There was so much creativity woven into the storyline. More than once I was pleasantly surprised with clever twists to what I thought had been going on with the characters up until the moment the narrator decided to share an offhand comment that completely shifted my understanding of certain moments. I truly enjoyed the process of learning what was really happening to Linnea and her companions as I moved closer and closer to the truth about their destinies.

It would have been nice to have a few more details about the crisis that caused the main character to be orphaned early in life. The narrator spent so much time talking about her life after that point that I sure would have liked to have at least a basic understanding of what happened to make it possible for a child to be left completely on her own at such a young age. While I understood that she wouldn’t remember all or even most of the details, finding out at least a little bit about it in some way other than through her hazy memories would have lead me to give this book a higher rating than I already did.

The ending sent a chill down my spine. It fit the tone of this story perfectly, especially when it came to what I expected to happen to Linnea once she’d been living on her own for a while and began running out of critical supplies. I also appreciated the fact that this section finally reveal a few key pieces of the plot that had only been vaguely hinted at earlier on. Having that information made me feel satisfied by how everything was wrapped up in the end.

No Flight Without the Shatter kept me on my toes from the first scene to the last one. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys science fiction that’s set in the not-too-distant future.
