This week the reading ladies have been slightly busy so Victoria has taken it upon herself to select a WoW for today. Thereof, her pick for today is:
Ashes of Twilight
By Kassy TaylorExpected Publication: November 13th 2012
Wren MacAvoy works as a coal miner for a domed city that was constructed in the mid-nineteenth century to protect the royal blood line of England when astronomers spotted a comet on a collision course with Earth. Humanity would be saved by the most groundbreaking technology of the time. But after nearly 200 years of life beneath the dome, society has become complacent, and the coal is running out. Plus, there are those who wonder, is there life outside the dome, or is the world still consumed by fire? When one of Wren's friends escapes the confines of the dome, he is burned alive and put on display as a warning to those seeking to disrupt the dome's way of life. But Alex's final words are haunting. "The sky is blue."
What happens next is a whirlwind of adventure, romance, conspiracy and the struggle to stay alive in a world where nothing is as it seems. Wren unwittingly becomes a catalyst for a revolution that destroys the dome, and the only way to survive might be to embrace what the entire society has feared their entire existence. (Goodreads)
What do you think? I feel that it definitely has some potential. ^_^
Hmmm sounds like it could be interesting. The simple line "The sky is blue" gave me chills! I hope you enjoy it!
