The Star Shards Chronicles #3
Shattered Sky
It began innocently six children conceived at the exact moment that the star Mentaras-H went supernova.
The explosion transformed their souls into living star fragments. It also conferred upon each of them a unique but mysterious power -a power that until they learned its secret masqueraded as a warping disfigurement. For some, it was physical. For others, it was emotional. But for ALL six it meant one their lives would never be the same.
In time they unlocked the secret of their power. Their gifts brought them incredible riches and attention. Once despised for their deformities, they would come to be worshiped-and feared-as gods. But with unlimited power would come the temptation to abuse it and-in a desperate struggle for supremacy-the risk of turning against one another like hungry wolves.
But only now will the true cost of their gifts be revealed.
A new and terrifying force has been loosed in the universe. It infects an alien planet like a rampaging virus. When the inhabitants of the doomed planet are forced to flee, they must conquer and colonize a new planet.
Their Earth.
Only one power exists that could conceivably prevent the extermination of the human the Star Shards. But only if the six put aside their titanic egos and join forces.
Welcome to Judgment Day.

About the author
Neal Shusterman
90 books30k followersAward-winning author Neal Shusterman grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where he began writing at an early age. After spending his junior and senior years of high school at the American School of Mexico City, Neal went on to UC Irvine, where he made his mark on the UCI swim team, and wrote a successful humor column. Within a year of graduating, he had his first book deal, and was hired to write a movie script.
In the years since, Neal has made his mark as a successful novelist, screenwriter, and television writer. As a full-time writer, he claims to be his own hardest task-master, always at work creating new stories to tell. His books have received many awards from organizations such as the International Reading Association, and the American Library Association, as well as garnering a myriad of state and local awards across the country. Neal's talents range from film directing (two short films he directed won him the coveted CINE Golden Eagle Awards) to writing music and stage plays – including book and lyrical contributions to “American Twistory,” which is currently playing in Boston. He has even tried his hand at creating Games, having developed three successful "How to Host a Mystery" game for teens, as well as seven "How to Host a Murder" games.
As a screen and TV writer, Neal has written for the "Goosebumps" and “Animorphs” TV series, and wrote the Disney Channel Original Movie “Pixel Perfect”. Currently Neal is adapting his novel Everlost as a feature film for Universal Studios.
Wherever Neal goes, he quickly earns a reputation as a storyteller and dynamic speaker. Much of his fiction is traceable back to stories he tells to large audiences of children and teenagers -- such as his novel The Eyes of Kid Midas. As a speaker, Neal is in constant demand at schools and conferences. Degrees in both psychology and drama give Neal a unique approach to writing. Neal's novels always deal with topics that appeal to adults as well as teens, weaving true-to-life characters into sensitive and riveting issues, and binding it all together with a unique and entertaining sense of humor.
Of Everlost, School Library Journal wrote: “Shusterman has reimagined what happens after death and questions power and the meaning of charity. While all this is going on, he has also managed to write a rip-roaring adventure…”
Of What Daddy Did, Voice of Youth Advocates wrote; "This is a compelling, spell-binding story... A stunning novel, impossible to put down once begun.
Of The Schwa Was Here, School Library Journal wrote: “Shusterman's characters–reminiscent of those crafted by E. L. Konigsburg and Jerry Spinelli–are infused with the kind of controlled, precocious improbability that magically vivifies the finest children's classics.
Of Scorpion Shards, Publisher's Weekly wrote: "Shusterman takes an outlandish comic-book concept, and, through the sheer audacity and breadth of his imagination makes it stunningly believable. A spellbinder."
And of The Eyes of Kid Midas, The Midwest Book Review wrote "This wins our vote as one of the best young-adult titles of the year" and was called "Inspired and hypnotically readable" by School Library Journal.
Neal Shusterman lives in Southern California with his children Brendan, Jarrod, Joelle, and Erin, who are a constant source of inspiration!

