I wasn't sure what to expect from Spirits of Glory, this being the first fully science fiction young adult novel I've read. I was pleasantly surprised at just how much I enjoyed the book! The plot was intricate enough to make you really think about the characters and the story as it progressed. I found that attention to detail was very important while reading this book, as every sentence has significance. I really liked the main character Hawkeye (whose real name is Amber), she was a great protagonist. She was such a strong character, without ever needing to "dumb" herself down. Her knowledge was what made her strong and such an essential part of the plot. It was refreshing to see this in a young adult novel, as many other YA books don't emphasize how important it really is to be smart and intellectual and often end up focusing solely on beauty. I was also impressed with how unique the story was, I don't think I have ever read a book remotely close to what this one was about. I will totally recommend this book if you want something fun that will take you completely out of this world!
