Definitely a very unique premise - love the concept of the earth crumbling and then strong willed siblings and others working together to build a new life on a new planet. Although not a fan of science fiction, I added to my want to read shelf.

The balance between the future and past sounds quite interesting. It’s unfortunate about the many editing errors in an otherwise imaginative storyline.

Thank you for your detailed review. I like the survival part of the story I am certain that it is appealing. Also, the fact that technology is used in planet Terra don't make the book odd. Though you encounter some little problem with with the missing part and disjoining. I am glad the distator were not able to affect the flow of the book. Congratulations.

I don't like dystopian novels, too depressing. So I think I'll on this one.

The storyline sounds absolutely creative. To be able to come up with a concept of transcending beyond the boundaries of earth to another planet for the purpose of saving human race is truly commendable. Good luck to the writer!

Sounds like a really interesting concept, but I think I would find the errors you pointed out to be distracting. Perhaps another edit or rewrite by the author would fix these things.

Unfortunately, this kind of science fiction that involves environmental catastrophes is not for me. I find it too close to reality and a little nerve wrecking.
Hopefully, it´ll get a better editing for fans of this genre. Although I´m afraid that plot and character flaws that seem unrealistic might not be fixed with editing.

I feel the same way, but thank you for the review. I don't enjoy this genre but I appreciate a thoughtful review.

Enjoyable review. Too bad about the errors though. The book sounds engaging, I wouldn't mind delving into it.

I love the futuristic "start-of-a-new-civilisation" type of story. I can't wait to read this book. Thank you for the review.

He claims that textual evidence indicates that Erra should be thought of as a god of famine rather than pestilence.

I love books such as this one. This should open up our eyes to see how valuable our planet earth is. We must not take it for granted but should strive to protect it at all costs. Lovely review.

I feel like I have read this book before, it seems like an idea that has been explored many times. It seems as if there are some interesting concepts though that are unique. It is unfortunate about the errors.
