The Girl at the Center of the World by Austin Aslan

4.0

I really do think this is a wonderful series that's deeply embedded in the culture of its setting and never really appropriates it. The extra sci-fi elements only add to this. I picked up the first book last Christmas when I was in Hawaii myself (so it was realy cool, knowing where half the things were) and I was delighted to find that it wasn't just a regional book, so I read it here in cold Canada.

All the characters are solid and this is a very realistic imagining of what would happen had the power went off. I adore this series. Really.
