3.5 stars — A weird blend of kind of hokey and hard to suspend my disbelief, mixed with compelling and engaging. There were times where the pacing fell a little bit, and the book got wrapped up in repetitiveness. The thing is that some of that repetitiveness was about Mya pining for her family and […]
Favorite Quotes: The horsemen rode to the four corners of the world, and in their wake machines broke, fuses blew. The Internet crashed and computers died.
