Unstoppable - Dreams Bigger Than Heartbreak by Charlie Jane Anders
The thrilling intergalactic adventures of the Unstoppable series continue in the sequel to the Locus Award-winning Victories Greater Than Death, from the international-bestselling author of All the Birds in the Sky. They'll do anything to be the people they were meant to be - even journey into the heart of evil. Rachael Townsend is the first artist ever to leave Earth and journey out into the galaxy - but after an encounter with an alien artifact, she can't make art at all. Elza Monteiro is determined to be the first human to venture inside the Palace of Scented Tears and become a princess - except that inside the palace, she finds the last person she ever wanted to see again. Tina Mains is studying at the Royal Space Academy with her friends, preparing to save the universe - and she's not the badass space hero everyone was expecting. These three young women are thrust into the hands of destiny, journeying into dark voids, navigating deadly spy missions, and facing impossible choices that could change all their lives forever. With the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance, they must discover their strength, whatever form it takes.
