About this listen
A year ago, Flynn Cormac and Jubilee Chase made the now infamous Avon Broadcast, calling on the galaxy to witness for their planet and protect them from destruction. Some say Flynn's a madman; others whisper about conspiracies. Nobody knows the truth.
A year before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were rescued from a terrible shipwreck - now they live a public life in front of the cameras and a secret life away from the world's gaze.
Now, in the center of the universe on the planet of Corinth, all four are about to collide with two new players, who will bring the fight against LaRoux Industries to a head. Gideon Marchant is an 18-year-old computer hacker known in Corinth's underworld as The Knave of Hearts. He'll climb, abseil, and worm his way past the best security measures to pull off onsite hacks that others don't dare touch.
Sofia Quinn has a killer smile, and by the time you're done noticing it, she's got you offering up your wallet, your car, and anything else she desires. She holds LaRoux Industries responsible for the mysterious death of her father and is out for revenge at any cost.
When a LaRoux Industries security breach interrupts Gideon and Sofia's separate attempts to infiltrate their headquarters, they're forced to work together to escape. Both of them have their own reasons for wanting to take down LaRoux Industries, and neither trusts the other. But working together might be the best chance they have to expose the secrets LRI is so desperate to hide.
Read by Kim Mai Guest and MacLeod Andrews, with Cynthia Holloway and Abby Craden.

When Earth intercepts a message from a long-extinct alien race, it seems like the solution humanity has been waiting for. The Undying's advanced technology has the potential to undo environmental damage and turn lives around, and their message leads to the planet Gaia, a treasure trove waiting to be explored. For Jules Addison and his fellow scholars, the discovery of an ancient alien culture offers unprecedented opportunity for study...as long as scavengers like Amelia Radcliffe don't loot everything first.

Arek hadn’t thought much about what would happen after he completed the prophecy that said he was destined to save the Kingdom of Ere from its evil ruler. So now that he’s finally managed to (somewhat clumsily) behead the evil king (turns out magical swords yanked from bogs don’t come pre-sharpened), he and his rag-tag group of quest companions are at a bit of a loss for what to do next. As a temporary safeguard, Arek’s best friend and mage, Matt, convinces him to assume the throne until the true heir can be rescued from her tower. Except that she’s dead.

Stunning Cover, Beautiful Conclusion to the Series
And oh what a beautiful ending it was. I always have mixed emotions when a series comes to an end – will it be a satisfying conclusion? How much will I miss these characters? It’s always a roll of the dice when starting a new trilogy – but when it comes to such a perfect ending like the Starbound Series it’s no wonder I keep coming back for more.
Without giving away any spoilers, this was another story of star-crossed lovers that have an important part in stopping LaRoux Industries from taking over the world. All the previous couples are back and I loved how the author weaved their stories together. I also enjoyed getting a deeper understanding of the Whispers – having an insight into their thoughts just added a layer of complexity that was missing from the first books.
This was a fantastic ending to a beautiful series.

It was alright
My overall feeling across the trilogy has remained the same: not overwhelmingly exciting, but decently enjoyable.
Like in the previous two books, the romance in this one didn't seem all too realistic. In fact, it confused me here the most. In book one, it grew relatively naturally, until it exploded into passion that discarded common sense. In book two, romance was sudden and out of nowhere, but at least the characters acknowledged that fact, and there was a clear sense that stress probably drove them. In book three.. it started from nowhere, it developed from nowhere, and after barely spending time together at all, they spoke as if they'd known each other for years. The constant inner monologues about trust and how they knew each other et cetera became so repetitive. There was no real substance to it, though.
The entire setting of Their Fractured Light seemed harder to buy into, actually. Maybe it's just me, but several times I found the things that happened to be.. sort of unrealistic. The whole scene with LaRoux on screen after the Big Incident, for one. And coming back to romance, it often felt too invasive on the plot. Perhaps I'm growing out of some of the typical YA cornerstones, but if the world is ending and people are dying, the frequent focus shift back to romance at every step started feeling just a little inappropriate at times.
I partially predicted the ending since I started this last book, but even so, it was at least interesting seeing it play out. I liked the voice acting, though. As always, it's odd hearing the previous books' main characters in new voices, but that can't be helped of course. In everything else, I found they did an excellent job.

Exactly the young adult romance I was looking for
The story arc for the trilogy was well tied together. It didn't feel cheesy and was balanced with a good reminder about humanity and our emotions.

Third in series, must read in order
This is the third & final book in this series. It has an intriguing plot but can get confusing.
The first book was my favorite & if you made it through the twists at the end of that then you probably continued on to the second.
Two reasons why these books get progressively confusing/complicated:
1. The first book has 2 main characters, Lilac & Tarver. They are pretty isolated so it's a basic chapter by chapter POV alteration.
The second book barely involves the original 2, focusing on a new pair Flinn & Jubilee. However they are far from alone & there are many flashbacks to when they were children.
By the final book we have a much broader stage, a new couple, more flashbacks that go back to all 6 character's pasts & a lot of conflicting secret schemes.
2. The second reason for confusion is sort of a spoiler & I don't quite know how to explain without giving anything away.
I can say that all 3 books take place in a future that has space travel & colonization on many different planets. All 3 books take place on different planets & as everything is tied together it's not as neat & clean a bow as it could be.
Another round of editing would have helped.
Having said all that, I did enjoy all 3 books, listening to them back to back helped. And despite my confusion at times I genuinely cared about the story.

not as strong as the first ones
Overall I enjoyed this, but it isn't as layered a story as the previous ones. I didn't feel as interested in the characters and felt they weren't consistent. I like Gideon more than Sofia, who I often rolled my eyes at. This could partly be because of the narrator, however, who amped emotion. A good resolution, but my favorite remains the first.

Hockiest ending ever
Mind numbingly stupid ending even for a work of fiction. This was not science fiction but the most saccharin if romances.

It's alright
not bad, not great. the ending stretched a bit...with "action without action". butpasses the time.

A fantastic end to an amazing trilogy of books.
I'm so incredibly sad that that this is the end of what has been an incredible journey. The stories have been so well crafted and the narrators couldn't have done a better job of breathing life into the wonderful personalities that are in such abundance throughout all of the Starbound books from start to finish. I am definitely going to be reading more books from both of these very talented authors.
