I think Amie Kaufman is slowly becoming one of my favorite writers. From Illuminae and Gemina to These Broken Stars, she (and Meagan Spooner) do a stellar job of creating characters and a story that follows teenagers in futuristic space settings. I loved the world building in this as well as the creepy element. I typically binge read books at night and while I don't think the goal was to scare readers, this definitely made me feel a sense of fear and anxiety with the whispers that our characters in this book experienced. I really hope this isn't the last readers will see of Tarver and Lilac and I'm definitely excited to read about two new main characters in book 2&3!
