The Surviving Sky is a debut that spins a yarn about a boy and a girl, deep from the author's vivid and lush imagination. The characters eventually warp the plot to fit their romantic struggles.
The science, though wondrous, is quite fluid and feels really intuitive. Even though it's fiction, the writing style is very good, and the immersive telling of the villain is atmospheric.
Science and technology are progressing at a rapid pace, and the role of science fiction literature in charting a course and helping to imagine future technology will always hold true.
