I won this in a FirstReads giveaway--it was originally published in 1983 but it was rereleased this year.I ended up abandoning it; I found the characters flat, the worldbuilding both uninspiring and incomplete, and the premise nothing I haven't seen before--yes, even in books published before 1983 (...
Earthseed was…amazing! Seriously, it was so good. It’s no wonder that Paramount Pictures has teamed up with Melissa Rosenberg (the adaptor of the Twilight films) to release Earthseed through Tall Girl Productions as a major motion picture.

However, it makes sense since it is a group of teens that have never had adults to learn from, only a "ship" who is really just a personable voice to them. They w...
This book predates the Hunger Games trilogy by almost 30 years, but if you liked HG, I highly recommend this one. I can't believe I missed reading it in my own teen years, when it was freshly printed. Glad to have caught it now, though, and I'll be picking up the sequels in short order. Note: Appar...
