When I read Glow about two years ago I was mixed. It's an interesting book in which it's hard to decide who to root for and who to trust. A great set of morally questionable characters. This book picks up about a month after Glow ended and continues my almost frustration with figuring out who (if ...

I read several reviews from readers who were so excited by *how much better* Spark was than Glow. I have to disagree. I thought Spark suffered from the same weaknesses Glow did--not enough interpersonal development. Ryan is fantastic with dramatic tension when it comes to plot: she can craft a great...

Good grief, I'm exhausted.I finished this in one sitting - and it's an audio book, so that's saying something. It's like 12 hours long. And it's not that it took such energy to listen - it's that this story just emotionally wears you out!Sometimes you don't particularly care for a story overall, a...

After reading the first book, I was intrigued. GLOW gave the reader a good insight on space travels along with action. Spark, amped it up A LOT! For me, the second installment of the series blew me away and I want MORE!What I enjoyed most about this book is the plot. Once you start the book, your im...

Behold: a trilogy with a middle book that doesn't dip in quality compared to Book 1. Straight off the bat, you've got to give the author points for that.What I love most about the Sky Chasers series is the setting: a generational spaceship on the way to a new planet. Also, the rival spaceship, and t...

Wow, this book did not disappoint! I love the main characters in this series, though I did find some parts a bit hard to believe (the way the children acted in places and the dialog sometimes as well). But still it was a really great read...and now I'm VERY anxiously waiting to read the last book!

(MINOR SPOILERS BELOW FOR GLOW) This is the sequel to Glow, which I read earlier this year and loved. I couldn’t find it on the Kobo store, to my surprise, so I purchased the e-book through Google Play. Here is an excerpt of the summary:After a desperate escape from the enemy ship, Waverly has final...

Under normal circumstances i would have loved Seth but somehow the fact that everyone thinks that Kieran is a dictator changed my view. I am totally for justice and because of what Waverly thought about Kieran based on what Seth said pissed me off and also the fact that she thought that he was actin...

I read Glow when I received it for review last year, and I adored it. I remember being slightly put off at the beginning because the characters lived in such a strange society, where teenagers could get married and everyone accepted and even pushed it. Because babies are important on a spaceship, y'...

Glow ended with Kieran's worrying leadership methods and Waverly's realisation that they have nothing in common anymore. Spark begins a month after and follows Waverly, Kieran and the rest of the children aboard the Empyrean as they race to catch up their sister-ship New Horizons and rescue their ca...
