![]() ![]() While a great novel to kick up discussion on many issues around these topics, it verged on unpalatable. I was also put off with the amount of violence and abuse of human rights. I cringed at the self-congratulation of many of the characters, as I did to the continual ramming down our throats of religious belief, this was so prominent in the second novel I ended up with a stress headache. You do get a very real sense of the isolation and insignificant-ness of being a tiny speck of dust – a spaceship – floating in space. While there is certainly a lot packed into these novels – and not for the faint of heart – I did find the religious aspect somewhat preachy. It then further delves into beliefs, violence, vilification, and politics in a fight for survival. ![]() It has a heavy religious aspect to it as two ships travelling to colonise a new planet each have a focus: one on faith, and the other on science and technology. This trilogy is a bit like ‘ Lord of the Flies’ in space. But ‘ Flame’ ended the trilogy in brilliant fashion and is definitely my favourite of the whole collection. Though, my OCD finally kicked in and I needed to complete the trilogy, however ‘ Spark’ was underwhelming and my hopes began to sink. I was kinda liking the debut, ‘ Glow’ and then didn’t bother continuing with the series for close to two years because it failed to make an impression on me. Not my favourite trilogy, but a great ending. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When Ellison's college advisor told her that her writing wasn't good enough to be published, Ellison changed her plan to get a Master's of Fine Arts and, instead, went into politics.
