Week 30 Review: Soul of Stars

From Goodreads:
The highly anticipated sequel to Heart of Iron, Soul of Stars is a thrilling sci-fi adventure packed with romance, shocking twists, and witty banter, perfect for fans of Six of Crows and Cinder.

Once Ana was an orphaned space outlaw. Then she was the Empress of the Iron Kingdom. Now, thought dead by most of the galaxy after she escaped from the dark AI program called the HIVE, Ana is desperate for a way to save Di from the HIVE's evil clutches and take back her kingdom.

Ana's only option is to find Starbright, the one person who hacked into the HIVE and lived to tell the tale. But when Ana's desperation costs the crew of the Dossier a terrible price, Ana and her friends are sent spiraling through the most perilous reaches of the Iron Kingdom to stop the true arbiter of evil in her world: an ancient world-ending deity called the Great Dark.

Their journey will take their sharp-witted pilot, Jax, to the home he never wanted to return to and the dangerous fate he left behind. And when Robb finds out who Jax really is, he must contend with his own feelings for the boy he barely knows, and question whether he truly belongs with this group of outcasts.

When facing the worst odds, can Ana and her crew of misfits find a way to stop the Great Dark once and for all?

My Review:
Oh, it was so great to read this book! It's been a while since I read the first book, so I was a little fuzzy on the details, so I should've reread it, but I just wanted to know what was going to happen in this book, so I just went ahead with reading it. We don't get a full recap, but some details were mentioned. So that was good!

We were in a few people's head this book. We were in Ana's head, Jax's head, Robb's head, and the Emperor's head, also known as Di. So that was a pretty good range of characters, and we got to shift between them, which was pretty fantastic, and made from some pretty evil cliffhanger chapters endings!

Ana had to deal with feelings of hopelessness, of the fear of failure. Jax had to deal with his past. Robb with his metal arm and his feelings for Jax. And Di, well, there's the whole thing where he was controlled by HIVE, and who he turned out to be. Yeah. kinda pretty intense!

There was this moment near the end when I realized who the Goddess was. There were a few clues, and then they just came together, and I did figure it out before it was really revealed, which was a pretty good feeling!

This book was so fantastic, and I can't wait to read more books by Ashley Poston!
