Sky Without Stars

Les Mis plus Lunar Chronicles is a good way to describe this

I know the Les Mis story well, but this retelling changes enough that I'm still left guessing what will happen

It's pretty fast paced, but also focuses on the characters enough to really understand motivations behind each character's actions

I listened to the audiobook, and I'm basically obsessed. It's been a while since a book has captured my attention so thoroughly. Fantastically told story

unfortunately ends in a pretty big cliff hanger. I have a pretty big dislike for those when they feel tacked on unnecessarily, but this one isn't bad because it feels like the story is just too big for one book and the three books are all one continuous story

I also had book two ready to dive into immediately, which helped too

Perfect series to binge read
