REVIEW: The Evaporation of Sofi Snow by Mary Weber

About the Book

Ever since the Delonese ice-planet arrived eleven years ago, Sofi's dreams have been vivid. Alien. In a system where Earth's corporations rule in place of governments and the humanoid race orbiting the moon are allies, her only constant has been her younger brother, Shilo. As an online gamer, Sofi battles behind the scenes of Earth's Fantasy Fighting arena where Shilo is forced to compete in a mix of real and virtual blood sport. But when a bomb takes out a quarter of the arena, Sofi's the only one who believes Shilo survived. She has dreams of him. And she's convinced he's been taken to the ice-planet.

Except no one but ambassadors are allowed there.

For Miguel, Earth's charming young playboy, the games are of a different sort. As Ambassador to the Delonese, his career has been built on trading secrets and seduction. Until the Fantasy Fight's bomb goes off. Now the tables have turned and he's a target for blackmail. The game is simple: Help the blackmailers, or lose more than anyone can fathom, or Earth can afford.











My Review


*Sigh* What to say. I definitely like the Storm Siren trilogy better so far. While I love that Sofi Snow is Science Fiction, human trafficking is dealt with within the story, and Sofi is a Native American character there are things I did not like about this novel. Firstly, the language caught me off guard. While it was mostly mild it is sprinkled throughout the story and there was a use of a pretty vulgar and crass word. Sex is implied and we learn that Sofi, a 17 year old has slept around. It's becoming quite clear that Thomas Nelson has different standards than they did with the previous owners. I'm stuck in the middle here. There was a lot I loved and yet things I did not love. This is not a book I definitively recommend to young YA readers. I think this would have worked better being an Adult novel.
