Bout Of Books 11.0 - One True Pairing Challenge

Okay, so for this challenge all need to do is chose a One True Pairing couple from a book. I don't know if it will come out as a surprise but it is HAZEL AND AUGUSTUS FROM THE FAULT IN OUT STARS

I love this couple because their story is so beautiful and at the same time tragic. It might be sad but it is still extremely beautiful to me. If you have not read The Fault In Our Stars it is about two kids that fall in love within the numbered days they have left. This book is so amazing and has so many good quotes. If you pick up this book, well, you won't put it down until you are heartbroken by it. As characters they are just so strong and they don't stop living, only because they are sick. As a quote from the movie says "Life doesn't have to be perfect for love to be extraordinary. I won't go into much detail because I will give out the entire book... If you have not read the book, go and buy it. You won't regret it!

THESE BROKEN STARS REVIEW

These broken stars looks like a romance book from its cover, promoted as a science fiction one and written as a survival story. It is the first book from the “Starbound” series.

The story is about two young people stuck on a terraformed planet by themselves with no other humans on it when their spaceship falls out of hyperspace.

The book is definitely in the sci-fi genre, though the spaceship parts take place only in the first chapters. After that the two main characters are stuck on an unknown planet. The girl is the daughter of the richest man in the universe and the boy – a soldier, who is now a major. The authors(Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner) have taken a difficult task telling it from two POV’s – Lilac and Tarver’s. I was never confused while reading. I could easily differentiate Tarver and Lilac’s points of views. I also loved how much character development was in the book. Their characters were developed beautifully. 

Being a YA book, you can expect to find romance in it. The love story, in fact, is there. But it happens slowly and it doesn't feel forced. That is the thing about this novel. The love story is a subplot.

 

 

These broken stars is a book combining a few genres – sci-fi, romance and survival. These genres create an amazing survival story which is just as compelling as it is exhilarating. It is a gripping read with quite a few jaw-dropping moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Rating: 4.5

The sequel "THIS SHATTERED WORLD" will be out in December.