Oh boy! I have a lot of thoughts. It took me a while to finish this book, and I enjoyed reading it, you are probably confused by the rating then, but it turns out there are some things I just can't get past.
February 28, 2017
Ive read a lot of Neal Shusterman's books, mostly his trilogies and unwind series. Out of all of his books, this one was by far the most disappointing. I say that with a heavy heart because Shusterman is one of my favorite authors.
The first thing wrong with Shattered Sky was how it makes the reader feel: extremely impatient. In my opinion, no book should make the reader feel that way. It shouldn't feel like it is dragging on endlessly.
This book reminded me of another series where the author even stated herself that she was rushed into writing and finishing the series with the ending to her trilogy. I feel like the same thing happened here. The last book was rushed, stretched out beyond needing to be and in doing so it fell short of the first two in the Star Shards Chronicles.
You can feel it in the way of how confusing and pointless a good number of the passages come off as. I found myself skimming over so much. And I've never done that with any other Neal Shusterman book. There were so many times in the book where they had a bunch of meaningless conversations that seemed to go nowhere and just sprouted more unnecessary character development on characters that didn't need it. Or conversations that went in so many directions you couldn't possibly keep up unless you reread it once or twice.
I will admit, I love the depth pf knowledge and endless possibilities in the universe Shusterman created in this series. The Shards and their deep connections and growth is astounding.
But. Major but. It had it's limits. The extent to which Lourdes fell from grace for one. The rollercoaster Dillon rode throughout this book made sense but it was aggravating as well. And then there's Deanna. Sweet, fearless, faithful and loyal Deanna. She deserved a better ending than being merged with a character that fell into the background and became almost as despicable as Tessic's Holocaust victim resurrection plan. Her body became Deanna's souls host. The very thing many characters despised or just viewed as wrong. Deanna and Maddy merge and it makes the ending fall short even more. Maddy isn't Maddy anymore but she's not Deanna either. How can anyone be satisfied with that?
So anyway, those are my thoughts in the last book of the Star Shards Chronicles. It really doesn't deserve more than one star. Because I know Neal Shusterman could've done so much better because of his works that followed this one. It's sad to see how one of his first trilogies ended.

La historia me encantó, aunque lo mucho que se aferró cierto personaje a su punto negativo, me pareció excesivo. Que un personaje capaz de lo que ella hizo, se salga prácticamente de rositas y que el personaje más noble de todos, tuviera un final tan flojo (después de hacernos esperar tres libros por su vuelta) y hasta indigno, no hay derecho.
Todo lo de las víctimas del Holocausto resucitadas se me hizo muy largo y algo impostado, creo que reducirlo drácticamente, o mejor arrancarlo de raíz, hubiera mejorado muchísimo el libro. Toda esa trama alargó mucho el libro y apenas aportó nada. Se ve como postizo.
Momentazo lo que les pasaba cuando se unían😍 y su comparación con los glóbulos blancos tan atinada. Genial.
Por lo demás el libro fue espectacular sobre todo su final (que bien hubiera podido dar lugar a toda una franquicia, si Shusterman hubiera querido). GL (Neal Shusterman)

Damn. I'm really mad at lordes ok. She was my fave till she went all crazy solo.

And....Book 3 goes a bit off the rails. This book was ENTIRELY too long and went on several tangents that were completely unnecessary. The character assassination of Lourdes continues. Everyone is CRAZY overpowered. The characters literally seem to just wander through things until their needed at the climax. Granted, the other two books have had some character wanderings, but I was at least interested in those. I was so checked out so many times. It felt like a bit of a slog to get through this one, and the ending didn't really blow me away. (I don't like some of the implications of the end, actually.)
Not to mention, this book has the worst resolution to a "love triangle" since Twilight. (Granted, this was written before Twilight, but I'm reading it after.)

Now I remember why this has always been one of my favorite trilogies. I had a general idea, but I had forgotten most of the content of the stories, to the point where I was genuinely able to re-read the series and not know every single thing that was going to happen before it did. I truly like what Shusterman does in this series, playing with the idea of superhuman powers in a way that shows how those powers can be a burden as much as a blessing, and how with great power comes great responsibility.
I very much enjoy Shusterman’s conception of the role of each of the shards and how they are incomplete without one another in fundamental ways. I also enjoy how the ending is brought about, and some of the musings that Shusterman hints at as a look into what human evolution might look like. This is an excellent trilogy, and I’m very very happy to have re-read it as an adult. I highly recommend this trilogy to anyone who will pick it up.
The characters are so realistically human, and Shusterman does not shy away from the ugly or the painful to think about, even to the end of the story and even when talking about our protagonists. He does not shy away from morally ambiguous issues, and really makes the reader think in perspectives that are unique to what we are used to.

