I'm buddy-reading these with my mom (we started back in January and just started back up again) and the sixty pages we read each day go by in a flash. Each book is distinct, with this one being a frontier drama that deals with how people start societies. Each new POV character is carefully contrasted with those from the previous books, with Poor James Holden and the Weight of the Universe anchoring the rapidly-increasing scope of the series. It's equal parts hard science fiction and escapism, but each book has been built around a carefully-crafted sense of what it has to say.

I was so sad to finish the Willow Falls series when I started this book. Wendy Mass genuinely did a great job of making each book come to life. I would highly recommend this book (and series) to anyone who loves magic (and of course, birthdays).

Good

This was a great book that I enjoyed reading!

I think this book is so cool it starts out as a 2 persepective book like one chapter would be Izzy persepective and the next is kates and the horse named modnight is this butiful talented horse who is the owned by Izzy and some unexpected twist along the way

Great book! Perfect for anyone curious about space, stars, planets, eclipses, and more!

Amazing book!!! The Michael Vey series are so thrilling and are so hard to put down. I cannot wait to read the next!

This was recommended to me rather enthusiastically by some of my students back in January, and while I read it slowly alongside a few other books, the weight of it settled on me as I considered how big global events change everything, even (or perhaps especially?) the day-to-day operation of schools. The global event in this novel is World War II, but the flashback-style narrative is about how a young man comes to understand the circumstances of major events of his youth. It was terrific, and I book I'll remember reading for sure.
