Review: Flashfall

Flashfall by Jenny Moyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Orion and Dram, miners who bring in the most of the element needed by the city are in constant danger. Danger from the environment, and the government. Of course there is a conspiracy going on here--it is a dystopian, after all. But I liked this one. It's just different enough and scary enough (cave-ins, scary bugs that eat you, venomous bats, and radiation) to keep me interested. I think the danger element, and the non-stop pacing, will draw quite a few of my students' interest. It's a duology, but this one ends well enough that if you didn't want to read the next one you would be satisfied.