I enjoyed this book so much, I didn't want it to end. For me, there are moments when I look to my bookshelves, glance at the spines, and brilliant moments of literature come flooding back to me. This story definitely has those moments. I feel that the author discusses the themes of life, death, religion, humanity, and fate, while not being heavy-handed. When I was looking for a new series to read, I was caught by the ideas that a star could have a soul, that soul could shatter, and be reborn inside of people.

Finally, finished with this trilogy.. Neal Shusterman really did a great job in my opinion in wrapping up the series. There are times when it's hard to go through because this book is 500+ pages and the story is too complex at some point to understand. This book needs a map, just sayin' because there were times that I'm quite confused on where part in the world the characters are in the moment of the story. hahaha
It was a good ending nonetheless. Can't wait to pick up more books from him. He really is a great story teller.

Overall a very interesting concept for the trilogy, but I felt that the theme was severely underexplored. Instead, the books - especially the last one - dragged on in circles about side stories that were rather unnecessary. I would have really liked to see the possibilities of the powers explored further and deeper, instead of having the main characters constantly denying their existences and getting distracted by inconsequential people who wouldn't be a problem at all had the full extent of the powers been properly discussed and utilised. And also It felt pretty clear to me that the author didn’t know what to do with Deanna and Lourdes so he conveniently disposed of both of them by killing off Deanna for like the whole series and making Lourdes a weirdo who apparently decided to just run off and turn evil with no explanation. Very poor development of the characters and integration into the plot, definitely could have been done better. So all in all, it was abit like being given a porsche but only using it as decoration. Also it didn't help that the main character was spineless and characterless for almost the whole series. A happy ending but did not like the means for getting there.

