Starstrike follows Hwa Young, a 16yo Korean girl whose life is torn apart by a devastating alien strike. Driven by grief and anger, she joins an underground resistance with her best friend Geum. As battles escalate, Hwa must navigate fractured alliances, internal doubts, and the ever-present threat of death. With Earth's fate hanging in the balance, she discovers the strength to lead, but is torn between who she should trust.
I liked this book because it was very fast-paced and captured my attention from the beginning. I was eager to find out what was happening with Hwa Young after reading the first book. Although the book can be very emotional and dark at times, I felt like some students would be able to connect with this. The world seems frighteningly realistic and I enjoyed the character development for the most part. Some of the characters remained flat and I longed to know more about them. Overall this was an exciting read with a lot of action.
