Southern Sun, Northern Star is the incredible finale to the Glass Alliance trilogy. I absolutely could not put this book down! Ali has joined the resistance, taking on dangerous missions to attempt to stop the approaching war. Meanwhile, Athan is forced to lead his squadron into increasingly dangerous air battles. Ali and Athan must decide what to do when they discover dangerous secrets that could save or doom the lives of many. The choices they make will either bring them closer to peace or permanently shatter their love.

With real historical details woven in, this story is one that will capture the hearts of history buffs and YA romance readers alike. The writing is beautifully descriptive and immersive. You feel like you’re there on the ground as planes fly overhead and sweat drips down your spine. Hathaway expertly shows how much all the characters have changed from their first meeting in Dark of the West and how their choices had consequences. I loved watching Ali and Athan reach for each other over insurmountable obstacles. They have such a breathtaking and heartfelt love story that made me smile and cry equally hard as it concluded. The supporting characters are extremely compelling, all with an important role to play in the politics of war where there are no simple choices.

Southern Sun, Northern Star is written with hauntingly gorgeous prose. This is a book that forces you to look at war from every side, see the effect that it has on humanity, and reflect on the past. If you like reading action-packed war stories filled with love and extraordinary characters- then you need to read this series! The Glass Alliance is one of my favorite trilogies and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you so very much to Joanna Hathaway, Tor Teen, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
