Supernova by Kass Morgan

Supernova (Light Years, #2)

by Kass Morgan

Kass Morgan, New York Times bestselling author of The 100, once again delivers pulse-pounding action and glittering romance in this thrilling sequel to Light Years.

Tensions are rising between the Quatrans and the Specters, and the Quatra Fleet is gearing up for an epic fight. With a galaxy on the brink of war and loyalties divided, the friendship of four cadets will be tested.

Orelia has been arrested for espionage, and her future is looking bleak . . . until the Quatrans make her a surprising offer that could save her life--and the lives of everyone in the galaxy.

Reeling from his breakup, Arran finds comfort in a sympathetic boy from Loos, someone who understands how hard it can be to fit in. But is it enough for Arran to forget his heartbreak?

Cormak's position at the Academy is finally secure. But when someone discovers his treasonous secret, it jeopardizes everything he's fought for, including his relationship with the person he cares about most.

And Vesper is ready to become a superstar officer . . . until she uncovers a conspiracy that shakes her faith in the Quatra Fleet to its core.

As secret machinations come to light, these cadets will be forced to overcome their differences and band together to restore peace to their worlds.

I remember loving the first book in this series, Light Years. Supernova was a highly anticipated book for me, I was pretty excited to read this book and to see how the story ended. But I just couldn't carry on reading. 

I've only read 13% but from that 13% I immediately felt like it was too simple. There was no resistance from the characters about anything that was going on, they accepted everything at face value without question. They had no emotions. I stopped reading in the middle of a dramatic scene because there was no tension or suspense, it was so shallow that I knew they would be alright.

There was zero passion in the story being told, so I had zero passion in wanting to read this book.

    This is a bit... simpler than I remember the first book being. How everyone is accepting things at face value, barely questioning. I really liked the first book but I'm already losing interest in this one. Hopefully it gets a bit more engaging!

    This book is too simple. Everything is just happening so smoothly with lack of any emotion or resistance. I honestly just can't carry on reading this... I'm pretty disappointed.

Crap! I'm so bummed to hear that! I also adored the first book in the series and was really looking forward to this one! D:

@Ashley Honestly, the disappointment was real. I think Kass Morgan's books are a hit or miss for me. I wasn't able to get into The 100 either for similar reasons, even though I loved the TV series at the beginning.

Yeah I actually wasn't crazy about The 100 book either, despite also loving the show! (at first.. lol)
