Review Detail

4.5 Stars!

Fourth World was an interesting futuristic novel set on Mars. It had elements of mystery, dystopia and even time travel!

The year is 2073 and humans have colonized on Mars for some time now. When Isaak, a high school student, and his friends start digging at an archaeology dig, they find something that might change the way they thought about Mars.

I found the plot of Fourth World to be captivating and unique. I loved the dual narration of Isaak and Nadin and to see how different life is on Iamos and Mars. I also liked the characters; Isaak was reasonable and curios, Nadin was strong and determined, and Henry was funny and outspoken. I also liked Tamara and Scylla. Another thing I liked about this book was diversity. Many of the characters were of different descent.

Exciting and filled with adventure, I would recommend fans of sci-fi and time travel to give Fourth World a try!
