Atherton: River of Fire by Patrick Carman - OPTIONAL


Carman, Patrick Atherton Rivers of Fire, pgs.303 Little Brown and Company. 

Language~PG, Sexual Content~G; Violence~PG; 

MS, HS – OPTIONAL. 

In this sequel to Atherton: The House of Power, Carman resumes the story where he left off. The Highlands is continuing to sink and the Cleaners are coming ever closer to Tabletop. 

This book did not grab me as strongly as the first one did. I felt it dragged in places and was confusing in parts. I would recommend it to any who liked the first Atherton, since this book completes the story. However, I wouldn’t recommend it as a stand alone novel.
