In the dazzling sequel to acclaimed author Oliva A. Cole's YA sci-fi/fantasy debut, A Conspiracy of Stars, Octavia's search to uncover the truth grows more dangerous as she becomes determined to protect her planet's fate. This series is perfect for fans of Amie Kaufman, Veronica Roth, and Pierce Brown!

In the forty years since the Vagantur landed on Faloiv, the planet has existed in a tenuous peace between the humans who live in the enclosed community of N'Terra and the Faloii, the indigenous population. But after uncovering the shadowy secrets of the Council's newly elected leader and helping a kidnapped Faloii man escape, sixteen-year-old Octavia knows that conflict is looming.

Then the Faloii discover the N'Terran's latest experiment: an artificially weaponized creature, and Octavia realizes that it's up to her to prevent her people from causing any further destruction.

As she and her friends set out to understand the scope of humanity's history, nothing can prepare them for what they discover about both their home on Faloiv and the Origin planet. With war on the brink, Octavia must act to change her people's future before the natural balance on the planet shifts forever.

I did not read the first book. However the world built in this duology, coupled with plot twists and characters, whether human, animal, plant or otherwise all combine to make this a fascinating and very satisfying story. I hope the author provides us with more books of similar quality in the future. ( )

This was a beautifully written sequel to “A Conspiracy of Stars”. Originally this was supposed to be a duology, but this book leaves the main conflict wide open. I am hoping we see at least one more book in this series to tie things up.

I absolutely love the planet of Faloiv and all of the interesting beasts and plants there. This setting is amazingly creative and I enjoyed reading about it a ton. I also really loved Octavia and how she interacts with the planet and its natives.

This story helps us learn a lot more about how Faloiv works and a lot more about the humans and how they ended up here. It was intriguing and very fun to read about.

I love Cole’s writing style as well. It flows beautifully and makes this book effortless to read. I was very close to reading the whole book in one sitting...but you know, sleep was needed.

Overall this was an amazing continuation of the Faloiv series. It’s creative, fast-paced, and beautifully written. I really hope this isn’t the last book in the series. I would recommend to those who enjoy science fiction reads about other planets. Especially to those who enjoy reading about alien plant life and animals. ( )
