Although not the best wordsmith, MacHale knows how to tell a gripping story (he was originally a TV writer).
SYLO CHRONICLES SERIES
MacHale's 10-part Pendragon series in high school, and I was curious to see what he was cooking up next. I bought the first book of the SYLO Chronicles at the National Book Festival in 2013. I really enjoyed this book and this series and would definitely be looking forward to reading the author's other series, Pendragon. Readers were in a state of surprise when this happened and because of how much of a plot twist this was, I love it! This author's writing was intriguing and interesting because of the writing he used and the writing made me want to read more. My favorite part is when Tucker steps into the portal and finds Olivia, it was such a shock to the readers because we thought Olivia had been killed off and she was gone for good. Having to fend for themselves and make all of their own decisions made them responsible and grow up faster. I believe the main theme of the book is how the characters grow up from kids to adults in a matter of years. Olivia starts as a snobby teen who is always complaining and ends up as a girl who is not afraid to put a hole in someone's head and able to live in desolate world.
Tucker starts as a normal 14 year old boy and progressed to a kid who is able to live in a country where about only 10,000 people live and he is a kid who is able to lead the pack even in the face of danger. I liked Tucker the best because he was the leader of the group and he always tried to help and look out for his team. This group has had many problems like having a traitor in their group and losing members of their group. I liked the characters because of how funny they were sometimes and how they worked together and escaped from certain situations. Since they know what companies will do well in the future, they invest in them and make billions of dollars and their company name is SYLO! When Tucker goes through a portal he goes back 50 years in time and soon Kent, Olivia and Tucker start a company. Olivia has now joined a club who wants to take down the Retros (the air force). While the attack is going on, Tucker sneaks into a building which turns out to be a portal and that is where Olivia (character from previous book), who is thought to be dead, is found hiding. In prison, they are forced to rebuild humanity (buildings and home) and when they are about to sneak out of the prison, an attack happens and, Tory, his longtime friend gets on a bus to escape but then the bus explodes, killing Tory. This book is about Tucker and his friends trying to figure out an escape while trapped in a SYLO prison. This book is set in different periods of time, some are in the present and some times are in the past. Strike is a science fiction book because there's elements that would not be possible in the real world, like water that can fix broken bones and planes appearing out of thin air.
SYLO CHRONICLES FULL
Strike is full of action packed scenes and war scenes that I think would appeal especially to boys that age range. I would say 9 to 10 year olds would like this book and the series. This author writes the book so that there is a lot of action. This book was a great final book of the trilogy. Strike is a science fiction book because there's elements that would not be possible in the real world, like water that can fix broken bones and planes appearing Strike is the third book in the Sylo series.
Strike is the third book in the Sylo series. I thought it was a good ending to the series.more And the twist at the end was completely unexpected. The action was insane throughout and kept my attention pretty much the entire series. I didn’t overly love any of the MCs and had a love hate relationship with Kent, but I did like them all well enough to worry about them. It took two and a half books to finally get to the big reveal as to what the heck was going on but it was a cool surprise! At one point, it was one of my theories that I had discarded a book ago so when it revealed, I was not expecting it. good job, MacHale! I didn’t overly love any of the MCs and had a love hate relationship with Kent, but I did like them all well enough to worry ab I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this series overall.
