Title: The Clouded Sky (Earth & Sky, #2)

When seventeen-year-old Skylar escapes the time-bending Enforcers who secretly control Earth, her troubles have just begun. She and her friend Win take refuge on Win’s home space station with his fellow rebels, but the fate of Skylar’s planet still spins out of her control.

To avoid detection, Skylar poses as the Earthling “pet” of Win’s rival, an arrogant boy named Jule. Homesick and faced with a cool reception from the other rebels, she throws herself into the group’s mission: assembling a weapon to disable Earth’s restrictive time field. Gradually, Skylar’s skill for detail gains respect—even from Jule, who is more vulnerable than he lets on.

Yet challenges spring from every side. Not only must Sky navigate the muddy waters of romance, but suspicions of betrayal grow among the rebels as their work narrowly misses sabotage.

In the latest in Megan Crewe’s Earth & Sky series, can Skylar expose the traitor before time runs out and Earth is destroyed?

The sci-fi genre really does not appeal to me. I should have thought of that before I started reading (and before I requested the whole trilogy on Netgalley and now I have to read all three parts). But I'm not a quitter! I have to finish what I started. Even though I'll be suffering.. A lot.

In The Clouded Sky there was almost no Win for which I am grateful. I don't know why but I imagine him as this annoying, thin, nerdy boy with stinky breath (sorry Win). But there was lot of Jule. He's the cool kid. He's funny, out-going and doesn't put his foot in his mouth. And he's also incerdibly sweet inside.

So if I have to choose one team, I'm on team Jule. Definitely.

Sky was even worse then in the previous book. She got more boring, she counted with higher numbers and my hand twitched almost the whole time I was reading, I wanted to slap her so hard.

There's not much to say about the plot. Because there was none. Well. Okay, there was some but not much. The majority of the book was just never-ending circle of thinking, doing one thing over and over again and the rest was Sky's inner monologue.

And when something finally did happen it was predictable. For a while I was confused how come it didn't happen the way I thought it would, but then I found it couple of pages later so..

This series is really not for me and if you like fast-moving, gripping books it's not for you either.
