Picking up right where Alive, the previous volume in this series left off, Alight is a non-stop ride of thrills and chills. All is not well with the Birthday Children on their new planet; threats both without and within threaten to destroy them. Sigler impresses with his ability to make a person care about characters large and small. 
 And Oh My Gosh! That ending. I refuse to say anything here, but I will say I can't wait to read the final volume, Alone, next year.
