Description

Emery is a Less Than, raised behind a wall and under a roof that rarely opens, in a system that grooms some to be lowly and some to be Elite. When she is offered an assignment to take care of the Old Ones, she glimpses a world beyond the restricted one she has known.

This book is amazing, you will not be able to put it down. I will be passing this book a long to my daughter to read, if she enjoys it. I will recommend it to my students

A dystopian story with impactful themes.

Some parts of the worldbuilding I found a bit overused considering the genre, and the writing style was a bit more telling rather than showing, but overall, the themes and characters were distinct. I'd feel comfortable recommending this to middle-grade readers ages 10-12 because of the simplistic writing style.

Thank you to Nimbus Publishing for this arc for a free and honest review!

I loved and enjoyed reading Skyward, being Less Than is a feeling relatable to many and the story of Emery by Susan White is an extremely compelling tale.
