I recieved a free copy of the ebook Scion of Conquered Earth to review.
Scion of Conquered Earth is a young adult science fiction novel, it's the first book in the Scion series. I usually like science fiction, but this book was just really, really boring. It starts of with the main character, a teen with amnesia, running away from... cannibalistic aerobics instructors. And it only goes downhill from there. The characters are flat and two-dimensional. There's no character development at all, no growth. The main character is whiny and immature, which is a hell of an accomplishment for someone who is supposed to be fending for himself in a post apocolyptic wasteland where everyone and everything wants to kill him. Most people would grow up at least a little in those circumstances, but the main character managaes to remain a petulant child throughout the book. The story drags on slowly and never successfully draws readers in. Hopefully the story picks up in the next book.
