If it does have plot twists that can be compared to that, then I'm definitely game to read it. This does sound very good, and up my alley as a non-hardcore fan of scifi. Lovely review, Aylee! Can't wait to read this one myself!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-24426112775149321152013-12-03T22:07:22.707-07:002013-12-03T22:07:22.707-07:00I loved this one as well :D the voices were indeed...I loved this one as well :D the voices were indeed distinct, and while Lilac annoyed me with her pettiness at first, I grew to love them both individually and together. The narration was also very haunting. Do you remember that scene where they watched the ship go down in flames? God, that gave me GOOSEBUMPS.

I love a good plot twist, especially when I don't see it coming. I am always a little unsure about Titanic inspired novels, but this one I am excited about. <br /><br />Thanks for the review Aylee! ~Sara @ Just Another Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870692977272702662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-60657650594999166582013-11-30T14:46:18.193-07:002013-11-30T14:46:18.193-07:00These Broken Stars is at the top of my wishlist at...These Broken Stars is at the top of my wishlist at the moment- it sounds amazing :)Sally@Always Lost in Storieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855315495596558874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-83794769169013914612013-11-30T13:56:16.503-07:002013-11-30T13:56:16.503-07:00Oh, wow! sounds like you really like it!
It sounds...Oh, wow! sounds like you really like it!<br />It sounds like it's pretty good - I hadn't been interested because I don't like Titanic-type plots, and that was all I had heard about this one - but you say it's a lot more than that, right?<br />So I'll try to check it out Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-57047902443591588472013-11-29T09:35:32.106-07:002013-11-29T09:35:32.106-07:00I'll admit I was a tad bit skeptical about thi...I'll admit I was a tad bit skeptical about this one when I got my hands on an ARC...I was scared that it sounded to good to be true XD But then the positive buzz started coming in and your review just seals the deal for me!! I love love love how you describe all those WTF moments, the characters and the plot! And you know I'm a HUGE sci-fi geek so yeah, I'm psyched :D I've been on a review-book-break for some me reading (to get me out of my slump) BUT I believe this one is in my near future!

We seem to agree on a lot of the same points. TBS definitely had awesome plot twists and THAT point in the story, I was like "NOO, WTF?". I loved the dual perspectives, too, and ugh that romance <3 I have to agree that the scientific stuff isn't all entirely convincing, but hey, who wants to read a science textbook? ;) Lovely review, Aylee!

I'm so glad you did too! The characters and the whole survivalist aspect is what I loved the most. I wasn't a huge fan of the sci fi plot side either it got kind of confusing eh?

I though the characterization, like you said, was spectacular and I couldn't have loved the way the romance unfolded any more if I tried.
