A review by wealhtheow
Light Raid by Connie Willis, Cynthia Felice

3.0

A teenage biotech is evacuated from her parents and their corporation (she has an equal amount of loyalty to each) because they’re under attack, but returns when she suspects something has happened to her father. Ariadne cleverly maneuvers her way through checkpoints, rubble and other impediments of war time, but when she gets home, she finds her mother has been charged with sabotage. Has the water supply been sabotaged? Is her mother really a spy? And what are the true loyalties of the adults around her? Ariadne has to figure all this out while simultaneously fending off a prince and dealing with her attraction to the prince’s manservant. A fast paced, smart spy novel with a large dose of romantic YA. Ariadne and her family live in a world that has slightly better technology, a society based on ancient Greece, and completely different nations (for instance, Quebec is its own, warlike, country). I was very impressed at how smoothly it all fit together.
