YA sci-fi novel 'Evaporation Of Sofi Snow' gives loads of ideas to ponder on

There's a lot to parse in the setup for The Evaporation Of Sofi Snow, the first book in a new young adult fiction duology from Mary Weber. Fighting teenagers, aliens from outer space, and corporations that aren’t just people, they’re nations! Add to this one mysterious disappearance and one apparent death during a horrific bomb explosion, and you’ve got a pretty dense book.

But at its heart, Sofi Snow is about relationships between siblings, friends and strangers. There’s an awesome story here, albeit one that’s choking on inconsistencies.
