I love it even more when it is believable. This is a book that I might have passed up at some point because of the cover and because it is sci. If I passed it now though, I would give it a chance. Elizabeth Norris Unraveling gave me an interest in sci-fi. This sounds like just the sort of book to make me love it.

I thought that this book would be a bit steampunk judging by the cover, but although I have nothing against steampunk, I tend to lean towards sci-fi.<br />Did I mention how much I like books that take place in the future? And the fact that it's a cross between Star Wars and other TV from geek-dom makes it even better!gracelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14719079692317119729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-11564026278701248492012-05-11T21:37:07.584-04:002012-05-11T21:37:07.584-04:00+JMJ+

Not that it matters or anything. =P<br /><br />Thanks for the review, Evie! Now I want to read this, if only because it doesn't have some girl torn between Jesse and Cassius.

I hope to find who has a copy. :D The cover seems to have some steampunk feel to it too. It's a genre that I've started to explore. :) From the looks of just reading the review, I think the book does have a possibility of being turned into a movie or a TV series or whichever medium best translates the book. I think it would be great. :)Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479658382213023517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-79331401955027893442011-12-15T09:14:58.150-05:002011-12-15T09:14:58.150-05:00This sounds amazing.
