The Darker the Skies by Bryan Prosek {YA Book Review}

December 12, 2022 by Leila | Leave a Comment

The Darker the Skies is the sequel to The Brighter the Stars of the Earth United Series and is another great young adult sci-fi read!

Disclosure: I received this book to review through iRead Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

The Darker the Skies by Bryan Prosek {YA Book Review}

It only takes one to make a difference.

Just days before Jake Saunders plans on proposing to the love of his life, Jake is called upon once again to save his home, Earth. The Earthen Legion troops and its allies think they’re battling only pirates, but a new, more powerful foe from another galaxy flanks their forces and invades, in search of a weapon the planet didn’t even know it had.

​When Jake learns that this new enemy was responsible for the death of his father many years ago, he realizes he can finally face his true nemesis. The odds are stacked against Jake, but with the help of his friends and allies he’s made along the way, he must rally the remaining Legion troops and retake Earth before it’s too late. The fate of Earth and the fate of his love, rest in the balance.

I love that The Darker the Skies more or less picks up where we left off. Grant you, a year has passed since The Brighter the Stars and a few things have changed, but in an overall sense of thing; we pick up with the same characters that we left off with.

In theory, you could read The Darker the Skies without reading The Brighter the Stars first, but I really feel like you would be doing yourself a disservice.

The Brighter the Stars gives you an overall – and pretty complete – background on our main characters, as well as life events that have shaped not only Earth United as it is currently, but the lives and actions of our characters.

I was happy to see all of our main characters from The Brighter the Stars return to The Darker the Skies. We were able to not only learn more about some of their pasts, but also see where they ended up when The Brighter the Stars ended.

I do feel like something may still be coming. I don’t feel a complete resolution or conclusion for the storyline, but I guess only time will tell!

Came home the other day and saw an envelope that s Came home the other day and saw an envelope that said "happy birthday". I got excited that someone sent me an early birthday card...

...except it wasn't for me. It was for Gibbs, our husky... who's birthday is 3 days before mine.

Guess that's what happens when you share your birthday week with the dog. 🤷‍♀️
I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week, but thankfully, hubby saw him yesterday and snapped a pic for me. I swear; Bear gives the cresties a run for their money when it comes to hide and seek!! 🤣
The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was looking for color wise (I was looking for a gray/lavender, and they seem more red), but I am def smitten. 🥰

This baby is a little spazzy at first but then loves to just chill and sit with me. They aren't quite as jumpy as Aspen (and def friendlier! Aspen still HATES being touched!)

Also, I'm not sure they were well cared for. Breeder said hatch date was 9-8-2022, but they are tiny! Not even the length of my pointer finger!

Anyway, welcome, Leif (pronounced Leaf; thank you, Kadenn...) to the zoo!
Releasing tomorrow!! 😍 I cannot wait!! Releasing tomorrow!! 😍

I cannot wait!!
Pics do not do this baby justice!! And Schuyler i Pics do not do this baby justice!!

And Schuyler is so much more chill than Aspen. I've been able to at least touch them daily and last night, they let me hold them!! HUGE difference from Aspen the spaz who wants no one in her space, none the less touching her! 🤣🤣
