The Risers. I loved the concept of the Risers and how they are treated as outcasts in the Zodiac society.

Russell has done some amazing worldbuilding here!

The Zodiac worlds. I just love the concept of the worlds of Zodiac and how they’re affected by their signs.

Of course, she might not get to choose whether or not to lead. She’s overwhelmed with guilt over Mathias’s and her father’s deaths (not to mention many other citizens of Cancer) and she’s pretty much given up on being a leader. This second book picked up right where the first left off-after the destruction of Cancer, Rho and her brother are refugees of sorts on Capricorn. It’s been a long time since I read the first book in this series (I probably should have actually participated in the rereadathon of the first book, but I just didn’t have time), so it took me a little bit of time to remember what was happening, but once I got myself warmed up, I found that I was enthralled with the worlds of the Zodiac once again! Now Rho must embark on a high-stakes journey through an all-new set of Houses, where she discovers that there's much more to her Galaxy-and to herself-than she could have ever imagined. Then, unwelcome nightmare that he is, Ochus appears to Rho, bearing a cryptic message that leaves her with no choice but to fight. Orphaned, disgraced, and stripped of her title, Rho is ready to live life quietly, as an aid worker in the Cancrian refugee camp on House Capricorn.īut news has spread that the Marad-an unbalanced terrorist group determined to overturn harmony in the Galaxy-could strike any House at any moment. My content rating: YA (Nothing more than kissing shown)Ī breathtaking sci-fi space saga inspired by astrology that will stun fans of the Illuminae Files and Starbound series.
