Helpful Score: 1
Ill be upfront and say that Sci-Fi novels usually arent my cup of tea, but theres something about Glow that just drew me in from page 1. Maybe its because Amy Kathleen Ryan created a world so realistic, so visceral, that I couldnt help myself. Maybe its because the characters are complex and the plot is powerful. Its probably an electrifying combination of all of the above.
I loved Waverly as a character. When the girls are kidnapped, she becomes their leader as the oldest. They look to her, and she has the insight to not only realize something is very wrong with the way the girls were taken, but also the intelligence to know she has to play along while on board the New Horizon. She was a joy to read from start to finish. I loved her sections in the novel and was often fighting the urge to skip ahead and stay with her story instead of reading what was happening to those left behind on the Empyrean.
The other two leads, Kieran and Seth, were somewhat more disturbing for me to read. I felt like Kieran was a weak leader, and he was very black and white. I also didnt feel the chemistry between him and Waverly the way I did between Waverly and Seth. The problem with Seth is that I felt he went from shy, bad boy to crazy, psycho boy. I honestly have no idea who Id prefer Waverly withI feel Kieran is too wishy-washy and Seth is too unpredictable (and not in a fun way). Im assuming that well later learn more about their reasons for doing things in later books and that will help me make a better choice. But for this book, I didnt really enjoy either.
The Sky Chasers series is definitely going to be big. You can tell that from reading the blurb. Its futuristic, its dramatic and its insanely intense. While I dont usually like to be as in the dark as I feel with this book, sometimes its good not to know where the story (and characters) are going. There were several plot twists in this book that left me breathless. I cant wait to see what Ryan has in store for the rest of the series.
