“But who names a starship the Icarus? What kind of man possess that much hubris, that he dares it to fall?”

Oh man, I've just ridden the roller coaster that is YA Sci-Fi and what a ride it was. Sci-Fi isn't my go to genre, I normally find a lot lacking in detailed mechanical descriptions and mechanical characters to boot, but I really love the world that Kaufman and Spooner were able to create. The romance is slightly predictable and the ending is slightly underwhelming, but the story is very heartfelt and captivating - it's a page turner! Looking forward to the sequel!
