Representaion As Books The Sky Village (Kaimira #1)
From a village made of hot-air balloons to a subterranean battle arena, two young people struggle to discover who and what they are — and how to use the astonishing powers they share.High over China, twelve-year-old Mei arrives at the Sky Village, an intricate web of hot-air balloons floating above an Earth where animals battle machines for control. Deep below the ruins of Las Vegas, thirteen-year-old Rom enters a shadowy world where he is commandeered to fight, gladiator-style, against hybrid demons for the entertainment of a mercenary crowd. Mei and Rom have never met, but they share a common journal — a book that allows them to communicate with each other and reveals that they carry the strange and frightening Kaimira gene, entwining aspects of human, beast, and machine within their very DNA. In this thrilling, intricately plotted novel, Mei and Rom must find the courage to balance the powers that lurk within — and overcome outside forces that seek to destroy them — if they are to survive and save the ones they love.

Not my favorite book of all time. I borrowed it from another library to see if I should purchase it for our library. I've decided not to. There were exciting elements & intriguing ideas, but the 2 main characters lived on oposite sides of the planet & their connection felt artificial. Also, particularly at the end of the story during the climax, I felt like the story wasn't being told completely. All in all, it was a so-so book. Didn't hate it, but definately didn't love it either.Good book with an interesting story principal. I must admit I skimmed a bit, but I am looking forward to the sequel.
This book is technically sci-fi, I guess, but it feels like fantasy."The Sky Village" has an intricately woven plot set in an intricately woven world full of rampant beasts and meks, basically animals and renegade robots, in a war-torn world as the humans, beasts, and meks all fight for control. The two main characters are connected only through the Tree Book, which they use to write to each other. They haven't actually met. One lives in the Sky Village, an airborne tangle of hot air balloons
Steampunk for the younguns! In an alternate reality, machines and animals rose up and began fighting the humans. Nobody really won, there was simply an odd sort of cease-fire, and the war continues in border disputes and other encroachments. Science is now forbidden because it was what started the war.The first book starts off with Mia and Rom. Mia's father sends her to live in a hot-air balloon village while he sets off to rescue her mother from the mechs, while Rom seeks a way to free his
Good story. I don't know if I would read a sequel, but I enjoyed it.
It was hard to finish this book but I made it! For something written like a pre-teen novel, it tries to be too sophisticated in premise and ideas. I have seen the local publisher's promotional material but it doesn't excite me as much as the new Brian Faulkner, sorry. I'm not really all that eager to read the remaining books of the trilogy.
Love it đŸ’“
