Publisher’s Synopsis:
“Seventeen-year-old Ezren Hart interns in her mother’s terraforming lab, studying Belethea’s deadly storms with the dream of giving her backwater planet open teal skies. But when budget cuts threaten to shut down her mother’s lab, Ezren enters Belethea’s Race Royale, the system’s deadliest and most lucrative race. To win, she’ll have to run, drive, and fight her way across Belethea’s barren landscape while navigating its savage and volatile storms. With her planet’s future, and her family’s, on the line, she can’t afford to lose. But first, she’ll have to convince her handsome royale partner that their planet is worth saving.
Foster Sterling is a jaded ex-prodigy royaler still reeling from his partner’s death in a training accident. When Ezren Hart comes charging into his life, her passion reminds him of what he once loved about racing and his dream of returning pride to their planet. Still, no matter how fast they go, they can’t outrun the mysterious string of deadly accidents following them like a curse. As Foster falls harder for Ezren, he races to piece the clues together. But with time running out and their survival on the line, he’ll have to decide if their dreams are worth their lives.”
My Review:
Once again, Hayley Reese Chow proved herself to be made for this! I read her previous fantasy book and thought the writing was brilliant, and it continues to be so.
I absolutely loved this book!
It was such a fun read. The racing and action-packed plot was fast and exciting.
The characters were so lovable, especially the found-family aspects.
The world-building was immersive.
I adored Sterling/Hart!
It was just everything I could have wanted from a story like this. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
Absolutely deserves all the stars – highly recommend!
