Soul of Stars Hardcover – 23 July 2019

Another really brilliant novel by Ash Poston!! I read the whole thing in a few hours, completely incapable of putting it down.After the cliffhanger at the end of "Heart of Iron" you wonder how the galaxy is ever going to survive, and the tension barely lets up throughout the entire of "Soul of Stars". No matter who your favourite characters are, you're going to have some very, very tense moments.I laughed a lot, I cried A LOT, and I called a couple of reveals that made me genuinely GASP when I was proved right. If you want a rollercoaster of a ride with a very satisfying, yet open ending, please pick this up!!(And though it's a duology, I think - I hope that Ash might return to this universe at some point in the future? Pretty please??)

Bought this for a fifteen year old relative (girl) and so far she loves it! She asked fir it especially as a post exam gift.

Hands down my favorite series, the hardcovers are so worth the money :)))

Such a satisfying ending. I only wish there was more to come! Great characters, best action and a wonderful escape.

Was a let down for me after the first one. I was already debating wether to buy it or not and I should have gone with not .

I loved this book…and the first! Can that be my whole review? I loved Heart of Iron and Soul of Stars is just as good. Jax and Robb and Ana and Di and and and, so many cinnamon roles and such a great story. Please say there could be a book 3.

Series Info/Source: 2nd book in the Heart of Iron duology. I bought this book.Story (4/5): I didn’t enjoy this quite as much as the last book but I am struggling to pinpoint why. I think there was just too much jumping around between characters. All the jumping around was a bit jarring and I just never fell into the story like I did with the first one.Characters (4/5): I feel like this book was a lot more focused on Jax and Robb than Ana and Di. Part of this is probably because Di is taken over by the HIVE for a lot of the book. Again, the short chapters that jumped from character to character prevented me from really engaging with the characters deeply.Setting (4/5): The sci-fi world that is built here is very well done and detailed. Good world building in general.Writing Style (4/5): The writing flowed well and was really easy to read but, again, the short chapters and constant jumping between POVs was distracting and made the story feel disjointed.Summary (4/5): Overall this book sums up the duology nicely. This was an easy read and I enjoyed the world and the characters. I felt like this story jumped around a lot more than the first book did and that resulted in me just not being as engaged in this book. It was still well done, it just didn’t blow me away like the first book did.