I'll give this series a 4.5, really interesting concept and definitely a good read
October 30, 2013
Characters:4. Being the third book in a series it was not necessary for the author to go into great depth about the characters that had already been introduced however those that had not yet been introduced were well explained. The quote on page 10 explaining one of the main characters named Elon Tessic illustrates Shusterman's knack for explaining characters, "In these out-of-the-way places, Tessic often found himself the center of suspicious attention. It wasn't only his clothes, but the prominent way he held himself, and his Israeli accent, so rich and exotic to the ears of the American heartland. As he had no talent for being inconspicuous, he rarely tried. Still it was nice to go unnoticed from time to time" (Shusterman). Although this description may seem small and unimportant it actually explains a lot about Tessic without saying it outright. This quote illustrates Tessic's pride, the fact that he is from Israel (which happens to be important later in the story), and Tessic's lack of concern in other's wishes without saying that to the reader. The use of this technique by the author actually made the characters all the more likable because it kept the reader constantly trying to figure out why a specific character would act a certain way. This technique also made the reader feel more involved with the characters and more connected to them on a personal level. The characters are very believable except for the fact that they have superhuman abilities. The only character that is a little unbelievable is Drew. Drew was spurned by his best friend Michael, then Michael accidentally kills Drew, Dillon brings him back to life, and then Michael completely changes Drew's personality using his powers. Then when Michael is killed Drew actually saves his body so that Dillon might be able to bring him back to life, "It had to be protected, so Drew dug out enough of the coffin to free the hinges, and took a good long moment to prepare himself. 'Man, Michael-the things I do for you...' Then he closed his eyes and heaved open the lid"(Shusterman 106). The situation illustrates the near perfection of the character Drew. Even after Michael ruins (and ends) Drew's life Drew still decides to save Michael's body. Drew was also like this in the second book and throughout the rest of the third book which illustrates that the characters in this book do indeed stay true to themselves.
Setting:3. The setting in this book is not only hard to place but ever changing. The time is easy to figure out because the story occurs now, the actual place in which the story occurs is a lot harder to pin down. The different settings are important to the story, for example, Lourdes spends a lot of time on the boat that she takes over, "Maybe it was best after all for her to be the queen of her own little ship, her dominion limited to the souls on board, slaves and followers who were resigned to subjugating their will to hers. Let her have her ship, so that she might be satisfied, and extend her grasp no further"(Shusterman 59). This specific example affects the story because Lourdes is completely removed from the other star shards and isolated.Time is difficult in this story because for some characters it has been a year while with others it seemed as if they had just been asleep for a few hours because they had been brought back from the dead, "The last half a mile he had tumbled alone. Brief pain. A blackout. And now this. It seemed many hours had passed since his last memory"(Shusterman 303). This quote illustrates that time is pretty relative in this story and really depends on the character and what they went through. This story could have occurred in any other place or time because in the second book that is exactly what happens and with the constantly changing setting it could obviously occur in any other place. This actually makes the story less enjoyable because it seems as if the story could have occurred to anyone, in any place at anytime which is extremely uninspiring and actually quite dull.
Plot:4. Basically Dillon meets a girl who he falls in love with named Madi whose body is later taken over by Deanna. The star shards all work together to defeat these three beings called vectors who are trying to destroy the world and all the people inside of it. The story was told in the regular order however while one character is going through a specific experience at the same time another character is going through a completely different experience. So for example while "[Winston]...moves south, following the solitary lead that might take him to Lourdes" (Shusterman 48) Dillon is "[Locked in]...an Iron Maiden. Heavy steel bars acme across his arms and legs"(Shusterman 36).The ending was most definitely surprising because they all return to life as if they are completely normal, "Both were facing the ridiculous prospect of going back to high school-which might as well have been preschool, considering what they had lived, died, and relived through" (Shusterman 525-526). After going through such fantastic adventures it was strange for the story to end so mundanely.
Theme:5. The author's overall theme is to have faith and those that do have faith will be rewarded. The story is really about trusting not only whatever God, with a capital G, or gods that you believe in but also to believe in yourself. There are honestly hundreds of great quotes for this but one of the best is definitely Dillon explaining about the praying pigeons, "'Pigeons pray. Did you know that Madi?' 'I never noticed.' 'They did a study. Take a pigeon, put it in a cage, then feed it at random intervals regardless of its behavior, and pretty soon it starts to do some weird things-like hopping on one leg, or spinning in circles, or bowing its head over and over, as if that's what brings on the food. "Religious behavior" they call it' 'The prayer of pigeons.' 'Exactly' 'What makes you think their prayers aren't answered'"(Shusterman 62). This quote is not only talking about pigeons but also Dillon himself and how his faith gets slowly stronger.
Personal Response: I would definitely recommend this book to someone because it has a wonderful moral and great characters. Shusterman is wonderful at making his characters come to life. I really love this book because it is packed with adventure but still holds that philosophical edge that makes a reader think even after the book is long over. The book may be long but it definitely will hold the readers attention throughout its entirety.

It has been a year since the Hover Dam incident. Tory and Michael were never found. Winston has gone home. Lord has disappeared. And Dilan? He turned himself into the military and is currently in a locked cell that completely confines his power.
This final book took some turns that I didn’t see coming at all. In fact I really don’t think I even guessed at even one.
I like how Shusterman looks deeply at the ethical impacts of desicions that we make and also the ethical impacts of power.
One of the questions he posses in this book is: Is it moral the change a serious crime if you have the power to do so? How will it affect the power that event had on the course of history? How could the world change by just that one choice?
Very interesting. I enjoyed the ending even if it did feel a bit rushed right there at the very end.
The characters growth for almost all of the characters was fantastic.
This is another if those books that would be so amazing discuss and talk about the ethics of the decisions the main characters make.
PG- Kissing. Implied sex. Descriptive violence.

