Plummet into a kill-or-be-killed competition where a scrappy underdog hell-bent on revenge must claw his way to the top in this thrilling YA fantasy debut When Cassiel’s manipulated into a perilous mission, she encounters a warrior species bred to protect the universe from an even greater threat. And she learns that her secret visions are at the heart of it all.

Young's interest in astrophysics really came out in Sky's End. She didn't shy away from trying to explain some of the more scientific concepts, which I appreciated. I don't know if they are right, but I definitely give her credit for the attempt! It was refreshing to see not only a sci-fi, space travel story, but a story that wove in elements of time and bending time as well. I think many will like the freedom that being without a dish and more importantly the fixed cables & the main user base will switch In a four-star review on London Theatre, our critic said"You'd need a heart of stone not to be moved by this generous portrait of humanity: a true homegrown triumph." Cassiel Winters' brother Daz disappeared during a military mission in space, so Cassiel joins the Academy to try to find out what happened to her brother. There is other immaturity. The 'alien sociologist' doctor is named Dr. Xeno (get it?), the love interest and hottest guy in school is named King, and the instructor is Lt. Lazarus. The students have generic, very Americanized names like Todd Meyers or Daria Preston. You get the idea. It's high school in space (even though the protagonist is supposed to be 21).

On 15 February 2020, Ofcom introduced a requirement for broadband, mobile, home phone and pay-TV companies to notify their residential and business customers when their minimum contract period is coming to an end. Overall, despite finishing the book, the only reason I want people to read it is to see if maybe I overreacted, I want to know how other’s reacted to this book. I found it highly problematic which was such a let down considering the wonderful set up it had. Sometimes you can tell a book is going to be problematic right from the synopsis, and you still read it and hope you’re wrong. This time, the book felt like one I would automatically like, and it wasn’t until I read it that I discovered all the issues I had with it. Because of that, I still love the idea of what this book could have been, if it were rewritten/reworked, I would be willing to give it another try.

One last random issue--what is going on with the cover? Does anyone else notice how awkward this girl's body looks? I mean, it fits in with the content of the novel, but where'd her arm go?! In addition, I hate how despite everything she sees to prove that she might not have been given accurate information and despite all the times she realizes that things were purposefully kept from her, she still clings to all those half-truths and lies even though she has evidence to the contrary, even though she has lived something different from that. (Side note: I apologize for being so vague, I’m trying to stay away from Spoilers, but I highly encourage you to read the book and come talk to me about it!). This book is... difficult to rate. It has a lot of things in its favour, but then it also has a lot of things against it.The plot and action really just made this book for me. My heart was constantly racing, and I just wanted to know what would happen next. I enjoyed how the story unfolded, and there were several plot twists that I didn't really expect, and I look for the plot twists, so that's saying something. Sky does not consider that its standalone pay-TV services fall within the definition of an electronic communications service and maintains it is not required to comply with GC 1.10 for such services. Truly, Cassiel spends most of the time thinking about sex or how sexy someone is (and nearly all the characters are sex toys - her harem). With her fellow cadets, with the aliens...really, with anything that moves. She even dismisses characters by whether they are attractive or not for sex. So most of the book is discussions by characters and her thinking about how sexy they are at that particular moment. As such, I would put this is the romance category and not really anywhere near sci fi. And even then, I don't know how much romance there really is here since it is all about sex and not relationships. But that's just a tease because there is no graphic sex in there. First comment: I hate the title. This book is much too bad-ass for such a lame-ass title. Seriously. "Sky's End" sounds too sappy.

The good about this book is the uniqueness of the plot. I can’t talk too much about it without major spoilers, but I like the plot. It’s interesting and it’s different. I enjoyed the Thell’eon’s (especially their leader, Prime Or’ic). I love the fact that she is doing all of this to find her brother and bring him home. It’s nice to see her loyalty and love for her family. It’s not something we see a lot in young adult fiction anymore, most protagonists tend to be orphans nowadays, or have bad relationships with their parents. Cassiel is very determined and one of my favorite things about her character is that she is not good at everything. Thank you Marc J Gregson, NetGalley and Peachtree Teen, for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review! All thoughts are my own and left voluntarily. For Sky Broadband and Talk products, the final amount is rounded up to the nearest 25p. How are early termination charges calculated? Set over sixty years at Sheffield's Park Hill estate, the musical weaves together the lives of three families living in the same flat across different decades. In the 1960s, Rose and Harry seek the life promised by Park Hill's post-war social housing. In the 1980s, Joy, a Liberian refugee, finds a home in the North of England, and in the 2010s, Poppy strives to build a new life in the North, leaving her past in London behind.

Cassiel Winters is one of few women training to be a part of the ESE (Earth Space Exploration), an agency dedicated to space travel, discovery, and protection of Earth. After failing her combat test for the first time, Cassiel is about to get a second chance. However, she didn’t join the ESE and move up to space to live in a space station for nothing. Cassiel’s brother has gone missing on a secret mission for the ESE, and she is determined to find out what happened to him. But she also has a secret; she has episodes called deju vu, where she has visions of things that have happened and things that are soon to happen. Nobody can know about her talent, or who knows what they’d do to her. By failing to send end-of-contract notifications to its pay TV customers, Sky has contravened, and continues to contravene, C1.21 to C1.29 of the General Conditions (and their predecessor obligations at C1.10 to C1.15 of the General Conditions) from at least 26 March 2020. Ofcom has therefore issued a Confirmation Decision to Sky under section 96C of the Communications Act 2003. I'm sorry, I suppose this was meant as romantic? It just made me start laughing uncontrollably. As did: The West End premiere of the new British musical Standing at the Sky's Edge has set its initial casting, with performances beginning at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on 8 February 2024.
