About the Author
Tessa Elwood is a web designer obsessed with stories, coffee, and running shoes. Her previous book is Inherit the Stars. She lives in Kansas City, MO.
From School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up—Kit Franks is a pariah, recognized only as the daughter of the terrorist who blew up an important government building, killing dozens of people, including herself. Daily, Kit is berated by strangers who blame her for her mother's actions. Investigators believe that her mother is still alive, and they have threatened to use illegal methods on Kit to extract information about her mother's whereabouts. To add to her problems, Kit's living relatives are deadbeats who are after her property, and her estranged father has shown up to beg for help in repaying a debt to the neighborhood crime boss. Just when it seems that Kit has nothing left to live for, a cute boy named Niles comes into her life and begins to help her sort out her problems. Unfortunately, the many aforementioned conflicts make for a confusing and rushed plot, with no discernible main story line. The protagonist is angry and constantly lashing out at everyone around her. Her contrived romance with Niles adds little to a story already overrun with excess subplots. There is minimal science in this science fiction, and no real connection to the previous title, Inherit the Stars. Despite being marketed as a companion novel, Elwood's latest encompasses an entirely new setting and cast of characters, and the tone and content are much darker and mature. VERDICT Readers hoping for a continuation of the lighthearted romance and royal intrigue in the first volume will be disappointed with this messy series closer.—Liz Overberg, Zionsville Community High School, IN
