Description

At seventeen, Sarah hit the jackpot.

Not the kind with money. The kind where a quiet walk home ends in a wall of white light, and nothing after that belongs to Earth.

Taken to a barren alien world, Sarah is processed with other abducted humans and forced into a brutal system built to break them, train them, and make them useful. They are not prisoners, exactly. Prisoners have sentences. Prisoners have rights. Prisoners, someday, might go home.

Sarah and the others are being trained for something worse.

She has no plan, no power, and no way back. Her only anchors are the people trapped beside her: Mia, who refuses to surrender hope; Eric, whose bitter realism is the only thing keeping them alive; and Hestia, a silent girl who clings to Sarah as if Sarah can somehow promise them both a way home.

Together, they survive the impossible long enough to find something more dangerous than despair: hope.

Hidden rebels. A plan. A way off the planet.

For the first time since her abduction, Sarah dares to believe they might escape. But freedom has a price, and the sky above them is only the beginning.

We Who Survived the Sky is Book One of Astra, a sweeping space-fantasy saga of alien captivity, found family, betrayal, rebellion, royal intrigue, war, and the long road from stolen girl to the woman who will make the stars remember her name

At seventeen, Sarah hit the jackpot.

Not the kind with money. The kind where a quiet walk home ends in a wall of white light, and nothing after that belongs to Earth.

I enjoyed reading this book, it is an interesting take on a story trope that I have not read as much about in the past. The characters were realistic and endearing, including the main character. The POV does clearly read as a teenager's voice which took a little getting used to, however it is a book from the perspective of a 17 year old.

The worldbuilding was interesting, we really have no idea what is happening (along with the characters), and it slowly (but not completely) unfolds as the book goes on. I (like the main characters) want to know more about the world and what is happening in space, and will be reading the sequel. 3.75

Thank you NetGalley, Amelia S. Ashcroft, and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for this E-ARC.
