Dying planets, dangerous conspiracies, and secret romance abound in the second installment of the Devoured Worlds trilogy by award-winning author Megan E. O'Keefe.

Naira and Tarquin have escaped vicious counter-revolutionaries, misprinted monsters, and the pull of a dying planet. Now, bound together to find the truth behind the blight that has been killing habitable planets, they need to hunt out the Mercator family secrets. But, when the head of Mercator disappears, taking the universe’s remaining supply of starship fuel with him, chaos breaks loose between the ruling families. Naira’s revolution must be put aside for the sake of humanity’s immediate survival.

The second in the series did not disappoint but jeez so many emotions. I am in awe of the author for creating this series. So many storylines going on and amazing characters. The dynamics of Tarquin and Sharp makes me root for them over and over. Two different worlds but drawn by love. Sharp, strong and vulnerable and Tarquin, shy and vulnerable. They really are so alike. I love their romance and hope it goes strong into book three. I loved Kav and Kuma being brought in and the relationship of the three and then how they all accepted the Mercada. I absolutely despised Fletcher and hated his obsession with Sharp and his jealousy of Tarquin. I am sure my blood pressure was high when he was in the picture.
I am so happy that I listened to this book because it was so complex and I think it was easier for me to obtain what was going on than if I was to read it.
What will the future hold for Sharp and Tarquin on the 7th Cradle? Happiness, hopefully, and their home.

Holy Hell. Action pact storyline.

Loved it. Really good. Did get tired of the same villain returning but all in all enjoyed it. Can’t wait to hear 3rd installment.

Second book ❤️❤️

First the narration: Narration is great. Well read, and enjoyable to listen to
Second the story: Story is good, but long winded. Some scenes are dragged on and on and get boring. I found myself fast forwarding through some parts. The villain is also way over the top, and keeps coming back, repeating the same villainies over and over again...gets boring real fast...
so, will I listen to the third book? yes
Do I recommend this one? Ehh!

it's ok!!

This was a bit more romance-forward than the first in the series. But the action kept pace.

Awesome

First of all, I have to call out the narrator. He has to be one of the best I’ve ever heard. For a book with such a large cast of characters, the performance literally helped me keep track of who was who.

O’Keefe’s prose continues to be lovely, descriptive, and easy to follow. The plot doesn’t slow.

I didn’t love this as much as I loved The Blighted Stars, but this still is one of my top books I’ve read.

Great continuation of the story, narrator continues to crush

I feel like this book would’ve been better fleshed out in two books. There was so much I feel was skimmed over in the descriptions and explanations.

Too much packed in this book

This is the second book of three and I can’t get enough. All the plot twists and smart creativity is absolutely enthralling. The reading artist does an amazing job. Bravo to both the author and the performer!

Keeps you constantly engaged!
