embroiled in the Vangarde’s dangerous attempt to free their infamous leader.

Alouette is a fugitive who has been lied to her entire life. Searching for the truth about her mysterious past, she soon finds herself hunted by the Regime for reasons she’s only beginning to understand.

But when Laterre is threatened by the emergence of a deadly new weapon, these three renegades must risk everything, traveling to the far reaches of the System Divine and into the white hot center of a planet ready to ignite.

“ACTUAL RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½ I wasn't expecting to enjoy Between Burning Worlds as much as I did since I felt just okay when it comes to the first novel in this series (Sky Without Stars). I'm usually not the type of person who normally picks up science fiction novels, however, if you tie-in a reimagining of something that is already existing then, yes, I will give it a try. Les Misérables is one of my favorite plays so that is part of the reason I was interested in picking this specific series up. WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THIS NOVEL: I'm usually the type of person who doesn't really care for a heavy number of sci-fi novels due to the amount of information that always comes with it. However, with Between Burning Worlds and its first novel being also a retelling of one of my favorite Broadway plays/feature films, I thought it would be very interesting to see how tying these two together, and honestly, I was a little hesitant to even pick the series as a whole up. The characters are honestly the main reason why I surprisingly adore this series. Most chapters of this novel is only my favorite and then there are other chapters that are my least favorite, and that is perfectly normal when it comes to reading. WHAT I DISLIKED ABOUT THIS NOVEL: If it wasn't for my love for the characters, I think I would've DNF'ed this series in a heartbeat. I took two stars off when it comes to my rating due how various scenes were dragged out and it was very unnecessary, and it's part of the reason why I took my time with this novel.”
