Sky's End

I am actually quite conflicted about this one. On the one hand, I thought the writing was strange and also uninventive (which is weird thing to say about a post-apocalyptic fantasy). After the first 85 pages or so, getting consistently more annoyed by this book, I actually couldn't put it down. So. I don't know. The stakes are high, the monsters are everywhere, and the themes of loyalty and friendship are strong. And while I am still annoyed by some of the writing choices, I would absolutely hand this to a teen looking for a thrilling story.