This was one of Shusterman's earlier series and the writing definitely shows his lack of experience. However, I'm giving the whole series 4 stars because the insanity of the plot makes it very fun to read. This particular entry is 3 stars because of often frustrating choices made in regards to character romance. It's not even like something I was shipping didn't happen, but all the relationship drama doesn't go anywhere and just serves as a diversion to the rest of the plot.
(Finale spoilers from this point out)
I really wish more people had read this. I desparately want someone to talk to about how the climax of this book is magic teenagers using their magic powers to UNDO THE HOLOCAUST. It's been over 10 years since I read this book and I still can't stop thinking about it. The series is worth checking out for that alone.

This series is one of the books I keep in physical version as well ( I only allow myself one book shelf to keep myself from being a hoarder). I love how many parallels you could derive from classic coming of age troubles and their abilities and how they handled facing their demons. Also learning that there are more shades of gray instead of clear lines of good/evil; white/black. It wasn’t a complete happy feel good ending for each of the main characters but again that’s how life works i think this trilogy is one of the most underrated trilogies I’ve ever read. The middle part of the story is usually my favorite in trilogies but this is definitely comes in a close second.

This series was so good! I realize now that it was written in the late 90’s early 00’s which I didn’t realize going in so I now realize it is one of his first series. It was so good. Definitely got a little over ambitious toward the end and pulled me out from the main story, and also felt like the subtext and deeper meaning that was being built in the first two books was kind of abandoned in this one. It was still really good just was a little disappointed with the ending. I feel like it could have been way more than a trilogy.

A year has passed since the Backwash at Hoover Dam, and the world is still reeling and off-balance. The surviving Star Shards have separated, going their own ways to try to hide from the world. Some try to make amends, some try to hide, some decide to take full advantage of their power. Little do they know that the consequences of their previous indulgences and decisive action have even further-reaching ramifications than their own world. If they hope to stand a chance at stopping the coming shattering, they will have to come together, dead or alive, and figure out just what they are supposed to do with their powers.
While I didn't quite manage to finish this before 2022 ended, it was close - over 500 pages is nothing to shake a stick at, and I was a good 80% done by New Year's Eve. Especially considering the rather step by step approach the story took. Not even the Shards knew what was coming: the bulk of the story was focused around them piecing themselves, each other, and what they were meant to do together. The results of the final confrontation really do set up nicely for this series to be revisited, and I hope Shusterman will be able to do so because I'd really like to see what will come of everything.
Unfortunately, I got the very end spoiled for me, so my expectations of how the story would unfold were very off the mark. Translation: as clueless as the Star Shards were about what exactly they were supposed to do, so too was I rather too focused on what I knew of the end and trying to figure out how we would get there. When really, I should have just went along with the Shards and put together the puzzle pieces in front of my face (case in point: Elon Tessic's calling/goal). I think it also threw me because somehow there was a disconnect between how the first book made me feel, then the second, then we have this one. Somehow even the Shards and their motivations felt...a bit detached to me, and I'm not sure why. Maybe part of it rests on Dillon and Winston, and having to balance these two very knowledgeable and insightful people being so much ahead of human ability with the realities of a very human author crafting and writing their story. Their abilities were very easy to trust in, but somehow, I guess I thought they'd be...a little more revelatory with their knowledge? I'd feel more oomph from their deductions and revelations?
Or, maybe it was that my childhood memories of Scorpion Shards and the feelings it left with me, even through this re-read, still too greatly colored my emotional connection, experience, and expectations for how the rest of the series would go, and I never quite found the right groove to be in for it. I didn’t let it stop me and kept reading, which isn’t always a good thing. Or it could be that I was caught off-guard by some of the darker themes in this book (because of my residual emotions?), and so I never felt things quite land where they needed to. At any rate, it’s clear to me that something didn’t quite line up for me, and it’s hard to pin down exactly what it was. Ultimately, though, I just don’t think I was quite in the mood for this book, and it deserves a better review from me at some future date. Whenever it filters its way back to my immediate TBR pile. (Psst. Mr. Shusterman. When you publish more stories in this universe, that will prompt me to pick these up again sooner rather than later!)
Favorite quotes:
She would take Dillon to the laundry room, and turn off the light, then pull the sheets from the dryer.

