Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan
Oct. 24th, 2011 10:18 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
A ship heading for New Earth is halfway through its incredible journey across the galaxy.
On board, sixteen-year-old Waverley and Kieran are part of the first generation born in space.
They are in love.
They believe their future is written in the stars.
They have never seen a stranger before …
… until the day they are wrenched apart, and suddenly find themselves fighting for their lives.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
An interesting mix of science fiction, romance and dystopian future, this didn’t quite come together for me mainly because I thought that the treatment of religion was a little too heavy handed and the supporting cast slightly too underdeveloped. That said, the cliff hanger ending means I’ll read on and I’m interested in seeing where Amy Kathleen Ryan goes with the allusion she’s creating to the colony of the New World.
GLOW was released in the UK on 7th October. Thanks to Macmillan for the ARC of this book.
