When Princess Cassia Rose fled her home world of Eturia to escape an arranged marriage, she had no idea her sudden departure would spark a war. Now after two years hiding as a ship hand, she is finally returning to her beloved home but not in the way she imagined. Shackled by bounty hunters, she is violently dragged back to account for her crimes. Her only solace is that the Banshee crew managed to evade capture, including Kane Arric, her best friend...with occasional benefits.

Meanwhile, Kane and the rest of the crew of the Banshee plan a desperate rescue mission. But when they arrive on Eturia, Cassia isn't exactly in need of heroics -- she's claimed her birthright as Eturia's queen, but has inherited a war-torn planet simmering with rebellion. Cassia must make alliances, and Kane, the bastard son of a merchant, isn't a choice that will earn her any friends. Kane knows he will never find someone to replace Cassia -- and is certain she returns his feelings -- but how can he throw away his own promising future waiting on a queen?

When the outer realm is threatened by the dangerous Zhang mafia, Cassia, Kane and the rest of the Banshee crew uncover a horrifying conspiracy that endangers the entire universe. In the face of unspeakable evil, Cassia must confront her own family's complicated legacy on Eturia and decide once and for all who her real family is.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 8 Up—In Starflight, Princess Cassia Rose fled from her planet to save those she loved, or so she thought. After two years of living in hiding, things now come to a head when she is finally captured by the ruthless bounty hunters who have been stalking her and best friend Kane. Cassie must quickly decide what type of monarch she will be when she returns home to a planet ravaged by war and misguidance. Cassie and Kane have decisions to make, and they must trust in each other or let it all go. This title will draw in sci-fi romance lovers of the previous volume, but teens don't have to have read it to enjoy the followup. The galactic journey from the first book is referenced, but all of the plotlines from Starflight are explained when needed. It is an interesting switch to hear the narrative voices of two secondary characters from the first volume now having primary roles. The strong message of finding a love of equals shines throughout. Landers sets an intergalactic stage that fans of sci-fi, romance, and adventure will devour. Readers who enjoyed Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff will be drawn to this title. VERDICT A great addition to YA sci-fi collections.—Elizabeth Pelayo, St. Charles East High School, IL

Review

PRAISE FOR INVADED

"Filled with intrigue and suspense, this book will appeal to both sci-fi and contemporary YA fiction fans."--VOYA

PRAISE FOR STARFLIGHT

"Smart, action-packed, and utterly addictive!"--New York Times best-selling author Amie Kaufman

PRAISE FOR STARFLIGHT

"Teens will be bracing themselves during the swashbuckling space pirate action scenes... A great choice for fans of raw sci-fi action, reminiscent of the lawlessness presented in the television series Firefly." --School Library Journal

PRAISE FOR STARFLIGHT

"This is a lively tale of romance, space pirates, conspiracy, and made (as opposed to genetic) families. Over the course of the book, all the characters round out nicely, as does the romance... Landers has a firm hand on the plot, which includes a rousing fight scene or two, as well as a nifty twist at the end."--Booklist

(young) Adult love in space ends!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2017

when i bought starflight a year ago, i found it on io9's "books to read in march". i was amazed at it, but then duped when i found out it was a young adult novel. when i got over that, it was an amazing romp through space and a young heroine who could stand her own. when you got midway through the tome, you realized she was writing the book as a bridge to something bigger.

well, bigger unfortunately came to an early end. Due to sagging sales of starflight (seriously, why did you not buy this book?!), starfall is the end of a planned trilogy.

solara takes the backseat for this novel. yes, folks, it is all about cassia and her beau/fwb this time, and that is where i think folks were angry. see, Landers in my opinion, wanted the books to focus on 6 characters, but 2 in each book. i think that is where folks got angry and tons of negative backlash came from this. also, when i read the reviews, i think people do not understand that she got news that the starflight trilogy would be a duology. she had to go through and scrap parts to lead to book three and wrap everything up. she did a great job in it, but like all books which are serialised, you want more. unfortunately, we will not, but both books are great standalone titles, or great as a set. either way, i loved the characters, and hate to see them go.

It was fun spending more time with the fun characters in this series. The main characters in this book are only side characters in the first book and it was fun to get to know them better. Their relationship was pretty messed up in the first book and isn't much better in this one. They both need to do a lot of growing and a lot of soul searching before things come together in the end. It was funny because I had a dream that helped me figure out a major plot line in this book and then it turned out to be true. It was a great read.

A great followup - I'm ready for the next adventure!

Starfall was excellent! I really enjoyed learning more about the characters from the first book, "Starflight," and it was refreshing to have the story take place from Cassia and Kane's perspectives. This adventure went to places I didn't expect - I was definitely surprised at the twists and turns, starting at about a third of the way into the book. Save yourself the stress - if you have read "Starlight," dive into "Starfall!" If for some reason, you haven't read either book, get on it!

Melissa Landers, I'm ready for #3!

Literally could not put this down and I read it in one day.

Okay, so I'll be honest: I've been looking forward to this book since I knew of its existence, way back in March of last year.

It's literally almost everything I wanted in a novel, especially a sequel, and I'm so happy with it!

There were a few little things that made it not completely perfect, but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. What a great book.
