Defy the Stars is written in an edgy free-verse style that will appeal to fans of Ellen Hopkins and Lisa Schroeder; however, the writing is accessible enough to speak to non-verse fans as well. One great novel playing the old theme of colonies of Earth going rogue, but in this case we are presented their point of view. Defy The Stars was a complex sci-fi story with a great cast of characters that pull all the plot points together perfectly.

Well written and a fabulous story. After a surprise attack, Noemi finds herself stranded in space on an abandoned ship where she meets Abel, the most sophisticated mech prototype ever made.

I felt as though it touched on so many themes and locations without ever really exploring anything other than the "super-mech" that is Abel and his enforced isolation leading to the development of his Humanity. It leaves you wanting to know more about what might happen next between these two characters

I had questions at the end that makes me glad there will be a sequel because I feel like there is so much more here to explore. But, as the novel goes on and they spend their time together – they get to know other. My daughter really enjoyed this book. Theirs were stories that transcend space and planet saving and the uncertainty of a future on a ship. Gr 8 Up—The planet Genesis is at war again.

I found the plot interesting and unique; set in a future where humans have ventured into space as they face a population and climate issue back on Earth.

I’ve read A Thousand Pieces of You awhile ago and really enjoyed it, so I’m hoping I’ll enjoy her other writing just as much.

This was an easy-going dystopian sci-fi in which once again, Earth has caused its own destruction, and is trying to establish colonies on other habitable planets.
