Available - NOW (in stores this week)
Sci-fi is just one of those genres that I
would never choose to read of my own violation yet oddly enough whenever I do
give one a go I vastly enjoy it – as it was with this space set YA debut…
Humans have colonised into the deep reaches
of space and this tale is set on a relatively new terraformed planet named
Sekoia – a society that looks picture perfect on the surface but harbors a
treacherous secret. Enter our protagonist Lissa who has been suffering for
years with attacks of phantom pain, not her own but her twins. Separated at
birth, Lissa has no idea that the echo of pain she feels is coming from
the real experiences of her twin.
As you can imagine the story really heats
up when Lissa finds the truth, and her sister but while on the run from
everything she knows and loves Lissa finds a newer stronger version of herself, re-assessing her life and
the people in it, who she can trust and who it turns out she cant.
This is a fast-paced and exciting debut
with a solid and interesting storyline, I really enjoyed the world/technology
and the main characters with their different moral struggles and growth from beginning
to end which I feel is rarely portrayed well in YA novels of late. I especially loved
the way Imogen ended the story with good resolution yet a compelling set up for
book two – which I definitely plan to pick up!
