A
grounded and utterly resonant novel, Sky Curse: The Chosen Five by
Janet Kravetz follows Cecilia Miller, a coder of artificial dreams in her
relentless quest to be the hope of humanity in an apocalyptic age. The
repercussions of climate change and overpopulation are felt heavily in the year
2045. The population is at twenty-five billion and the Earth is fast wearing
out. While the Universalists consider migration to a new planet, the localists,
those with little or no influence of AI struggle to survive. Humanity’s hope
might be in technology and Cecilia is determined to be the one to save the
planet. She has once lost her voice, but can she find it in the rise of the
grim realities of her time?
Janet
Kravetz fuses the tragedy of a decaying world with stellar storytelling to
force readers to contemplate a future that could be theirs if they fail to take
care of our world. She writes themes that are resonant and crafts a tale that
will have contemporary readers thinking about how their actions affect the
environment. The characters are relatable and real, and the author’s ability to
vividly explore the psyche of the characters shines through the narrative. In
turn troubling and exciting, The Chosen Five is more than a dystopian
narrative. It is the tale of humanity, bold in its exploration of existential
conflicts and deft in its execution of relatable themes and believable
characters. Fans of science fiction and fantasy will gulp this down quickly and
then think about the warnings embedded in the tale. Sky Curse: The
Chosen Five is a fascinating opening for a series that should not just
be read but discussed.
