Sea of Strangers (The Ryogan Chronicles #2) by Erica Cameron

Publication Date: December 5, 2017

Publisher: Entangled Teen

Know your enemy if you want to survive…

The only way for Khya to get her brother back alive is to kill Varan—the immortal ruler who can’t be killed. But not even Varan knew what he was doing when he perverted magic and humanity to become immortal.

Khya’s leading her group of friends and rebels into the mountains that hold Varan’s secrets, but if risking all their lives is going to be worth it, she has to give up everything else—breaking the spell that holds her brother captive and jeopardizing her deepening relationship with Tessen, the boy who has been by turns her rival and refuge since her brother disappeared. Immortality itself might be her only answer, but if that’s where Khya has to go, she can’t ask Tessen or her friends to follow.

Excerpt:

 The sight of him against the stone sparks a memory that makes my hands still. I laugh. “You know, it’s several moon cycles late, but we’re finally exactly where the entire city thought we were when we kept sneaking off.”

“I’m glad they’re finally right.” He runs his free hand up my bare thigh, his touch and his voice shaky, but it’s the wide-eyed disbelief on his face that makes my heart skip a beat. “I hoped, but I wasn’t sure it’d ever happen.”

I sit up straighter, flattening my palm against the center of his chest and watching him. “The way you’re looking at me, it seems like you’re still not sure it’s happening.”

“The good moments have been rare recently.” His hand slides over my hip and presses against the center of my lower back, drawing me down until his lips brush against mine before he whispers, “And this is unbelievably good.”

Review - Satellite by Nick Lake

Title: Satellite

Author: Nick Lake

Pages: 480

Publisher: Hodder Children's Books

Release Date: 5th October 2017

Blurb from Goodreads: 

A teenage boy born in space makes his first trip to Earth.

He’s going to a place he’s never been before: home.

Moon 2 is a space station that orbits approximately 250 miles above Earth. It travels 17,500 miles an hour, making one full orbit every ninety minutes. It’s also the only home that fifteen-year-old Leo and two other teens have ever known.

Born and raised on Moon 2, Leo and the twins, Orion and Libra, are finally old enough and strong enough to endure the dangerous trip to Earth. They’ve been “parented” by teams of astronauts since birth and have run countless drills to ready themselves for every conceivable difficulty they might face on the flight.

But has anything really prepared them for life on terra firma? Because while the planet may be home to billions of people, living there is more treacherous than Leo and his friends could ever have imagined, and their very survival will mean defying impossible odds.

My Review:

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Hachette Children's Group and NetGalley*

Leo was born in Moon 2, a space station that orbits the Earth. He has never set foot on Earth. Not yet.

Once Leo is sixteen, he and his friends Orion and Libra, who are twins that were also born in Moon 2, will be allowed to travel to Earth.

The trio can't wait for the day they escape Moon 2, but will Earth be everything they expected?

Or will they wish they'd never left?

I love space and science so I was intrigued to read Satellite.

I liked Leo. The way he saw/thought of the Earth was unique and refreshing.

I appreciated that romance wasn't a huge part of this book. There was only a minuscule amount.

The plot was interesting and held my attention. I'm not sure how plausible it was, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I'm not sure why the space station was called Moon 2. Was the ISS Moon 1? Maybe I missed something.

The text speak did annoy me at first but then I got used to it/ignored it.

Overall this was an enjoyable read.
