Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan
4.0
*I received a copy for free from the publisher via a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.*
I'm quite surprised by how much I like this book. I'm a bit skeptical about all science-fiction books, because it's not really my favorite genre. Dr. Who is about all the sci-fi I want. However, Glow was a great book to get me into the science-fiction groove.
The premise is interesting, and I was intrigued from the first page. I mean, the first sentence is beautiful, "The other ship hung in the sky like a pendant, silver in the ether light cast by the nebula." I was really intrigued, and after the first few chapters, I wanted to know the ending.
The only major complaint I have about Glow was the characterization of the main three characters. It was lacking, and sometimes made them hard to care about or relate to.
I'm awaiting the sequel, and would recommend this series to even those skeptical about picking up a science-fiction novel.
