Summary
In the tradition of the Lunar Chronicles, this sweeping reimagining of Les Misérables tells the story of three teens from very different backgrounds who are thrown together amid the looming threat of revolution on the French planet-colony of Laterre.
A thief. An officer. A guardian.
Three strangers, one shared destiny....
When the Last Days came, the planet of Laterre promised hope, a new life for a wealthy French family and their descendants. But 500 years later, it’s now a place where an extravagant elite class reigns supreme; where the clouds hide the stars and the poor starve in the streets; where a rebel group, long thought dead, is resurfacing.
Whispers of revolution have begun - a revolution that hinges on three unlikely heroes....
Chatine is a street-savvy thief who will do anything to escape the brutal Regime, including spy on Marcellus, the grandson of the most powerful man on the planet.
Marcellus is an officer - and the son of a renowned traitor. In training to take command of the military, Marcellus begins to doubt the government he’s vowed to serve when his father dies and leaves behind a cryptic message that only one person can read: a girl named Alouette.
Alouette is living in an underground refuge, where she guards and protects the last surviving library on the planet. But a shocking murder will bring Alouette to the surface for the first time in 12 years...and plunge Laterre into chaos.
All three have a role to play in a dangerous game of revolution - and together, they will shape the future of a planet.
Power, romance, and destiny collide in this sweeping reimagining of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece, Les Misérables.

Good but started to drag
I really liked the idea of this book but thought the characters were a bit weak - apart from Chatine - and the ending didn’t have a very exciting climax. I didn’t buy into some of the ideas like everyone thinking Chatine was a boy just because she kept her hood up, but if I ignored the things that didn’t quite seem believable - even in a fantasy setting - the book had a lot of potential. There just isn’t quite enough to make me want to read another 18 hour sequel.
