Synopsis

Six teens struggle to discover the source of their strange and horrific abilities in this first book of the Star Shards Chronicles.

Dillon has the terrifying power to create massive amounts of destruction with the slightest tweak of his will. Deanna is so consumed by fear, it has become like a black hole, drawing to her the very things that terrify her. Then, when the glare of a supernova sixteen light-years away illuminates the night sky, they have a vision: There are six of them out there, all teenagers, and all suffering from supernatural afflictions that disfigure their bodies and souls. Only by finding one another will the six ever be strong enough to defeat these mysterious forces that, bit by bit, are devouring their souls from the inside out.

Acclaimed author Neal Shusterman "combines personal quest, horror, and science fiction into an absorbing exploration of good and evil, guilt, forgiveness and personal responsibility" (VOYA) in this thrilling start to a riveting trilogy.

3.5 stars Let me start by saying I absolutely love Neal Shusterman and his books. This book, however, was less than stellar for me. The concept was interesting, the characters were fun and all…my problem was with the writing. It just felt more elementary, and the themes were very obvious to me. I gue......more

Goodreads review by Choco on August 15, 2024

Cortísimo. Casi parece un relato largo. Tiene cosas que me recuerdan al mejor Shusterman... sin llegar a serlo. Una especie de proto-Shusterman donde casi se le puede ver, pero le faltan aún las huellas digitales o la definición de los rasgos. No sé por qué creí que la cosa iría de superpoderes. Y as......more

Pour tout vous dire, je l'ai abandonné. Je suis passée complètement à côté.. Les personnages ne sont pas attachants et l'histoire est vraiment trop chelou pour moi 😅......more
