Dove Chronicles series.
The trilogy concludes as Phaet searches for allies to help overthrow the Moon's Lunar Standing Committee before it costs her her humanity and everyone she loves. Action sequences are frequently interrupted by internal dialogue that slows the pace and dulls any sense of danger, but Phaet's struggle not to lose herself will draw readers in.

YA
Phaet (Dove Arising) is a Lunar fugitive after her daring escape to Earth with fellow Militia officer, Wes. Phaet's two worlds violently collide on the island colony of Saint Oda, and she returns to the Lunar bases determined to rescue her brother and stand as a champion for a new republic. A tepid romance distracts from the book's more exciting dystopian and sci-fi elements.

YA
Dove Chronicles series.
The youngest recruit in the Militia, Phaet Theta sacrifices her entire future to save her family from ruin. Nothing can prepare Phaet (and readers) for the savagery and pain she must confront in order to survive, but she's a compelling character and readers will stay engaged in her journey. The matter-of-fact consideration of cultural diversity within the narrative is admirable.
