Just a North Carolinian Dad trying to read as much as I can and be with my family. As a kid, I hated reading because I was a horrible test taker. Over the years I've developed a love for reading.

Copper Skin, Oaken Lungs (Copper & Ash, #1)

Copper Skin, Oaken Lungs (Copper & Ash, #1)

Adam Bassett

For a thousand years, The Old Town has stood as humanity’s last bastion against the maalkonis, malignant black mists that reduced the rest of the world to ash. They are kept at bay by rusty machines on the town’s walls. In order to survive, the dwindling population depends on one another. Since a young age, Justīne has embraced the harsh responsibilities that accompanied her apprenticeship on the last farm in existence. Her younger sister, Anna, is beginning her own apprenticeship as well. Learning engineering was not Anna's first choice, but the town's last mage fell to the maalkonis years prior, leaving nothing behind but confusing books and strange runes. When food runs low during a particularly harsh winter, distrust spreads like a plague, and Justīne is blamed for it. As hunger leads to violence, she and her siblings are forced to flee The Old Town, embarking on a perilous journey into the very mists that had formed their cage. Their fight to survive in the dark develops into a hopeful mystery as they follow the breadcrumbs of a mage’s efforts to save the world. Meanwhile something pursues them through the maalkonis…

    Overall, this book is very informative. I learned so much that I wish were taught in schools. But now I know why they weren't taught in school.

    The book is funny, tragic, heartbreaking, and uplifting at times. I enjoyed how Michael told the story. I was a lot more engaging that most history books that I've read in the past. By adding his life to the pages, it pulled you in more. There are a lot of good quotes in the book.

    There were two things that really surprised me. In chapter 11, I saw my hometown in Longview, Texas, show up and was gutted by the brutality that happened. When your hometown shows up it hits different. Then, a few chapters later, Monroe, NC, showed up, which is where I currently live. This one was a little better because it had a badass protecting its citizens from the KKK.

    I think this book should be required reading for all high schools.

    Well that was a short lived high from chapter 11. Chapter 12 - I didn't expect to see my hometown of Longview Texas show up in this book. Again the stuff they don't teach us in school is amazing.

    Chapter 11 was a fun read! I had a lot of fun learning about the women who played a huge part in helping change history in amazing ways. I like that the author also shared a list of other people to do some research on.
