We Light Up the Sky by Lilliam Rivera
3.5
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
We Light Up the Sky is an action packed SF until the very end. In an almost omniscient way, Rivera skips us between Pedro, Luna, and Rafa's perspective. One of my favorite elements had to be Luna's experiences with grief. The way that people think that at some point, one should be over it. Each one of these characters bring something heart wrenching to We Light Up the Sky. Something human and emotional to this SF.
In many ways, We Light Up the Sky is about the things we don't pay attention to, until they crash into us. About the way the world doesn't just stop when our world does. While it's very much about this new invasion, War of the Worlds style, it's also about our ghosts and regrets which come back to haunt us.