Before boarding, Drew took out his cell phone and made the dreaded call home. - page 197 - this is the updated edition/text, so I wonder if in the original, it was actually that he went to a pay phone on the wall. Especially since later, Dillon goes to a store to use their phone or a pay phone.

Great conclusion to a magnificent series that makes us question the power of the human will. He is an amazing author with an imagination that can't be beat. His power to build complex worlds that represent so much on so many levels baffles me. I'm only saddened by the fact that the young adult genre tag will keep these books from the eyes of so many readers

A mediocre story from one of my favourite authors so it was a disappointment. In the authors Defense though this series was written 20 years ago so his stories have gotten much better in the intervening years. The story dragged and I found my attention wandering while reading the series, I only forced myself to finish the series because the author is one my favourites.
September 5, 2025
Only read/reading because I’m a completionist, but the whole relationship between a 20 something and a 17 year old was weird as hell and so unnecessary. Boooo. Also a whole heaping of Zionism, microaggressions out of nowhere and literally calling characters slurs???? Again, this was very much not needed and just such a weird thing to include. I liked the concept of this universe, the interaction of characters, the development of the world. It was a good way to wrap up the series, but I can’t get over how needlessly the writing emphasizes hostility to minorities.

This is not Shusterman’s best series, but it is good. The third installment started slowly and plodded along for much of the way. But the ending redeemed it, mostly because the end was redemption. Redemption of faith and hope and humanity. A true Shusterman trademark.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, or at least that is one of the themes of this tale. What good is power of you can't control it? The shards are reunited and face the end of the world as they know it.

I just didn't connect to this story. I love Shusterman and this is the only series I've ever felt "meh" about.

"The evidence of injustice is sometimes as important as justice."
…[I]t wasn’t their strength… that needed to be tempered and reinforced. It was their fortitude in facing the darkness.
My favourite part about Neal Schusterman is that he writes his characters so real. Which is not to say that there’s a lot of depth to them, unfortunately, which I have complained about before, but they do act like real children, teens, and adults: a little bit selfish, a little bit good and a whole lot human. Growth is another crucial aspect he does well – not all the characters grow well, but they manage to grow better even after hitting the depths that any human would sink to if left to their own devices.
Maddy was an interesting new addition to the cast. Her speedy rise to the top rungs of the military at such an age so as to be reasonable, but not incredibly creepy when she begins a sexual relationship with Dillon seems somewhat suspect, and I wish she wasn’t known for sleeping around, but I guess I understood her mindset. She exemplified the fact that no matter how good people are, the presence of power skews things – relationships, emotions, responsibilities… Far too many YA authors seem to think that characters either have to be manic pixie dream girls, or unfeeling robots who show bursts of frenzied, calculated emotion when the situation calls for it (I’m looking at you, Divergent).
I was a little disappointed at how everything ‘worked’ so perfectly between Dillon, Maddy, and Deanna (Tear Soul A along dotted line, Insert Guilt into Soul B, Insert Soul C into Slot A, Initiate Happily Ever After Ending Sequence), and that Lourdes never really gave herself a break (though I also appreciated that about her character – some people find it hard to change and can only do it under duress, and ungracefully at that) - to balance this, I liked that she was given a pivotal role in the battle.
Tessic was wholly unnecessary and random. Was it just me? I mean, a crusade to undo the Holocaust? Really? I do, however, appreciate the gentle treatment of religious fervour (nearly unheard of in modern fiction), and the fact that Dillion apparently understood his mentor’s motivations (I must admit I had my doubts).
Finally – the vectors.
What.
As in physics? A temporal, lagging, and leading vector which are alive? Feeding on darkness, which is also alive? They are certainly creepy, and I can get on board with why their subjects (the soul thieves like Okoya) wanted to make it into this world, but their presence and world made no sense to me. And I disliked that Schusterman began to rely so heavily on fanciful concepts for this apocalypse (sentient vectors, tearing a scar in the sky, etc.). I don’t know. Clearly it’s a personal problem that I’m willing to believe in astrophysiology but not in the universe as a being (God?) with antibodies; I just wish Schusterman had made it more concrete and realistic to match with his characters. I’m not wholly dissatisfied with this series, but I do think the last book fell short of its potential.

