A review by beastreader
Sky on Fire by Emmy Laybourne

4.0

I have never read the first book, yet I had picked up a copy of the second one before realizing it was book two. However, despite this fact I was able to jump right into this book and start reading. There was a nice, quick overview of what had happened in the first book and who the main characters were and their main objective. Each child played a part in the overall story as a whole. No one was a wallflower.

This is probably one of the better dystopian books to read. It felt believable and the storyline had great depth to it. I instantly was transported in the story as if I was one of the survivors. I like that while there was some romance trying to form that it never really did as I think it would have taken away some from the story. Nothing felt rushed even though this is a quick read. The ending does lead up to the next book. I now plan to go back and check out book one.
