Log In to see more information about Amy Kathleen Ryan Log. Zen’s frank narration-full of longing and hard-won insight-draws readers in and won’t let go. She is also the author of two widely acclaimed young adult novels, Zen and Xander Undone and Vibes. Ryan works in both a romance and a divorce, and reverses Kristi’s instinctive satirizing of people who care about her-and does it all with an abundance of wit.” “Events cast doubt on Kristi’s mind-reading skills, but given the author’s solid portraiture, readers will nevertheless want to trust Kristi, even before she learns to trust herself. It all comes to a head in a climax that is tense and viscerally frightening.” “Stakes are high, however, and readers witness graphic (though generally not gory) violence and bodily harm as the three teens work to both overthrow and defend Pastor Anne Mather, the New Horizon’s leader. “The sequel to Glow delivers a page-turning plot while delving deeper into questions of leadership, trauma and violence….Readers hungry for the next installment will have plenty to ponder in the meantime.” This gripping first installment is difficult to put down, and successfully sets the stage for the rest of the series.” The author has also created a unique and vivid outer-space setting that is exciting and easy to imagine. The themes of survival, morality, religion, and power are well developed, and the characters are equally complex. “Ryan has created a fascinating and thrilling story that is sure to captivate teens.
