Previously on GoodLIT, I reviewed The Green Ember  series by S. D. Smith. You can find the details of my 4-star review HERE . However, I had an 11-year-old read the first 2 books in the series, and this is her opinion of them. *Warning: Spoilers ahead! The Green Ember I want to read the next book because their adventure is really fun. I like how the author made the plot and the story, especially when he made it so you really like Kyle and then it turns out he's a traitor. That's mostly what I like. It is a good book.

" A person is like a novel: you don't know how it will end until the very last page. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth reading to the very end. " —I-330, We We  is a "classic" dystopian fiction written in 1924 by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin. Comparable in style to other classic dystopians Brave New World  (Aldous Huxley - 1932) and 1984  (George Orwell - 1949), We  paints a picture of a possible future that is both wildly beyond imagining and uncomfortably similar to society today. The Basics: D-503, Builder of the Integral, is a proud cipher of the One State. He's a mathematician, someone whose mind works in numbers and geometric planes better than words. Regardless, D has decided to keep a record, a true and honest account of his thoughts and experiences. His hope: that when the Integral is completed, his record will be sent out among the stars to explain to other people on new planets what life in the One State is like. In his account, D e

If a military life was long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of stark terror—as one of her instructors had said—then civilian life seemed to be long periods of boredom interrupted by moments of dismal reflection. --Kylara Vatta, “Trading in Danger” (Vatta’s War #1) A combination of sci-fi epic and space opera, Elizabeth Moon’s 5-book Vatta's War series follows the unlikely rise of Kylara Vatta from politically disgraced military cadet to rookie captain of a derelict merchant tub to Commander-in-chief of a multisystem military force which may someday (you guessed it) save the world.
