Hunting by Stars

This book isn't quite as outstanding as the first one was, I'm not surprised to read that the author had not initially intended to write it. This isn't to say that it isn't good, it is good, but that the pacing and the story itself seems a bit stilted for a good chunk of it (in comparison to The Marrow Thieves). That being said, when the story picks up, my does it pick up steam quickly and then it gut punches you repeatedly.
