I liked your description and analysis of the book. I can see how science fiction can reflect true life situations and history. It was helpful to see the summary of the five nations and their relationships with each other.inaramid wrote: ↑14 Nov 2018, 04:09 They say science fiction holds a mirror to reality, a reflection embellished by scientific and technological elements perhaps but a reflection nonetheless. Apex Five is no exception. The displacement of the Lirians, for instance, harkens back to the Jewish diaspora. The self-immolation of the Garo freedom fighters brings to mind news flashes of terrorists and suicide bombers. Tabira’s attempt to colonize Ayam is almost like a walk down memory lane, replete with images of the conquerors and the conquered of ages past. Ethnic cleansing, biological warfare, and political strife mar the pages of the Plane’s history just as much as they do our own.

is a sci-fi novel that takes place on an alternate plane of reality as I understand it, from the brief history of the "world" if I may call it in the prologue, then you immediately jump 12,00 years into the future which had some startling differences that we learn is caused by the disaster called the storm.
I found this book to be a surprisingly good way to get the picture of a sci-fi novel across that someone like me who isn't the biggest sci-fi fan could enjoy, the language used in the novel was just my niche of writing. I will say that I personally disagree with training kids or war or just altering their life in what they want to do in life but, if you can look past that then you realize the exquisite form of writing in my opinion.
I feel the book is a 6 out of 10 but that only because there are a few parts that I don't personally agree with like making kids train for war but the literature is great none to very few lines that you have to re-read for clarification
