OLDER FICTION
Young, Moira

Raging Star

(4) YA Dustlands Trilogy series. The concluding volume to Young's post-apocalyptic series (think Hunger Games meets Chaos Walking) finds protagonist Saba torn among competing loyalties as she struggles to defeat charismatic villain DeMalo. While some of the particulars are contrived here, the series' general strengths--the unpolished, folksy narrative voice and thematic celebration of the ability of human bonds to overcome corrupt systems--shine through.
