“This debut has it all: music, books, aliens, adventure, resistance, queerness, and a bold heroine tying it all together.” (Ms. Magazine)
Can a girl who risks her life for books and an Ilori who loves pop music work together to save humanity?
When a rebel librarian meets an Ilori commander....
Two years ago, a misunderstanding between the leaders of Earth and the invading Ilori resulted in the death of one-third of the world’s population. Today, seventeen-year-old Ellie Baker survives in an Ilori-controlled center in New York City. All art, books and creative expression are illegal, but Ellie breaks the rules by keeping a secret library.
When young Ilori commander Morris finds Ellie’s illegal library, he’s duty-bound to deliver her for execution. But Morris isn’t a typical Ilori…and Ellie and her books might be the key to a desperate rebellion of his own.
“The Sound of Stars is a marvelous genre-bending debut." (The Nerd Daily)
“The Sound of Stars is a stunning exploration of the comforts that make us human and the horrors that challenge our humanity.” (K. Ancrum, author of The Wicker King)
"This book has everything! Aliens set on conquering earth! A determined heroine with a hidden stash of books! And the power of music and stories to give those with every reason to hate the power to love. Who could want anything more?" (Joelle Charbonneau, New York Times best-selling author of The Testing and Verify)
“An absolute must-read for everyone.” (Book Riot)
“Dow's debut is a testament to hope and the power of art.” (Buzzfeed)

The story is really good and it's awesome that there's so many pop culture references for those who are really into music and other art. It focuses on the concepts of love, family, and the importance of art and emotion in human lives. It's a really good book, and I'd recommend it for anyone who likes an adventure and music. It's also really diverse the two POV's were different in the way they were written and performed,whicho I've found is rare in a book. Sometimes things didn't make much sense or I felt like things dragged on pretty long and some pieces seemed unnecessary butitd still gets 4 stars from me because it wasn't overbearing and didn't takeaway from my overall enjoyment. It's well written,humorous, and a decently deep read. I'd recommend it.
