ABOUT THE BOOK
For fans of Ender’s Game and Blade Runner comes a story of video gaming, blood, and power.
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.
From the award-winning author of the Storm Siren Trilogy, step into a diverse cast of characters spanning from the electric metropolises of earth to the chilling alien planet above, in a story of re-finding yourself in the midst of losing the one thing you love. Before it all evaporates.
MY REVIEW
Another epic story from Mary Weber, The Evaporation of Sofi Snow is a sci-fi adventure right from the start. With an interesting and diverse cast of characters and plenty of twists and turns, the story unfolds with addicting drama, action, and suspense—I flew through the pages of this book as fast as I could (and that cliffhanger didn’t help!). And within the science-fiction setting, Weber adds elements of real-world issues and relevant themes. All in all, The Evaporation of Sofi Snow is an excellent read—I recommend it to fans of science fiction (and of Mary Weber’s books) and cannot wait to see where this series goes next.
★★★★
Thanks to BookLook Bloggers, I received a complimentary copy of The Evaporation of Sofi Snow and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
Seeing this book in other blog stops and makes me all the more intrigued by it, that and its description and review. Also interested in reading the Siren series.
