The Silver Six

The Silver Six

By AJ Lieberman and Darren Rawlings

The Silver Six stars Phoebe, a girl who's parents were assassinated by an energy tycoon, and now must survive in the dystopian system that has been erected. When she is caught by child services, she is detained. There, she meets 5 other kids who's parents were assassinated by the same people, and thus they must band together to finish their parent's work and take down the tycoon, all while being pursued by its chief henchman. Did I mention this is a sifi dystopia?

This book's plot is very flimsy. It relies on a lot of coincidences and chance meetings, and also expects that a group of twelve-year-olds has enough experiences in robotics and driving to defeat a giant tycoon that only ever sends one person after them. The art is decent. The Characters are simplistic and bland. The backgrounds are very pretty, save for the industrial which is also generic future. The characters have way too much knowledge to seem realistic, and seem to have very flimsy and changing motivations, as well as a tendency to flip-flop between different emotions without a clear reason as to why. The Setting is generic, the plot is meh, and the characters aren't that strong.

TL;DR: 5/10
