A million thoughts, but only one right thing to do.
Eighteen-year-old Serenity Ashdown has a brilliant mind: she counts, calculates, and analyzes everything, all the time. Awkward. When her father suddenly disappears, Serenity follows his trail to a parallel dimension. The feds on the other side claim to want to help her go home, if she helps them reconstruct the right codes for the portal between worlds. But it’s soon clear they want something more: a gateway for invasion, because this version of Earth is dying.
When Serenity learns that her alter-ego was killed in battle, she assumes “the other Serenity’s” identity and uses her unique abilities to lead the resistance in a mortal fight against the tyrannical super-government that is poised to invade her universe. Serenity has no idea how to be someone she’s not, but she has to try—or she may not have a home to return to.
MY REVIEW
A Measure of Serenity by Bryan Prosek is a YA Science Fiction Serenity was a genius. She is 18 years old and a senior at Harvard. Being the numerical genius in working with numbers landed a job for her in the same place as her dad. But she ended up in a world that wasn't her world but similar.
I really enjoyed this story. The characters were well crafted and the author does a really good job with their development throughout the story. Serenity is someone you can't help but like. Just the way she is with numbers is fascinating. I enjoyed her character and following her through the story. I enjoyed Serenity using her supreme smartness to find answers she was seeking. If you enjoy Sci-Fi and fantasy type books this is one you will want to check out. I think this is one you will like.
I received a copy of this book from the author and iReadBook Tours to review. I was in no way influenced to write a positive review. Every word in this review is my opinion only.
Bryan Prosek is a science fiction writer and business attorney. Along with his debut The Brighter the Stars and the forthcoming A Measure of Serenity, he has published books and articles in legal trade journals and magazines. When he isn’t writing or practicing law, you can probably find him watching science fiction movies or television shows. He loves the big screen and the small screen. There’s a good chance that he’ll be watching one of the numerous Star Trek movies or series, but he could be watching anything from Guardians of the Galaxy to The Conjuring.
