Stars and Smoke

Stars and Smoke by Marie Lu Genre: Thriller; Contemporary Reviewed by Julia W., 10th Grade Rating: 9/10 Stars and Smoke by Marie Lu follows Sydney Cossette, a spy for a covert operations company called Panacea Group. Her job is to deal with anything the CIA isn’t able to due to their government restrictions. When Niall O’Sullivan and Sauda Nazari, Sydney‘s bosses, inform her that they want to ask a pop star for help, she isn’t super keen on the idea.

This book takes a post-apocalyptic tone, and asks the perplexing question: What if the Earth was much older than we thought? The prologue opens by briefing the reader that the Earth had become an unstable planet, and had forced its inhabitants onto hastily made spacecrafts, in an attempt to leave Earth and find a safer, habitable home. Unfortunately, a new planet wasn’t found, and people were forced to survive on these ships. Chan’s home, The Australia , has become a hostile environment. Factions were made and groups fight for control over the ship. The story follows Chan: a seventeen year-old girl whose mother recently passed away. Chan is a res
