There Are No Stars Here

This book is seriously intense. A creepy group called Shamut, led by this dude Worthington, pretty much runs the show, and freedom looks like a distant dream. I was holding my breath, just trying to figure out how anyone could even survive. Thompson is a wizard when it comes to building this messed-up world. That "Haze" isn't just some background noise; it's practically a character itself, making life miserable and forcing everyone into tiny, controlled boxes. The book just makes you wonder, how did things get this bad? and it keeps you hooked, waiting to find out all the juicy, terrible details. Solanis is a total Rockstar, fighting tooth and nail to protect her people, even when her own mind's playing tricks on her. I loved Solanis's character and got a bit emotional about Manuels tough start and getting thrown into this craziness as a kid. The way everyone interacts, all the loyalty and backstabbing, was just awesome. Honestly, this story is going to stick with you. Thompson's writing is great; the characters are so well-done. Plus, the book's super smooth; no annoying typos or anything to pull you out of the story. I recommend it to audiences who love dark, dystopian stories and give it a rating of five stars, no question!
