There is some weird pseudo-science stuff that is essentially explained away using Clarke's Axiom "Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic". The pace slackens a bit from the first novel but, considering it's mostly about a team of human emissaries traveling to another star system, it cruises along pretty well. By the end of the book, she is a 'Martian', quarantined away from her home planet, and now facing a mission to another star system to try and deal with a vastly superior alien threat.#2 - StarboundA solid middle volume. At the beginning of the story, Carmen Dula is leaving her Florida home to go live on Mars for a few years with her family. One of the more interesting aspects was the way Haldeman subtly managed to change the voice of the protagonist as she grew up from a teenage girl into a young woman. Reviewing the full trilogy, (here be spoilers).#1 - MarsboundQuite a good book and a very good opener to the trilogy. And that's the one thing Tavia Michaels swore she'd never do. Only problem? To do so would mean rejecting Benson's love. But what Tavia doesn't know is that the world is literally falling apart and that to save it she will have to unite with the boy in her visions. Tavia feels torn between the boy who mysteriously comes to her at night and the boy who has been by her side every step of the way.
No one, that is, except for her best friend and longtime crush, Benson. Now, Tavia is on the run with no one to trust. But when Tavia discovers that the aunt and uncle who took her in after her parents' death may have actually been responsible for the plane crash that killed them- and that she may have been the true intended victim-she flees for the safety of Camden, Maine, where the boy she sees in her visions instructs her to go. Tavia immediately searches for answers, desperate to determine why she feels so drawn to a boy she hardly knows. When she starts to see strange visions of a boy she’s never spoken with in real life, she begins to suspect that there’s much about her past that she isn’t being told.
Tavia Michaels is the sole survivor of the plane crash that killed her parents. Give it to fans of Beautiful Creatures and Nightshade. #1 New York Times bestselling author Aprilynne Pike has created a heart-stopping romance built on a love triangle like you’ve never seen before and filled with epic stakes and a centuries-long conspiracy.
