Summary: from good reads
The second installment in the epic Starbound trilogy introduces a new pair of star-crossed lovers on two sides of a bloody war.

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.

Feelings: 
I think I might actually like this story more than the first in the series. We did have a small over lay in characters but mostly it was the same universe. I didn't mind it having new characters because the first in the series, These Broken Stars, was a complete story. This Shattered World did reference the first book enjoy that reading it without having read the first book might have been a little confusing.

The characters in this story, Jubilee and Flynn were interesting characters and I liked them. This book was a little more chaste than the first book. In the first book the characters spend a lot more time together and I felt like they really knew each other. In this story Jubilee and Flynn are just starting to get to know each other so I didn't feel like anything was missing as far as the romance goes.

I really enjoy the universe that is creating in this series. While the both books are grounded on a planet we know that the expanse of the universe is large.

I recommend this series.
