Throne of Glass
It doesnt have to much sci-fi/fantasy to make the plot unbelievable or unrelatable but there is just enough to get the reader wondering and getting lost in the story themselves.
I thoroughly recomend this book and the next two in this series.
One down side is that the next book hasnt even been published yet so I have to hunt for a new book to distract me from everyday life

The main character Alexandria is probably my favorite character ever because of how well the author displays her in the series. She's cocky, sarcastic and makes quick decisions without thinking of the consequences. But, I also admire her vulnerability. She ultimately is the ONE who everyone depends on to pretty much save the world.
Seriously is a MUST READ! There are five books in the series and are all equally full of adventure, hilarity and points where you just want to rip your hair out.

If there are any then you have to squint to see it and it could just be happenstance or imagination. My very liberal English professor assigned us to read this book. The class was a wide range of liberal to conservative to atheist to religious and we universally loved the story. The only reason why you might not like it subject wise is if you don't like middle grade fiction or you don't like outer space fiction. Style wise, it's a pretty simple read, with some allusions and occasionally obvious foreshadowing.ChrisSamsDad wrote:Do his right-wing political views come out in his Sci-fi writing?

It's fantasy, but in the urban city environment. Touch the Dark introduces you to a reluctant heroine that lives in Las Vegas and Karen Chance appears to have nothing but fun when she writes these books. The action scenes can be long winded, but they are fun and sometimes funny. The romance scenes are somewhat graphic, but they are short lived.

Really great book that takes you through the events of a plane crash landing in a very different world than the one it left behind in 2014.

Anyway, back to the story the main focus point of the story, or if i can explain it another way, the "key" to the entire story is FLT travel (Faster than Light Transportation) this Goliath of an invention enables the entire Story to take shape throughout the cosmos.If you decide to read this book you will see that this is made mention in the first couple page's so people quick to shout "spoiler alert" BEGONE i say! it really is a minor detail in the grander scheme yet it is the glue that holds the story together so, judge away But i maintain that i haven't even scratched the surface of what there is to say
Hope you enjoy reading !!
Virgil.
