Relocating to Arctic Norway would put a freeze on anyone's
social life. For Leda Lindgren, with her crutches and a chip
on her shoulder the size of her former Manhattan home, the
frozen tundra is just as boring as it sounds. Until she
meets her uncle's gorgeous employee. Unfortunately, no
matter how smoking hot the guy is, Roar comes with secrets
as unnerving as his moving tattoos. And Leda doesn't trust
him. Roar shouldn't be drawn to the moody human girl with
eyes that leave him weak in the knees. But when Leda gets
shot by one of his enemies and survives, Roar finally
understands why he's drawn to her: Leda is exactly what he
was sent to Earth to find. A weapon of immense power capable
of saving his planet. She just doesn't know it yet.
I was really drawn to ALL THE STARS LEFT BEHIND because of
the eye-catching cover and a synopsis that sounds
intriguing. What is there not to love about a young adult
sci-fi fantasy. I am a fan of young adult books but I am not
all that sure how I feel about this book overall. The ending
was so predictable that you will see it coming, no surprise.
While Graham has a really vivid imagination that you will
see as you read through this novel. The setting and some of
the scenes are brilliantly described right down to the last
detail. The characters have all be strategically thought out
with backstories that both help and hurt the plot line.
I found ALL THE STARS LEFT BEHIND to be a really good sci-fi
and action-packed novel but I cannot get over the ending.
There might be another book in the works that would explain
the ending a little better. Leda is just lost her father and
her mother has no interest in her. So, she is living with
relatives in Norway that until she moved in with them, she
did not know about. There she meets Roar who works for her
uncle. He has his own secrets to deal with but is
immediately attracted to Leda. She soon finds out who he is
and what he is hiding. Their attraction turns to instant
love. I really would have liked to have seen more
development there and feel it would have helped with the
overall story. This book is really fast paced with non-stop
action. I hope there is a second book that will explain the
ending better. A good read none the less.
