Explosive action and swoon-worthy suspense collide in Steelstriker, the riveting conclusion to the Skyhunter duet from #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu. As a Striker, Talin was taught loyalty is life. Loyalty to the Shield who watches your back, to the Strikers who risk their lives on the battlefield, and most of all, to Mara, which was once the last nation free from the Karensa Federation's tyranny. But Mara has fallen. And its destruction has unleashed Talin's worst nightmare. With her friends scattered by combat and her mother held captive by the Premier, Talin is forced to betray her fellow Strikers and her adopted homeland. She has no choice but to become the Federation's most deadly war machine as their newest Skyhunter. Red is no stranger to the cruelty of the Federation or the torture within its Skyhunter labs, but he knows this isn't the end for Mara - or Talin. The link between them may be weak, but it could be Talin and Red's only hope to salvage their past and safeguard their future. While the fate of a broken world hangs in the balance, Talin and Red must reunite the Strikers and find their way back to each other in this smoldering sequel to Marie Lu's Skyhunter.

Why do I have 2 copies? Excellent question. I was organizing my bookcase & saw Skyhunter. I knew, just knew I had a copy of Steelstriker. But could I find it? Of course not. I figured I was mistaken & ordered a new copy. Well, guess what. Today I found my original copy. Tucked into a fabric dust cover & then lost under a stack of other things.

My mistake can be your gain. I‘m giving away the copy. To enter, just comment below.

wanderinglynn Enter by 8pm EDT Sunday, July 30. Winner to be announced shortly thereafter. I will mail international. 1y

This wasn't as thrilling as the first one in the series. I loved Skyhunter and maybe that made me to have too high hopes for this one. This had really predictable plot. Writing was good but this didn't make me feel something.

The Steelstrker which is the sequel to Marie Lu‘s Skyhunter is a ok book that I don‘t think I would read again. While it isn‘t really a bad book I can‘t say it was particularly good by any means. The story was interesting but I didn‘t captivate me as much as the first book. The story follows Talin and Red in their journey of reclaiming Mara by taking down the Karensa Federation.

Gus.Nixon After the events of the previous book we find that Constantine is holding Talin‘s mother hostage and because of that Talin has been forced to become a skyhunter and serve as Constantines personal guard. This novel has loss as a major theme. Every character throughout the book loses at lease one person or thing. Red for example loses Talin to the federation. 3y
Gus.Nixon I think you would like this book if you enjoy science fiction stories that tell the tale of an underdog winning out over the threat looming over them. 3y
MissYaremcio Nicely done Gus! That's the worst - when you love the first one, but are not a big fan of the second! This post was on POV but overall it was wonderful. 4/6 3y

I don't see myself as a fantasy reader, however I can't imagine not enjoying a Marie Lu novel. Descriptive narrative puts me to sleep, yet she does it SO WELL. Then she packs the story with action, while giving readers relationships of all kinds to value. This duology from Lu is no exception.

I'm hopeful to get to meet her at an upcoming festival.

Tagged book (Steelstriker) is my #doublespin book and I started it, got to 36%, and realized I didn't care one wit about it...so I DNF'd it.

I finished my #bookspin book, though. I actually DNF'd a few books this month, altogether four books total.

22 books knocked off my TBR...and only 3 books that I never got to. 8 Bingo's total!

@theAromaofBooks --Thank you for hosting this challenge and I'm looking forward to next year.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Fantastic month!!! 3y

The second book in a series, Steelstriker continues the war against the Federation with Red leading the rebels & Talin acting as the evil Premiers Skyhunter, a lethal weapon/bodyguard (against her will through a mental link). Still naturally linked to Red she must act behind enemy lines keeping the two men in her head out of her head. Just like the first book, Skyhunter, this one is also YA with the most beautiful cover and book jacket.
