A review by ash_hernick
Sky on Fire by Emmy Laybourne

1.0

Reads like cheap horror (and not in a fun, campy way) and the writing is just so boring to try and keep up with. I understand that the author wanted to authentically represent the voices of teenage boys, but if that means "Boring, simple sentences that are endlessly repetitive" I'm not on board with her plan. All of the characters are shallow and lack any complexity or depth, and all of the characters of color are stereotypes of their respective races. None of this sat well with me. It's just a poorly written book - I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
