A review by mandatoryreads
Sky's End by Marc J Gregson
4.0
(3.5 stars rounded up) I really enjoyed the world building present in this book. The dystopian world and imagination it took to create it is beyond anything I’ve ever read, and this aspect is where most of my praise lies. Rating this one was slightly difficult because I’m not the largest fan of middle-grade verbiage and writing styles. However, just because that particular writing style isn’t my cup of tea, I don’t want to dock it too much because it was clearly marketed for a younger audience and I knew that going in. I can see some young men absolutely going bonkers for this book and upcoming series. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the silly little insults thrown in (birdshit, cuss, etc) but again - this was written by a teacher geared toward his student audience. I know those kids would eat this up. So, that being said I do think this has a great place on the shelves and I think it’s an absolute wonderful way to get young adults (like 12-16 range?) into fantasy and sci-fi. Job well done!
