Me da mucha pena tener que dejar rating a esta historia porque como una de mis compañeras de LC bien dijo, la idea era muy buena pero esto no se desarrolló. Es un sin sentido todo, y terminamos leyendo un libro Sci-Fi que en ninguna parte del libro da a entender que lo sea. Los plot twist se sabían, no estaban para nada disimulados. En fin, que esta historia ha sido una decepción total, al menos para mi.
Como siempre digo, leerlo si les apetece y formarse su propia opinión.

Shea Ernshaw has become someone I want to read. Her plots are so creative and this one was so compelling and thought-provoking that it will stay with me for a long time. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFMvjuW9/

I just could not get into the story. I read up to chapter 5 and just nothing. I might come back to it at a later time just can’t keep reading it. It’s very slow placed on an adventure.

"every life is a story ... and our story will belong to someone else someday. they will tell it, write it down, maybe even name stars after us."

good writing and an interesting premise. however extremely slow pacing. this book left me feeling frustrated and melancholy.

When you think you know what’s happening, you still haven’t learned what’s happening. This is an odd book with an interesting but dark plot. It’s a scary dystopian future that requires a little effort to unravel

A Wilderness of Stars is a haunting YA dystopian tale set in a world much like our own. The story follows Vega, the last remaining Astronomer who is destined to save her people from a mysterious illness. In order to do this, she must find the Architect but the journey is paved with danger. This novel is equal parts enchanting and heartbreaking with lush and immersive writing. Ernshaw slowly unravels the mysteries in the story and keeps the reader on edge until the shocking yet hopeful conclusion. This is a beautifully written YA sci-fi novel with a dash of romance that explores love, survival, grief and fate.

For fans of The Last Cuentista, The Electric Kingdom and The Hunger Games.

I was honestly so shocked by this book. I didn't think I'd end up liking it as much as I did. I was so surprised. It's such a beautiful and interesting story.

Thank you so much to Simon & Schuster and Netgalley for providing an advanced copy of this. All thoughts and opinions are still my own.

Any book that can make me cry is an automatic 5 star
