First of all thank you NetGalley and Vulcan Ink Media for the e arc i received in exchange for an honest review. 
Where do I begin? Maybe with my confusion. Because this book definitely confused me. To me the world was confusing. In some ways it was like ours is today but then there were elements that were not like our world today. But to me, those elements weren't explained enough, the author didn't go into enough detail. 
Also the whole skyboarding thing confused me. Why call it skyboard when it was nothing but a snowboard with an engine? I don't know a lot about skiing or snowboarding so a lot of the terms used to describe the sport, where new to me and i did not know what was meant by a lot of them.
Also the characters. How old were they? The synopsis stated that Kira was 16 in the book she was "four and ten" which to me sounded like 14? 
Speaking of Kira, i did not like her, or i didn't get warm with her. She was not the strong female lead i was hoping for, more a child trying to save the world (or actually her friends). Which was way to easy. Not a lot went wrong, which made the story unrealistic. Kira also acted like a child a lot of the time, which to me, 16 year olds, don't do any more, a least not to that extent. 
The other characters had depth, even though all of Kira's friends were just as childish. I liked the way friends count just as much as family in this book and how the relationship between Trace an Kira developed.
The writing though, was fast paced and good. I enjoyed reading, not so much because of the story, but because the writing made me want to read.
The plot was exciting but very foreseeable. 
All in all i didn't really enjoy this book, but would recommend it for younger readers (maybe 12 to 14 year olds?). Especially one who enjoy sports, because there was a lot of that in this book.
