Blurb from Goodreads:
Most
people want to save the world; seventeen-year-old Tora Reynolds just wants to
get the hell off of it.
One of the last survivors in Earth’s final years, a
teenage girl yearns to escape the wasteland her planet has become after the sun
turns “red giant,” but discovers her fellow survivors are even deadlier than
the hostile environment.
My Review:
*I
received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Thanks to Egmont USA and Kristi Helvig*
2.5/5
stars
One of
the last people on Earth, Tora Reynolds lives in an underground bunker.
Unsure
of how much longer she can survive, Tora wishes to escape from the barren
planet and deadly sun.
This is
one of those books that I can't actually decide if I liked it or not.
The good
points: the idea was intriguing and I liked some of the characters.
The bad points:
the plot wasn't gripping and there were parts when I was like 'what?'.
I didn't
really feel that there was much build up before the ending.
Overall
an okay book which, for me, failed to live up to its potential.
