Thank you to NetGalley and Albert Whitman & Company for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Eclipse the Skies is the final book in a duology written by Maura Milan so my review is going to be as spoiler free as I possibly can make it.
Synopsis for the first book:
Everyone in the universe knows his name. Everyone in the universe fears him. But no one realizes that notorious outlaw Ia Cōcha is a seventeen-year-old girl.
Ia, a criminal mastermind and unrivalled pilot has spent her life terrorizing the Olympus Commonwealth until she is captured and her identity exposed. The Commonwealth are quick to take her capture and her age as an opportunity to force her to work for them whilst proving that no one is beyond their control.
Trapped in the military academy, plotting her escape, Ia meets Brinn, a student with a closely-held secret, and their charming Flight Master Knives. Ia finds herself questioning her own alliances and realises that she needs to get out of the Commonwealth's clutches before these bonds deepen.
Now on to my review of the second book...
This is a series I had never heard of but was intrigued by the synopsis. Honestly, I really loved this series and I’m sad that it’s over. Maura Milan has created a universe which you find yourself escaping to. This book left me in shambles and I honestly felt myself tearing up at the end. While is was an epic conclusion I wish it hadn’t ended that way.
This is a story of three main characters who are slowly finding out who they really are and fighting for what they truly believe in. I adore Ia, Brinn and Knives and found myself constantly rooting for them throughout the book. These characters were relatable, likable and honestly what I love in main characters.
This book was a lot more serious than its predecessor, focusing on crucial topics such as oppression but felt a lot more action packed and full of twists. I did find myself missing the humour from the first book and felt that at times the book really dragged parts out and rushed through others however I will really miss this series and really do recommend giving it a read!
Rating: 4/5 stars
