So, when I'm reading this and I pass the half way point with still nothing very monumental happening other than a lot of talk about wanting to leave, I began to rethink what I had gotten myself into. The blurb as well as the cover clearly makes it sound much more exciting than it is, however. It's your typical dystopian with minor steampunk elements. After the planet was destroyed, humans were forced to take shelter inside a dome where the royals rule, leaving everyone else as mere slaves to insure it all runs properly. Ashes of Twilight is the first book in a trilogy by Kassy Tayler.Īshes of Twilight starts off very strong and quite intriguing when we're taken into this desolate world inside a claustrophobic dome. Wren unwittingly becomes a catalyst for a revolution that destroys the dome and the only way to survive might be to embrace what the entire society has feared their entire existence. "The sky is blue." What happens next is a whirlwind of adventure, romance, conspiracy and the struggle to stay alive in a world where nothing is as it seems. Plus there are those who wonder, is there life outside the dome or is the world still consumed by fire? When one of Wren's friends escapes the confines of the dome, he is burned alive and put on display as a warning to those seeking to disrupt the dome's way of life. But after nearly 200 years of life beneath the dome, society has become complacent and the coal is running out. Humanity would be saved by the most groundbreaking technology of the time.
Wren MacAvoy works as a coal miner for a domed city that was constructed in the mid-nineteenth century to protect the royal blood line of England when astronomers spotted a comet on a collision course with Earth.
