Monument 14 Sky
on Fire by Emmy Laybourne is fast paced and easy to read. I
started it in the evening and finished it before I fell asleep. The
action and my care for the characters kept me hooked til the end. I
look forward to reading the next in the series.
In this second book
of the series, we learn more about what happens to Dean, Alex, and
the rest of the 14 children we came to know in the first book. One
group out on the road, their progress is tracked through Alex and in
the bottom of the page marks the miles. Dean and the four with him
remain at the big box store and the day count continues to mark their
lives on the bottom of the page when the story is about them. I like
that denotation at the bottom of the page. It makes it really easy
to differentiate and give a sense of place and time while reading.
As with the first, I
will not have my girls reading this installment until they are
significantly older. There is one intimate scene. Not as detailed
as the one in the first book, but definitely older teen to adult
entanglement issue. The gore was less detailed than the first, which
was a relief to me.
Have you read
Monument 14 Sky on Fire by Emmy Laybourne? What did you think
of it?
