On one hand, you can taste and eat all the food you want, but on the other, you don’t get to keep any of it.Ĭharacters. I really enjoyed Vela. The catch is that they cannot eat and the nutrients come from “nobility” that eat 6 meals a day and then they get sucked dry of all of the nutrients. They came up with a pill that gives nutrients to people. I thought it was a unique sci-fi adventure where the colony was stuck/ lost on a planet in the middle of space, hoping earth would rescue them or they could rescue themselves. Plot. I loved the plot and premise of this book. But when someone begins to sabotage the Trials, Vela must reevaluate her own integrity-and learn the true sacrifice of becoming a ruler.” Refusing to accept losing the boy she loves, Vela bends the rules and cheats. And he’s determined to win, because by doing so, he can save the life of his Non-Eater sister. But then Carr, the boy she’s loved all her life, emerges as the best candidate in the Bittersweet Trials.

Vela is tasked with choosing a boy fit to die for the king, which is impossible enough. Her father, the king, is dying, and only a transplant of organs from a healthy Non-Eater boy will save him. ” In a world where nutrition can be transferred via a pill, and society is split into Eaters and Non-Eaters, seventeen-year-old Princess Vela has a grave dilemma. I am so excited to be on the Star-Crossed blog tour! And there is a GIVEAWAY!! Let’s dig in, shall we?
