Gr 9 Up—This sequel picks up exactly where Amid Stars and Darkness left of—with Delaney's kidnapping. Discovering Zane Trystan, prince of the Kint, is her captor, she soon realizes that it will be a very long time before she sees home again. She tries to stay in contact with an imprisoned Ruckus—her boyfriend—and escape Trystan's advances, unaware that the king of the Kint is staging a plot that could endanger all of their homes. Feener expands the world of Xenith and more time is given to Delaney and Trystan's backstories, which will help readers better understand their motivations. New and old characters are fleshed out and push the action forward. An unresolved love triangle leaves teens wondering who Delaney will eventually choose. The cliff-hanger ending will keep fans anxiously anticipating the trilogy's conclusion.
VERDICT Those who devoured the first book will be excited to continue adventures on Xenith. A first purchase where science fiction and romance are popular.
