WARNING: Late Arrival Spoilers abound for These Broken Stars.Jubilee Chase is a soldier. Flynn Cormac is an insurgent.Their sides are at war for the planet of Avon, a desolate planet where the terraforming didn't take, and no one knows why. A planet where soldiers occasionally lose their minds and commit chilling acts of unprovoked violence... except for Lee. A planet where strange experiments are performed at a mysterious building in the fens... that only Flynn has seen.When Flynn's infiltration of the base base is discovered by Lee, he's forced to take her hostage to escape. More than that, he has questions about what's happening on his planet that he hopes she can answer. When she can't, he takes her to the rebels' base as his prisoner.She escapes, but that's only the beginning. Because Lee does have a connection to the strange things happening on Avon, and to find out what that is, she'll have to dig deep into the horrors of her past.But she won't have to do it alone...This Shattered World is the second novel in The Starbound Trilogy by Meagan Spooner and Aimee Kaufmann, that began with These Broken Stars and ends with Their Fractured Light. | |

The Dreaded: Stone-faced Chase has quite the reputation among the Fianna. After seeing her in action, Flynn admits her reputation is unfair: she's much more lethal than they say. | |

Worf Had the Flu: Jubilee suffers a grazing bullet wound, quickly followed by broken ribs. They're soon treated, but continue to slow her down until the end of the book. | |

Bad Liar | |
| This Shattered World / int_3cb6468e | comment |
Bad Liar: Played with. Tarver has got much better at lying since the first book, but Jubilee knows him well enough to realise that it's Lilac who was changed by the whispers and is in danger of being taken away, rather than Tarver. | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters | |
| This Shattered World / int_4ac8b81f | comment |
Humans Are the Real Monsters: The whispers are adamant in the belief that all humans are as evil as Roderick LaRoux, and not without reason: his company has lured them from the dimensional rift where they live, trapped them, experimented on them and tortured them when they don't comply. McBride murdered his own people, including at least one child, to incite more conflict. | |

An Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap! when Flynn tries to convince Sean that Jubilee did not commit the above mass murder, Sean retorts that the murders were committed with a Gleidel; who has those except the military? A nasty pause follows as everyone present realises the answer: McBride. | |

You Have to Believe Me!: Flynn initially sneaked onto the base to probe for information about an installation to the east that's not supposed to be there. Jubilee insists that there is no such base, and when Flynn takes her to the site there's nothing to be seen, to his amazement. | |

Kill All Humans: The whispers explicitly plan to kill every human on every planet, except for their tormentor Roderick LaRoux. Him, they plan to leave as the only remaining human so he can endure the agony he inflicted on them, knowing it's his fault. | |

Hive Mind | |
| This Shattered World / int_90965cc7 | comment |
Hive Mind: The whispers are a hive mind. During LaRoux Industries' experiments, subjects were punished for noncompliance by being separated from the rest, the worst agony they can experience. For this, they plan to Kill All Humans and leave Roderick LaRoux as the sole survivor. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| This Shattered World / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Readers who were paying attention to the first book will recognise Jubilee's symptoms when Flynn tries to show her the "secret base" that suddenly isn't there: dizziness, nausea, hearing funny noises? Yep, that's the whispers all right. "Learn fast, or don't." Jubilee's quoting of her former captain is an early hint that it's Tarver. | |

| This Shattered World / int_a1b141f4 | comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: A frequent reaction from people recovering from the Fury. When Jubilee finds herself surrounded by rebel bodies, obviously killed by a Gleidel, with her own Gleidel in her hands, she begs Flynn to let McBride kill her. | |

| This Shattered World / int_a536f3a3 | comment |
Gender-Blender Name: Nickname, anyway. It seems that Lilac was unaware that the "Lee Chase" her fiancé travelled across the galaxy to help out was, in fact, a woman. Mistaken for Cheating is averted, though, as she trusts Tarver. | |

| This Shattered World / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: Jubilee admits that Lilac is a master of this trope: if she hadn't met the real Lilac, she realises she'd never have seen past the Spoiled Brat facade. When Tarver passes on an encoded message from Lilac, it appears to be about fashion and parties. | |

Oh, Crap!: When Flynn realises that a fellow rebel has told McBride that Flynn is keeping Captain Lee Chase prisoner. He just barely gets there in time to keep McBride from beating her to death. When Jubilee realises that footage of Flynn from the bar is being transmitted around the base... as Flynn is lying in a bed in the med bay. When Flynn returns to the rebel hideout to find Jubilee surrounded by murdered rebels, Gleidel in hand, and with no idea of what happened. An Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap! when Flynn tries to convince Sean that Jubilee did not commit the above mass murder, Sean retorts that the murders were committed with a Gleidel; who has those except the military? A nasty pause follows as everyone present realises the answer: McBride. | |

Theme Naming | |
| This Shattered World / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Shakespeare-related names occur frequently. The novel takes place on the planet Avon, Jubilee's home planet is called Verona, and she initially calls Flynn Romeo. City names on Verona apparently hailed from the Nato alphabet; Jubilee was from November, and she mentions a city called Sierra. | |

| This Shattered World / int_ff17ccf1 | comment |
Innocently Insensitive: Flynn points out how unfairly the people of Avon are treated: the schools were closed, and they can't use the equivalent of the internet or TV. Jubilee points out that on a planet called Verona, a rebellion was organised using characters on a children's cartoon to communicate. Flynn complains that he's never heard of Verona: why are his people being made to suffer because of things that happened on some planet they've never heard of? Jubilee is from Verona, and her parents were killed in that rebellion. | |
