Review: A bit of realism and a bit of fantasy...A whole LOT of action!

This book really pulled me in.  With realistic notions of life after an apocalypse, along with fantasy-like super human abilities, the combination created a non-stop action story line.I loved (most) of the characters, as they were young, but determined, with good hearts and a willingness that few of their age would have.  There is danger lurking, practically from page one.  Mr. Bonilla creates vivid imagery with his detailed descriptions throughout the entire book.  In some cases, I could almost see what he was describing, which is not always an easy task, yet he did very well.There were, of course, characters that were not lovable and a couple who were darker then first believed.I actually mourned the loss of a couple characters near the last few chapters, as they had proven themselves in so many ways and died with honor.I think this read is good for anyone who enjoys books with action, heart-stopping moments, family devotion and young love as well.  In fact, I think if you liked Hunger Games and other dystopian literature than you may very well enjoy Sky of Dust.  I highly recommend this book!
