A review by mirel
Daughter of Nothing by Eric Kent Edstrom
4.0
I received this book as a free digital download from storycartel.com in return for my honest review.
This sci-fi/mystery caught me up straight from the beginning and was hard to put down. Good plot; strong, well developed characters; well written: interesting premise in the hands of a talented writer. Much room for discussion about science and ethics.
The story takes place in an island school for 36 schoolchildren (aged 9-17)who are allegedly being raised to lead mankind in a post-apocalyptic world.
For more details about the story itself, see: http://www.amazon.com/Daughter-Nothing-The-Scion-Chronicles-ebook/dp/B00F7ROSHC/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Straight to the end, the author has unexpected twists and turns in the plot, so that the more I read, the harder it was to put down. I basically read through it in 2 sittings...
While the book appears to be the start of a series, it works well as a stand alone, and is appropriate for teens and up.
