Description
'Sky On Fire' is a contemporary fantasy, a coming-of-age novel set on the Gold Coast, Australia. It asks, 'What, if anything, does a child owe to an abusive parent?' Filled with questions with no easy answers and a protagonist reviewers love to hate, 'Sky On Fire' brings deep humanity to a story about mutants.
The end of the world couldn't have come at a worse time for Dante.
He was finally about to graduate high school, escape the misery that was his home life, and take off to travel the world with his awesome girlfriend, Kamiko.
Solar flares and turning into a mutant put an end to all that.
Typical of his luck, he'd gotten a non-standard mutation, meaning he'd never be accepted into the Big Four clans - who were banding together to stave off impending doom.
What's more, he's sole carer for his human mother, and she hates mutants. At least he still has the newly-mutated Kamiko at his side.But she wants to migrate north with all the other mutants, and Dante can't blame her. Every day they stay put is a day their lives are at risk - from gangs, from normies, and even the government.
And then there's Bev, his narcissistic, abusive mother. She's an awful parent, but she's also the only family he's ever known. And despite everything she's put him through, she's never abandoned him. Could he really abandon her?

This was a very refreshing read!!!
There was romance, but it was a very supportive and encouraging relationship.
The mutations and the handling of the solar flares and sci-fi were interesting and different enough that I was intrigued, I would definitely read a sequel if this book ever gets one!
And...I won't spoil anything but this is one of the few books that I've read where I was like "CAN XYZ JUST DIE ALREADY?!?!" I have rarely, if ever, rooted for a character to die. Haha
It was overall a quick read, and the most important takeaways from this book for me were 1) good friends are worth the hassle and 2) just because someone is family doesn't mean that you should feel like you owe them
I will mention that if family dysfunction, abuse (physical and emotional), and emotional blackmail are triggers for you, READ WITH CAUTION. :)
