It also helped that I’m a sucker for stories that use setting as character and fictionalised Martha’s Vineyard was a rich background to juxtapose an outlandish story. The characters were great – not outlandish or standout just real and genuine enough to make their bravery and daring deeds under extreme circumstance even more impressive. I’d normally hate a book with so little resolution/explanation but there was just something about the well-written and smartly paced story that still made it rewarding. In honesty I still have no real idea of what the heck is going on and neither do our heroes. By the end of the book I maybe, MAYBE had the corner pieces. Now, this is kind of the norm only instead of having your edges done by the middle of the book and the complete picture by the end, SYLO just continues to dump pieces onto the pile. Book one dumps all of the pieces out on the floor in a jumbled pile you have no idea where to start. SYLO is a complicated, high-concept jigsaw puzzle. Loved the journey but not the destination Look to the sky because Pemberwick is only the first stop. Only Tucker holds the clues that can solve this deadly mystery. He tasted the Ruby - and experienced the powers it gave him - for himself. He saw the bizarre midnight explosion over the ocean, and the mysterious singing aircraft that travel like shadows through the night sky. He was on the sidelines when the high school running back dropped dead with no warning. Tucker believes there’s more to SYLO’s story. Now Pemberwick is cut off from the outside world.

Read my review of the second book in this series, Storm.The ultimate action-fueled end-of-the-world conspiracy trilogy from number-one New York Times best-selling author D. Read my review of the first book in this series, SYLO. I did not understand at all how come the butterfly effect didn't happen, or really anything about timelines in general. The author did not give any information about how the 21st century played out afterwards. However, the timeline stuff was super confusing and hard to interpret. There were also funny ironies that you don't realize until the end. I also liked the change in Captain Granger. The author did an amazing job hiding that. That was cool, and it makes sense with events before. I did not think about the future, and that did not occur to me at all. This plan guarantees the Sounders' death- but this is their last chance to save the world. Their goal is to get help from SYLO to secure the dome on the outside while the Sounders set off a nuclear bomb inside to destroy the "Bridge", a link between the past and the future. With this mind-blowing realization in mind, their only way of survival is to team up with the Sounders, also from that time who don't believe in mass genocide. They want to wipe out the 21st century to move in, since the future Earth is nearly destroyed. They sneak in the dome and learn that the air force is from the future of 2324. When Tucker and his friends are taken prisoner of the air force, they see the opportunity to get some answers. Strike is the third book in the YA dystopian series The SYLO Chronicles.
