Actual rating: 1.5 stars.
The romance isn't too bad in this one if you forget the fact that it's an Insta love romance. It has a good amount of cringe worthy moments that'll make you vomit in your mouth, same amount of wish fulfillment wankery and moments of intense eye rolling. But this time with sexy times! Sex in a bed! Sex in a dirt hole! Sex against a tree! Whoo hoo, sex, baby, yeah!
>_>
So why did I read it despite disliking the first book?
Answer: The narrator is pretty great and it was free on Kindle Unlimited. I was curious on where the story would go, so I decided to give it a chance, and I was entertained. I can see why people like the book even though it's not really my cup of tea. And yet, I'll probably end up listening to the last book, because at this point, why not?
I almost gave Sea of Stars 2 stars because it is a better novel than the first. But thanks to that ridiculous plot twist at the end, I'm knocking off half a star. Review to come.

Can you please listen to the final book so Nobs has somebody to talk to. Her book hangover is way too intense for my liking and her lack of soul.

@Kelly, lololololol. Well I obviously have to now because I've come too far to quit. Plus, Nobs needs me.
Is this the series where the narrator is called Kricket? Did this book offer any explanation as to why she was named after an insect, or do we just have to accept the fact that she takes the number one spot for Most Stupid YA Name?
They did say in the first book why they named her Kricket. Something about the way the crickets chirping told soldiers no enemies were around, so they were safe when the crickets were happy. If anything started moving the crickets were silent. Thus, human "Kricket" was prophesied to keep them safe, or something like that.
