Description As Books Chameleon Moon (Chameleon Moon #1)
The city of Parole is burning. Like Venice slips into the sea, Parole crumbles into fire. The entire population inside has been quarantined, cut off from the rest of the world, and left to die - directly over the open flame. Eye in the Sky, a deadly and merciless police force ensures no one escapes. Ever. All that’s keeping Parole alive is faith in the midst of horrors and death, trust in the face of desperation… and their fantastic, terrifying, and beautiful superhuman abilities. Regan, stealth and reconnaissance expert with a lizard's scales and snake's eyes, is haunted by ten years of anxiety, trauma and terror, and he’s finally reached his limit. His ability to disappear into thin air isn’t enough: he needs an escape, and he’ll do anything for a chance. Unluckily for him, Hans, a ghostly boy with a chilling smile, knows just the thing to get one. It starts with a little murder. But instead of ending a man’s life, Regan starts a new one of his own. He turns away from that twisted path, and runs into Evelyn, fearless force on stage and sonic-superheroic revolutionary on the streets. Now Regan has a choice - and a chance to not only escape from Parole, but unravel the mystery deep in its burning heart. And most of all, discover the truth about their own entwining pasts. They join forces with Evelyn’s family: the virtuosic but volatile Danae, who breathes life into machines, and her wife Rose, whose compassionate nature and power over healing vines and defensive thorns will both be vital to survive this nightmare. Then there’s Zilch, a cool and level-headed person made of other dead people, and Finn, one of Parole’s few remaining taxi drivers, who causes explosions whenever he feels anything but happy. Separately they’d never survive, much less uncover the secret of Parole’s eternally-burning fire. Together, they have a chance. Unfortunately, Hans isn’t above playing dirty, lying, cheating, manipulating… and holding Regan’s memories hostage until he gets his way. Parole’s a rough place to live. But they’re not dead yet. If they can survive the imminent cataclysmic disaster, they might just stay that way…Mention Books Supposing Chameleon Moon (Chameleon Moon #1)

Review originally posted on bbliophile.wordpress.com Excuse my language, but holy fucking shit. This book. Its so good!!!I started reading this book back in April, and it took me 3 months to finish. Im not exactly sure why, but Im glad that it took me so long. Im happy I got to spend so much time with the characters and in this world, because I had a wonderful time.The characters are, in my opinion, the best part of this book. Theyre all so real, wonderful, and shit, there are literal tears inLove yourself, love the people around you, and never give up. If you need help, reach out. If youre drowning, make some noise. There are people who love you, who will throw you a life preserver. Thats what it all comes down to, love. Thats how were gonna get through this. And we are gonna get through this.Second read edit, 2018. 01. 10: I still adore this book, and everything it stands for. I adore the descriptions, but most of all I adore the characters and the messages. You're not alone, we're
1.5? The faults are mostly/all plot/pacing/character/content, the writing is fine.50% of this book is characters giving emotional counsolling to other characters, mostly by reminding them to breath or saying 'it's going to be okay'The other half is introducing way too many effing characters.Listen. Roanna is super nice, and I have nothing against her, I respect her, I respect her personality and effort. I really, really did not like this book, and it boggles me how universally loved it is.I'm
"What did you think?" asks Goodreads, but I am not sure I can properly put words on how much I adore this book. CHAMELEON MOON is everything I wish dystopian and post-apocalyptic worlds were all the day. I love my settings bleak. I love it when everything went wrong, shit hit the fan big time, and the one question on everyone's mind is "how am I going to make it through?"And I love these because of the intense, selfless acts of compassion people do in ugly times. I love to see GOOD people
Outstanding, so full of loveI've never read a book like this before, and now all I want is more. There's so much - so much love amid pain, hope amid fear, family amid a broken world - and the celebration of all people, everyone, diverse and LGBTQ and all beautiful and strong and vibrant and so deeply human. This is what every book should be like.
Notes on Diversity:SO. MUCH. DIVERSITY.The book follows a tight-knit group of erstwhile superheroes--and most of them are dealing with mental and/or physical disabilities. A number of them are clearly people of color. The main character is a trans woman, and she's basically the best!! There is am interracial queer poly family that is sweet and functional.Diversity is firing on all cylinders here. A toast to that. Review:What if there was a magic cure-all drug that could fix what was wrong with
DNFAcqua: *hates when people say "remember to breathe" and "it's going to be ok" while she has a panic attack*this book: *half of it seems to be people having panic attacks and reminding each other to breathe and that everything is going to be ok*this... wasn't going to worknext time, someone remind me that if something is described as "hopepunk", it probably means that I need to stay away from it. Here's the thing: I don't care about being told platitudes about everything being ok and humans
