Starlight is set 100 years after Suspended Earth, it is set in the same universe .However it is a independent story so even if you have not read the first book you can enjoy it . This story follows a young girl named Starlight who is orphaned when her mother is killed in a tragic accident .This is a great read .The universe Mortimer creates is beautiful.
I really enjoyed following Starlight and the great friendships she makes .I smiled, cried, and laughed alongside the characters.
I cannot wait to see Starlight's future adventures.
I highly recommend this book.
