The Roar by Emma Clayton

I loved this book because it is an action-packed interesting sci-fi (and I am NOT a typical fan of sci-fi) with each turn, something will happen, resulting in me sitting on the edge of my seat. This book has well-developed characters that are painfully relatable, each sharing a flaw every human can identify with; fear, anger, pain, misunderstanding, and-- greed. The author uses sharp vocabulary in the book, thus the book is full of wit and twists in the plot. The Roar is truly a timeless book, it can emphasize issues we are facing these days, and will always face, such as pollution, scams, and growing hunger for power. This book is about seeing the real world-- not the things you think you see. Witty, gripping, and heart wrenching, it is a true masterpiece. Mika Smith is a misfit living in a broken world with special abilities; when he was young, he had his twin sister, Ellie taken away from him, everybody thought she was dead, and only Mika thought she was alive. Resulting in Mika on the search to find his long lost sister. A dangerous path, a war, and a big secret; Mika will discover many secrets, and find his sister, only to a big race against power-hungry leaders---- and time. A truly wondrous book; those looking for adventure, look now, or those who seek thrill and excitement, your quest for thrills has been complete, The Roar is everything you’ve always thought a good book could be. I fully suggest this book to those that appreciate a nice lengthy novel with a cliffhanger at where you least expect it. Darn it, why’d the cliffhanger have to be THERE?! If I could, I would rate this book 5/5 stars, excellently written; unique, thrilling, and a pure joy to read.--Review by Mingyue X.
