Review:
Two young men from contrasting backgrounds, the first, Guy Erma, an aspiring dome guard and the second, Teodor the heir to the throne of Freyne live in very different circles. Yet, they will soon discover that their paths will cross and they will need each other to stay alive. The Prince and the Pauper meet up in a parallel universe of high fashion, giant cats and cy-sects. (and a really cute alien girl!)
This intriguing sci-fi novel by Sally Ann Melia is my first real forage into the young adult sci-fi genre. The story was incredibly detailed, the characters well-developed and the story line nail-biting exciting!
What I really liked in this first part of the Guy Erma trilogy were the illustrations of some of the main characters as well as a small drawing of the Dome itself. I look forward to part 2 of this trilogy – Hunter!
