Waiting on Wednesday #63

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'll be participating in Waiting on Wednesday, and meme originally created by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Jill hasn't been active for a while, so Tressa @ Wishful Endings has adopted it! If you see posts by the name of "Can't Wait Wednesday," it's the same thing!

The book I'm looking forward to this week is Our Dark Stars by Audrey Grey and Krystal Wade!

While she sleeps, the whole universe changes.

Princess Talia Starchaser has it all. Wealth. Status. Adoring citizens. But on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, she’s forced to publicly betray her best friend, a companion mock she’s had since birth, setting events into motion that lead to the destruction of the humans, and the princess floating through space, a remnant of a time when humans ruled over droids.

One hundred years later, half-mock captain Will Perrault and his ragtag crew discover a device floating in space. When a very human Talia emerges from its depths, Will suspects she’s the key to buying his way back into the regiment he once commanded against the last remaining rebel humans—and the ruling mock queen’s good graces.

Both Talia and Will would rather get space-tossed than trust one another, but with the queen’s forces chasing them across the galaxy and the fate of both worlds hanging in the balance, they’ll forge the unlikeliest of alliances to survive.

Here are some stats about the book:
Genre - YA Science Fiction
Release Date - March 6, 2018
Publisher - Blaze Publishing
Pages -316
Why I'm Waiting
What is there not to like? We have science fiction (in space!), two protagonists on the opposite end of the fight (hate to love romance, anyone?), and a human rebellion against aliens! Um...YES!

Plus, the cover is stunning! I got an ARC of this, and let me tell you, I'm reading this as soon as possible. 

The only thing I'm a little bit worried about is how the book is only 316 pages, and it's supposed to be this sprawling science-fiction novel. However, the reviews on goodreads are very positive!

Are you looking forward to Our Dark Stars?

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!

Happy Reading!

  2. Pretty cover indeed! Interesting premise. I'm not usually drawn to space anything - in books anyway - but....maybe. LOL

    1. That's okay!! There's things readers know that they're not into. It's better to keep away then force yourself to read something. :)

  7. YAY for getting an eARC already! That's awesome. I gotta say, the cover looks like a knockoff of These Broken Stars LOL. I do like how shiny it looks!

    Have a wonderful weekend, Genni. =)

    1. Haha, it kind of does!! No swoony love interest on the cover though... *sigh* It's also a bit reminiscent of the Luxe series, but in space!

      Thank you Alyssa! You too. :)
