Skyship Academy: The Pearl Wars
Skyship Academy: The Pearl Wars | Nick James
2 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
"A definite must-read!"—JAMES DASHNER, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner A devastated Earth's last hope is found in Pearls: small, mysterious orbs that fall from space and are capable of supplying enough energy to power entire cities. Battling to control the Pearls are the Skyship dwellers—political dissidents who live in massive ships in the Earth's stratosphere—and the corrupt Surface government. Jesse Fisher, a Skyship slacker, and Cassius Stevenson, a young Surface operative, cross paths when they both venture into forbidden territory in pursuit of Pearls. Their chance encounter triggers an unexpected reaction, endowing each boy with remarkable—and dangerous—abilities that their respective governments would stop at nothing to possess. Enemies thrust together with a common goal, Jesse and Cassius make their way to the ruins of Seattle to uncover the truth about their new powers, the past they didn't know they shared, and a shocking secret about the Pearls.

This was a tough read through no fault of the author. He just happened to choose a name for his protagonist that was close enough to my friend-who-died's name to make it hurt. And then proceeded to use the whole name several times each chapter. I couldn't handle it, so it went back to the library.

jeff I'm sorry. 😟That must have been so tough. 8y

When the main character's name is almost the same as the friend you lost to tragic circumstances 7 months ago it can make a dystopian YA novel way more heart-wrenching that it was intended. Let's see if I can get through this.
