In Trenton’s world you take the job that you are assigned at
graduation and that’s what you will do for the rest of your life.
Trenton’s dream is to work the mechanics, because he can’t stop himself
from working with machinery. Instead, he is called to work in food
production? What?! Someone has sabotaged Trenton’s dreams. Is it
because he was caught inventing, something that is outlawed in his underground
world? Is it because he was seen with Kallista, the mysterious girl who
lives hidden behind the walls of Cove?
Too much action to describe in one short review. I
like Trenton and Kallista very much. Even though their current
life-threatening situation was resolved, their whole civilization is left in a
cliff-hanger, so I am assuming there are more books to come. I love
steampunk, personally, and Savage writes a great adventure. And as the
cover promises, there are dragons involved!
EL - OPTIONAL (it’s a lot of book); MS - ADVISABLE.
