Honest three stars. I liked it, I didn't really like it, and I didn't think it was amazing but I liked it. I was at work the other day, talking to one of my friends about how much I wanted to read Shades of Earth and the next day we received it in shipment. That night, I left it at work only to ponder what answers this third book could possibly hold. Would Amy and Elder finally reach Centauri-Earth, would her Parents and the rest of the Frozen's colonize their second home, or would they all perish? I got the answers I was so desperately seeking yet, they weren't the answers I was hoping for. 
 I may update this review with spoilers after it's official hard sell date, but I may not. If you feel like discussing Shades of Earth, please, send me a message, hit me up on facebook or twitter, or send me an email.
