A review by puzumaki
Dark Energy by Robison Wells

2.0

*SIGH* Decent premise, poorly executed. Not only that, I had picked it up mostly because Minnesota played a significant setting role. However, Wells must have never visited the area he's describing because it sounds more like Nowhere, Iowa than a place with a fairly diverse population of 3 million and an active international airport. Very disappointing if this is why you are grabbing the book. Frankly, if you are grabbing the book because of anything else, it's not worth reading. It fails at the YA, alien, Native American/diversity angle, and "romance" aspects, and mushing them together didn't help.
