Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac should never have met.
Lee is captain of the forces sent to Avon to crush the terraformed planet's rebellious colonists, but she has her own reasons for hating the insurgents.
Rebellion is in Flynn's blood. Terraforming corporations make their fortune by recruiting colonists to make the inhospitable planets livable, with the promise of a better life for their children. But they never fulfilled their promise on Avon, and decades later, Flynn is leading the rebellion.
Desperate for any advantage in a bloody and unrelentingly war, Flynn does the only thing that makes sense when he and Lee cross paths: he returns to base with her as prisoner. But as his fellow rebels prepare to execute this tough-talking girl with nerves of steel, Flynn makes another choice that will change him forever. He and Lee escape the rebel base together, caught between two sides of a senseless war.
From Goodreads:
A year ago, Flynn Cormac and Jubilee Chase made the now infamous Avon Broadcast, calling on the galaxy to witness for their planet, and protect them from destruction. Some say Flynn's a madman, others whisper about conspiracies. Nobody knows the truth. A year before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were rescued from a terrible shipwreck—now, they live a public life in front of the cameras, and a secret life away from the world's gaze.
Now, in the center of the universe on the planet of Corinth, all four are about to collide with two new players, who will bring the fight against LaRoux Industries to a head. Gideon Marchant is an eighteen-year-old computer hacker—a whiz kid and an urban warrior. He'll climb, abseil and worm his way past the best security measures to pull off onsite hacks that others don’t dare touch.
Sofia Quinn has a killer smile, and by the time you're done noticing it, she's got you offering up your wallet, your car, and anything else she desires. She holds LaRoux Industries responsible for the mysterious death of her father and is out for revenge at any cost.
When a LaRoux Industries security breach interrupts Gideon and Sofia's separate attempts to infiltrate their headquarters, they're forced to work together to escape. Each of them has their own reason for wanting to take down LaRoux Industries, and neither trusts the other. But working together might be the best chance they have to expose the secrets LRI is so desperate to hide.

My first review of This Shattered World, Their Fractured Light
My Review:
I really enjoyed reading reading these books again! I loved them the first time I read them, and I'm glad that I read them pretty close together, since when I first read them, it was as they were coming out, and so details were forgotten then, but being able to go straight into them has been really great!
Each book in this series focuses on a different couple, but there's an underlying connection of whatever was going on with LaRoux and the alien creatures and what was going on there. Each book we learned more, and it grew to the big picture of the series.
I don't have favourites between all the couples in this series. Lilac and Tarver hold a special place, because they were first, but both Lee and Flynn and Sofia and Gideon were both so great to read about! I adored their romances!
Plus there was all this other stuff going on, like a rebellion, which is right, but just because a cause is right, doesn't mean all it's actions are, so that's something that they had to deal with. Not to mention all the secrets that LaRoux Industries! It was all so good, and I really enjoyed how it came together!
Loved reading this books and I can't wait to read more by Amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner, together and seperate!
