She's got guts, she's courageous, and she earned her Artemis medal, the highest accolade ever in the Military. So we know that she's super talented, well-versed, and knowledgable in a lot of things, and I accept that. I don't know about you, folks, but there's a fine line between acceptable and comically absurd when it comes to being 'awesome'. It's like she achieved Saiyan mode in the first book, and she achieved SUPER SAIYAN mode here. damn, everything was just fucking ridiculous, really. If she was portrayed as awesome-in-everything in Earth Girl, it gets worse here. She was illustrated as too-perfect-to-be-true that every time something happened that showed how speshul she was, I'd get this urge to go ape-shit, because. I wanted to really believe in her capabilities, but of course the book just had to make her the most impressive person ever and that we should all bow down and kiss her toes. I wanted to like Jarra, but she annoyed me to no end. Actually, it disappointed me so much that it hurt. Unfortunately, Earth Star didn't impress me.

World-building was pretty good, the romance was boring but it was pretty fulfilling, main character was awesome but perhaps just a bit too awesome, but hey! In the end, I was satisfied, and that's what mattered right? Earth Girl pretty much set up and introduced to us the foundation of the series, so for a sequel, of course I was expecting a bit more plot, a bit more action and suspense, a bit more thrill and enough of the OMG-JARRA-YOU-ARE-RAMBO-PERSONIFIED-IS-THERE-ANYTHING-YOU-CAN'T-DO? It was an astounding book despite a few flaws here and there and I enjoyed it immensely. ◾A best Young Adult book of 2012.įirst, let me say this: I loved Earth Girl. ◾Booklist Editors’ Choice: Books for Youth, 2013. ◾Booklist starred review for being outstanding in its genre. ◾Kirkus starred review for a book of exceptional merit. ◾Voted an American Library Association YALSA Teens' Top Ten title for 2014.
