About the book:
In a society where the color of a person’s palm determines their social class, Bruno goes from favored to fugitive when he kills a Royal Guard to save a boy’s life. If he wants to survive, Bruno has to learn to accept the lower colors. A thrilling blend of fantasy and adventure perfect for readers everywhere.
About the author:
RC (Really Cool) Hancock began his writing career with a story about a dead cat which his second grade teacher thought was brilliant. Convincing others of his literary genius has taken longer than expected, but along the road he has acquired a lovely wife, four entertaining ankle-biters (who, thankfully, look more like their mother), and a degree from BYU in Recreational Management & Youth Leadership (which means he’s really good at having fun.) An Uncommon Blue is his first novel.
My Review:
From High School I remember the different groups and cliques. As an adult I know what impact your class has on your life. This book combined the two and made for a fast past thriller that had me reading late into the night. The chase to remain alive was important, but so was the underlying theme of class. It was interesting to read how the author used fire to separate classes. I also liked that something so simple as a handshake could have such an impact on Bruno's life. The ending was what I expected, and I can not wait to read more of this series. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy from Cedar Fort Publishing, however all opinions are my own.
Thanks for the great review! I'll let you know when #2 is out. :)