Once again, I'm faced with the dilemma of how to rate this book. With the resurfacing of Okoya, Shusterman once again falls back on old and disturbing tropes regarding nonconventional gender and equates genderfluid/agender traits with menacing or "evil" traits.
The other most disturbing aspect of this book to me was Lourdes's rapid downward spiral. This, at least, is understandable within the context of the character's history for the most part and given the trauma she experienced in Thief of Souls, but I found it a little odd that given the peace she seemed to feel with at least her functional obesity in Scorpion Shards, how focused she was on eating and making other people fat in this installment. I guess I can kind of get it, but again, the way that Shusterman wrote it was gross at times to me and smacked of fat-shaming. I also feel obligated to warn that Lourdes loses sight of any kind of consent in this novel, so that's something to be aware of before reading.
All that said, this book benefited a lot from having more space to spread out, I think. As opposed to the 200- or 300-some pages of the previous two installments, Shattered Sky was over 500, and there were a lot more secondary characters with major roles. I was really happy to see more of Drew especially, and he quickly became one of my favorites, good-naturedly defying tragic queer tropes all over the damn place.
Getting to see the shards interacting in different constellations was, to me, the best part of this novel. Before they usually interacted in very specific constellations: Dillon and Deanna, or Dillon alone, and the other four. In this book they had to work together in lots of different ways and configurations in order to survive, and I think that really revealed how strong and weak they all are individually. Relatedly, the concept of syntaxis was really fascinating and tied up a lot of loose ends as to how the shards work, together and separately - but I won't give that away because finding out about it was definitely one of my favorite parts of the novel.
Finally, the "villains" of this installment were by far the most compelling of the series to me and also put Okoya in good perspective. I loved everything about them from beginning, middle, to end, and I think it was a great way to end the series, because there was really no simple solution to a problem that large. Overall, once again, I'd recommend this book and this series as a whole, with the caveat that a lot of issues are treated with ignorance by Shusterman.

Shattered Sky picks up with Dillon allowing himself to be caught and profiled by an interrogator in order to heal said. It was fun to see just how easy it is for Dillon to read someone, but the conversation also serves a quick refresher for what happened to the Shards in Thief of Souls. His capture results in him being locked up in an unbelievably high-security prison designed specifically for him; this of course means that there is little interaction with others, which makes sense given his powers.
After the events of Thief of Souls, we saw the Shards become gods in the eyes of the world. Their powers have grown exponentially, and are now virtually limitless, and somewhat uncountable. They affect the world around them without even trying to. Thus is the magnitude of their power now. However, after the fallout of the Bringer’s manipulation, we are down to just three Shards: Dillon, Winston and Lourdes. Each of them are going through their own struggles after what the Bringer out them through, but I’ll admit that Lourdes is the one I think was affected the most by everything. She’s basically a puppet master now, robbing people of their free will with no sign of remorse whatsoever. She’s become drunk on her power, just as Dillon once was…
Speaking of Dillon, seeing his being imprisoned at a government black site is one of the more interesting parts of the story. He turned himself in because he felt he couldn’t control his power, but that backfired because it turns out that he’s being used as nothing more than a tool to heal old cronies and rich international government officials. What’s more, is even his powers aren’t being utilized, he’s sedated and locked up in a chair that mutes his abilities to perceive the world and those around him. That doesn’t stop the visons/dreams from haunting him though; he’s constantly haunted by images of foreboding future if he doesn’t find a way to get out of the person, and reunite with the other Shards and find a way to stop the vison from coming to pass. Add to that old and new enemies, and you have a recipe for disaster that only the combined power of the Shards can stop.
Ripe with emotion that you wouldn’t believe came from someone not in their teens (I mean, Shusterman writes the mind of teens struggling with otherworldly powers, doubts and responsibilities like no other!), plot twists, and new characters you can’t help but enjoy to love and/or hate, Shattered Sky is a fitting conclusion to Star Shard Chronicles if there ever was one. I’m glad I came across this trilogy. I’d definitely recommend it!
