Pros
- I read books 1 and 2 a couple months ago... I think I'll read book 3 today or tomorrow though, I'm super excited for it!
- It's such a good trilogy, and a refreshing breath of fresh air from a publishing industry that seems increasingly terrified of publishing science fiction
- the covers for this series are INCREDIBLE
- It amazes me that this is a debut. I'm no space opera connoisseur, but Jacobs' characters, and the way the plot weaves around them, are superb. There was no one I wasn't interested in seeing more of
- I'm here to wax lyrical about These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs. I couldn't put it down and genuinely can't remember the last time I was so excited to dive straight into the next book in a series.
Cons
- I wish I liked it but I just couldn’t stand one of the POVs. It just felt try-hard to me

I found the story really thrilling and a lot of fun, although I had some issues with the worldbuilding. ... This book is for all the villain protagonist/antihero enjoyers out there — a HUGE factor of why I liked it so much is that two pivotal characters, Esek and Six, are pretty messed up.
