Marvellous worldbuilding that takes us from planet to planet, each
of them distinct and fascinating; a well-thoughtout glimpse of our
future and the repercussions of our current lifestyles; a measured,
intelligent depiction of multiple societies and cultures... The
story works beautifully on an emotional level too, and the pacing
is masterful - never do you feel as though anything's being rushed,
yet the story powers along at a rate of knots... usually to
unexpected places.

Intelligent and thoughtful, a highly relevant far-off speculative
adventure.
*Huffington Post*
Blending high stakes adventure with science fiction, romance and a
thrilling plot this is a book that deserves to be huge. Fantastic
storytelling. Wow. Claudia Gray just wow. Perfect for fans of Star
Wars, V. E. Schwab, Becky Chambers and Sarah J. Maas.
*Madwoman in the Attic*
Darker and deeper than your average YA Sci-Fi, Defy the Stars is
thought provoking and addictive!
*The Cosy Reader*
A compelling story, with a satisfying plot, working in a circle
around the planets. Claudia Gray builds a really visceral sense of
both space and Space, two really convincing internally conflicted
characters, and an impressive supporting cast of vagabonds and
vagrants.
