Alien meets Alexandra Bracken’s The Darkest Minds in this thrilling debut novel about prison-guard-in-training, Kenzie, who is taken hostage by the superpowered criminal teens of the Sanctuary space station—only to have to band together with them when the station is attacked by mysterious creatures.

Kenzie holds one truth above all: the company is everything.

As a citizen of Omnistellar Concepts, the most powerful corporation in the solar system, Kenzie has trained her entire life for one goal: to become an elite guard on Sanctuary, Omnistellar’s space prison for superpowered teens too dangerous for Earth. As a junior guard, she’s excited to prove herself to her company—and that means sacrificing anything that won’t propel her forward.

But then a routine drill goes sideways and Kenzie is taken hostage by rioting prisoners.

At first, she’s confident her commanding officer—who also happens to be her mother—will stop at nothing to secure her freedom. Yet it soon becomes clear that her mother is more concerned with sticking to Omnistellar protocol than she is with getting Kenzie out safely.

As Kenzie forms her own plan to escape, she doesn’t realize there’s a more sinister threat looming, something ancient and evil that has clawed its way into Sanctuary from the vacuum of space. And Kenzie might have to team up with her captors to survive—all while beginning to suspect there’s a darker side to the Omnistellar she knows.

CAIA SETE VEZES, LEVANTE-SE OITO.

O primeiro livro dessa trilogia abriu com chave de ouro. Claro que tem coisas que me incomodaram, como: o insta love da Kenzie e Cage. Acho que podia ter sido um pouco mais gradual, mas beleza, eu sou apressada então ainda sim gostei disso. Apesar de os plots serem bem previsíveis (acertei uns 4, levei spoiler de um e só chorei com o último 🤧) o livro é bom, desenvolve rápido e cria um "novo" conceito de vida no espaço e seres alienígenas. Eu também gostei muito dos personagens, eles criaram um grupo muito interessante. Tem um sociedade distópica aqui que mostra o privilégio de quem é cidadão da Omnistellar e a vida horrível que o resto (incluindo as anomalias) levam. Eu amo livro que tem essa temática de passar no espaço, acho que por isso me apeguei de cara a essa história. Tem coisas meio confusas e que ficaram mal explicadas (tenho teorias sobre algumas delas...) que, espero, serão resolvidas nós próximos livros.
