REVIEW: The Limitless Sky

 The Limitless Sky
Author: Christina Kilbourne

This story is set 500 years in the future. Far in the past, the climate/environmental crisis reached its peak. Some of humanity stayed on the planet surface in the natural world.....and others retreated into ArHK, a contained environment that could protect them. 

This story is told from two points of view. One is Gage -- a descendant of those who stayed in the natural world. And Rook, who lives in ArHK with her parents. Their lives are so totally different, but they need to work together to help save humanity. 

It's a story line that has been done before in YA -- many times. But....I love how Kilbourne crafted this story. Gage and Rook interact through messaging. One story line in first person. The other in third person. Normally, I would find that switching back and forth to be annoying. But....Kilbourne pulls it off. This story is definitely Young Adult fiction. The main characters are teenagers. So the realism of their situation is a bit muted to be age appropriate, but the story is excellent! 

This would make an excellent short television series or movie. I'd watch it!
