An ingenious thrill-ride of a novel\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaughan draws readers into a devastating futuristic world on the brink of its end in this deeply engrossing dystopian tale. Kalli has never known her parents except for a few hazy memories of her mother struggling with her mental illness. Trying to adjust to the ways of others in her small village, she takes comfort in a few family possessions her mother left for her. When a mysterious sphere shows her the past, bringing her face to face with the truth about the planet\u2019s destruction and her own grandmother\u2019s role in it, she must find a way to use her knowledge to escape the looming Doom of Stars. Through Kalli\u2019s story, Vaughan delves into adolescents\u2019 struggles with emotional turmoil and questions about human sexuality. The fully realized characters, fast-paced narrative, and imaginative SF elements keep the pages flying. Vaughan\u2019s intelligent prose transforms the familiar dystopian setup into a twisty, unsettling roller coaster full of intrigue and apprehension. This is a page-turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
