These are two books I have chosen for #Galaxyathon hosted by @TheBrightSideGirl mostly on You Tube and Instagram, but she is a Litten, too. Heart of Iron is YA and The Lion of Mars is MG.

I didn‘t realize this was a take on the story of Anastasia! It was pretty good and I enjoyed the characters! I did get lost at parts but sometimes I just don‘t focus lol! Interesting YA sci-fi story. I‘d gladly read the next book! #bookspinbingo

I bought this book because I‘d heard it was Anastasia set in space. It so wasn‘t... or was only very loosely, but I loved it. The characters were interesting and the story kept me turning pages. I‘ll definitely read the sequel #Russia (but not)

TheBookHippie OOO this sounds interesting! 4y

Went to the Seoul International fireworks festival yesterday, and we went quite early to get a spot to sit. Managed to start this during the wait and finish it on the ride back, interesting retelling and the overall pace of the book was pretty fast going which was good. That ending though 😱😱😱
Curious to see how it‘ll all wrap up in book 2.

I enjoyed this in spite of the predictability of a lot of its “twists.” It was a fun adventure and I like the world building. I‘m curious where the story goes from here.

@bookandcat @TsundokuAleax

TsundokuAleax Haha. Yeah, it was not surprising but I still love the journey. I will say I am in awe of how much more I love the boys. You don't often get to see such volunerabilty in male characters in scifi/fantasy. 5y

Poston does an amazing job of world building and bringing the reader along for the ride. I fell in love with the space babies and surprised at how much more attached to the boys I was. Since the chapters are told from each of their perspectives, you get a good look into their full interior lives. Di is absolutely precious and goes on the most amazing journey over the course of the book. Robb and Jax are just as precious. #lmpbc

The idea: Anastasia in space. I was completely sold on this from the beginning. The execution was great, with some smart updates to the story. The writing didn‘t always catch me? But the story was great.

There were a lot of things that should have been perfect for me— a pirate crew, a strong protagonist, a princess retelling. But revolving POVs is not my thing. The 2 main characters had a pre-established relationship, which bored me, & I was more into Jax & Robb. And the plot was predictable for the first half. But the writing showed a lot of promise— a good mixture of poignancy & wit. I‘d be interested to see something else by this author! ★★★☆☆.

This book wasnt marketed right. I feel like it shouldnt be marketed as Anastasia in Space. It should be marketed as a Space Opera with notes of Anastasia. I think they did an excellent job exploring AI and feelings. Definitely worth a read.

I just finished this book and I am just sitting here in utter shock. It was amazing! I loved it so much! The story was intense and beautiful and action packed, the characters were so lovable and felt 100% real, and there was a lot of great LGBTQ representation. What a fantastic book! I highly recommend it, especially if you love Sci/Fi and YA.

A sci-fi retelling of Anastasia in space?🤔I couldn't imagine how it could be possible.This is the same author of Geekerella which was ok & cute but in this book she just put pure action.There were funny parts, LGBT elements, cute short romance with not expected ending.It is a YA so don't expect a deep topic about life☺️There were parts that reminded me Illuminae, you will see why if you read it.I enjoyed it 3.6⭐️for a YA.Sometimes it was very YA.

Everything in the description of this book had me excited to jump into it, but in the end it wasn‘t for me. I found the writing sort of disjointed and half finished, despite the book being over 450 pages. As I get older I think most YA fantasy isn‘t for me, so I‘m glad I have this one a try.

✨ First, this book is absolutely gorgeous. I looooove the purple stained pages. I'm not a huge fan of Anastasia, but the space element really drew me in. Some parts of the story were a little... Off? Kind of weird, uncomfortable feeling scenes, but maybe that was the point? I dunno.
✨I'm someone who notices errors in a book, ALOT. Annoyingly so much so, the errors in this book really, really made me struggle through this. Is it Jay or Jax?😫📚

JanuarieTimewalker13 I requested this for the library, it came in, I read about 10 pages (if that much), returned to the library. It‘s a shame bc I liked Geekerella, but I just knew off the bat that this was not what I would like. 7y
abbsinwonderland @JanuarieTimewalker13 I haven't read Geekerella yet, but I've heard alot about it! 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Enjoyable. It taught me the term Cosplay (I‘m old, but apparently should still know that term from Star Wars...I became a nerd too late in life..lol). (edited) 7y
abbsinwonderland @JanuarieTimewalker13 it's never too late! 😉 Cosplay is fun! 7y
