And indeed, their world is very set, having existed under a dome for several generations after a world calamity made the surface unlivable. As a coal miner, next to the lowest of the low in this structured society, she is shunned in most public places above ground and people of her status rarely marry outside of their class. Set under a large dome somewhere in Wales, UK over what once was a large coal deposit, Wren MacAvoy struggles to fit in, to make her grandfather proud, and to unravel the hidden reasons for a friend’s death. Ashes of Twilight captures that same feel, but without being a duplicate of this classic. There were many things I liked about them, including the characters’ needs to live beyond their assigned roles and years. I grew up with Logan’s Run, first the movie and then the series. Who I Recommend This To: If you are a fan of Logan’s Run and YA, then this book has a lot for you. Where I Got It: From the publisher via Audiobook Jukebox (thanks!) Why I Read It: I like reading about confined folks who got issues, whether it’s in space or under a dome on ruined Earth.
