Wake City of Light Book 1 edition by Sherry Rossman Laurin Boyle Children eBooks
I loved this book. I can’t wait to give it to my daughter. The book engaged me right from the beginning. The author has a knack for painting pictures with words with the most refreshing and unique metaphors. Fantastic! I recommend this book to anyone but especially young adults who love fantasy/science fiction. I especially loved the main character Monet. She was so believable—not perfect, had struggles, had to dig deep for courage, and in the end finding her way. So encouraging and a great example to follow. So good to see an author include God in this genre.Product details

REVIEW BY Arianna, age 13 years, 3 months
MAY CONTAIN SPOILER
Fans of books like The Giver will adore and love this book!
Monet lives in a society where everyone takes their daily pill and lives their life with no freedom. They can't express themselves and have to live with unbreakable rules.
At the start of the book I was a little lost and confused. However, as I kept reading I realized how powerful the character emotions were. They were dragged into a situation and had no idea what to do.
Monet Tinman's mom left when she was seven. "They" said her mind was crazy. They aren't telling the whole story. Monet lives in a world in which people must abide by the rules and take their pills. This world explodes for Monet when she and her friend Luke discover an old book. They discover history that was suppressed. History that "they" don't want anyone to know.
This is a great dystopian novel. I love the way art is used in the book to express things that the community does not want expressed. I love Luke. He is a great character. The plot was paced well. Some of the themes are reflected a little too well in the world we live in today. This is a very entertaining
This is the first in a new dystopian series for young adults set in the future fictional city of Titus, where religion and all forms of expressive art have been banned. When Monet’s friend Luke discovers a history book containing pictures of angels – symbols of the ‘cult’ Monet’s mother belonged to before she was taken away for ‘rehabilitation’ – he is compelled to sculpt them from scraps of metal and other bits and pieces he has found. He is convinced that the ruling Triad is not telling them everything, and he plans to create a series of these illegal sculptures to place around the outskirts of the city.
It is a dangerous enough mission in itself, but when a meteor crashes to earth right where one of Luke's sculpted angels points its extended finger, Monet and Luke begin to suspect that there is much more going on than either of them understand. Their suspicions are realised when a strange phenomenon associated with the meteor produces ghostly images that allow them to watch history being replayed before their eyes. The quest for truth begins.
As the Triad closes in on Luke, Monet, and their friends Fox and Rand, they prepare to escape to the Wild Ones – those who live in the woods outside the boundary of Titus – but leaving Titus is forbidden and things don’t go according to plan. Monet is left behind in a city that is slowly fracturing, under the ever-watchful eye of The Triad. Can she awaken the citizens of Titus to the truth and find her way back to her friends before it’s too late?
This was a new-to-me author, and I found that I enjoyed the strong, well-paced writing. I also found the premise of a world where all forms of expressive art have been banned intriguing (although I can’t say I would like to experience it for myself!) although I would have loved it if this book had explored that concept a little more in its world building. For example, what impact would such a stricture have on society, apart from the obvious legal penalties for disobedience? How would it change individuals? In this novel we see the legal ramifications of challenging this law, but I couldn't help feeling that there would have been deeper consequences arising from the absence of expressive art; after all, it is a defining characteristic of our Creator. Nevertheless, this was an engaging read as Monet and Luke struggled to make sense of the events unfolding in Titus.
This is only the first part of Monet's story, so be prepared to be left anticipating the next part of their journey. I will be interested to see where it takes them.
I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the publisher. This has not influenced the content of my review.
Imagine a world where all religion is banned and artistic expression is limited to realism. This is the dystopian world that Ms Rossman takes us to. The ruling triad is not biased regarding religion, none are allowed. Given the growing anti-Christian expressions gaining popularity, the idea of this kind of society is not so far fetched.
Monet and Luke are our hero couple. She is unaware of her potential to lead change. Thus her story is one of coming to understand who she is and how she can be a catalyst for change and renewal in her society. The basics of the plot are familiar to dystopia readers; but the details of the story are fresh and interesting to follow.
My one complaint would be that in the advance reader copy I received, there was no true hint of more to come. Leaving our hero couple about to jump into ?? clearly said that there was more. This is the second book from Ms Rossman that I have read. I continue to be pleased with her stories and heartily recommend them. I would look forward to the future books in this series.
I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
An amazing story that actually means more than a lot of YA books. Really enjoyed it. Well written and a great story line.
I enjoyed reading this book. The action was at a good pace and the wards arranged beautifully. Well written and a great plot!
I was sorry to see it end the way it did. Monet was a wonderful main person but I feel she needed more information.
I loved this book. I can’t wait to give it to my daughter. The book engaged me right from the beginning. The author has a knack for painting pictures with words with the most refreshing and unique metaphors. Fantastic! I recommend this book to anyone but especially young adults who love fantasy/science fiction. I especially loved the main character Monet.

So good to see an author include God in this genre.
