Riassunto

Phaet Theta fled the Moon and has been hiding on Earth with her friend Wes and his family. But Phaet's past catches up with her when the Lunar Bases attack the community and reveal that Phaet is a fugitive. She's torn between staying on Earth with Wes-whom she's just discovered her feelings for-and stowing away on a Moon-bound ship to rescue her siblings from the wrath of the government who killed their mother. But when Phaet makes the agonizing decision to return to the Moon, she finds the rebel movement there has turned her into their "Girl Sage," a symbol of their struggle. She's the biggest celebrity on the Moon: half the people worship her, and the other half want her dead.

Recensione

Reviews for Dove Exiled:

“Phaet is an engaging character, with whom the readers should readily identify.”—VOYA

Raves for the Dove Chronicles:

“Karen Bao is an incredibly talented young writer. Beautiful prose and one of the most interesting main characters I've read. Dove Arising marks the debut of a promising new talent. I loved the story, and I can't wait to read more!” —Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of Eragon

“Newcomer Bao’s off-world setting and world-building details are intriguing.”—Publishers Weekly
 
"Characters are well developed, especially strong-willed Phaet, and an even pace will keep teens turning pages. Fans of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, Veronica Roth’s Divergent and Marie Lu’s Legend should flock to this well-written debut effort by 19-year-old Bao." —School Library Journal

"Until just recently, the number of formidable young adult authors who got published before they were out of their teens was extremely small: Christopher Paolini and Isamu Fukui. Well, it is time to make room for a third name in this elite list: Karen Bao." —VOYA

“The 20-year-old Bao writes a brilliant new YA heroine in a world of true science fiction.” —Bustle.com
 
“Phaet is a compelling, ‘do what needs doing’ kind of girl, and her desperation to succeed and secure her family’s future is palpable...Revelations at the end pave the way for a sequel.”—Booklist.com
 
“Fans of The 5th Wave, Divergent, and Legend will love this smart, futuristic thriller.” —Justine
