I received a free digital copy from the author/publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Split the Sun is the second book in Tessa Elwood's Inherit the Stars series but it follows a completely different character than those in Inherit the Stars, on a completely different planet. Kit Franks is the daughter of a terrorist - her mother blew up a lab, killing people and unleashing a virus on the power source for the district. Now Kit needs to deal with the hatred directed at her because of her mother's actions, while also figuring out if her mom left some clues behind for her to follow.

I really enjoyed this one and it's a book I've been anticipating reading because I really fell in love with Inherit the Stars. While I was a bit disappointed Asa and Eagle weren't in this one at all, I did highly enjoy Kit's individual story. And just like Inherit the Stars, Split the Sun was an extremely fast-paced, dramatic read. There were times I felt for Kit a lot as it seemed like she never had a break to even rest, it was always one thing or another.

I really liked the story around Kit and her mother and their history. I think I would have liked a bit more world building, though we got it to some extent with The Prime and how Kit explained who he was. I think people could read Split the Sun before Inherit the Stars and not be too spoiled for the first book as there it very little links between the two - though I hope if there's another book, all the character meet up. I wasn't sure about Kit and Niles relationship at first - it seemed to good to be true and Niles kind of just appeared out of nowhere. I wasn't quite as invested in the relationship as I was with Asa and Eagle's, and I would have been okay if Niles backed away as Kit is a character who can stand on her own two feet.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book though I don't think I was quite as in love with it as Inherit the Stars. I really hope there is a third book!
