For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana PeterfreundMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this book. For Darkness Shows the Stars is based on my favorite Jane Austen novel, Persuasion, so I knew that I would be interested in the story, even if just for comparison's sake - but 40 pages into the book I was crying, just like I had with the original book. Peterfreund's setting, world, and history-building intrigued me, and I really wish maps had been included so we could find out where this post-ERV civilization lives. My heart hurt for Elliott in this book, and I think it is a credit to Peterfreund how much I wanted to pull Elliott and Kai together so they could just talk about what happened when they were younger and see how much they mean to one another. I know Persuasion doesn't have a sequel - but part of my wishes this story could continue the Cloud Fleet's adventures and see what remains of the world.
