Goodreads Synopsis
Yalena Russo, your STAR Academy invitation has arrived.
Unlike other teenagers across the near worlds, Yalena isn't space-crazed. But a surprise invitation to join the exclusive STAR Academy opens a window to her unknown origins, making her ponder… What if space is where she belongs?
Mystified by the leadership trio known as the O'Donnells, as well as the reason they brought her on board, Yalena stumbles onto an alarming secret. Pulled deeper into the mystery by the commander's son, she will find that some riddles can be hard to walk away from—especially if she is the one holding the answers.
Take a plunge into the not-so-near future, where travel is interplanetary, competition is a rush, and even the elite don't always play by the rules.
Review
So I was meant to be reading this as part of a read-along held by the author herself and was meant to run to the 30th May. I finished the book on 7th May. I could not put this book down. I tried to stick to the chapter breakdown but honestly I ended up just speeding through the book, eager to know what was going to happen.
The Unsound Theory hit all the things I look for in a book. The plot was gripping and intense, the characters were relatable and fierce and the story as a whole was incredibly well written. I found myself drawn to the characters, especially Yalena and loved their development throughout the book.
It's so hard not to talk about what happened in the book because I don't want to spoil the plot for anyone. Please go read this book. It's so important to support independent publishers!
If you love action packed, rule-breaking students in space then this is the book for you! I honestly cannot wait to pick up the next two books in this series!
Rating: 5/5 stars
