I enjoyed so much the intrigue and mysterious journey
This book is a real page turner! I enjoyed so much the intrigue and mysterious journey of these fascinating characters. Set two hundred years in the future it is easy to accept the advanced version of their technology - how our current technology might easily evolve into the cool (and dangerous) conveniences invading everyday life. Smart and well researched, the author covers a lot of ground in this story imagining the consequences of how the world might turn out in 2216 with unchecked climate change, medical advances, corrupt political control, population manipulation, censorship, genocide, war, … all that with a touch of romance included to stir our hearts. The spectacular setting and compelling characters intrigued my imagination so much I can hardly wait to see the movie version of this novel. I would love to sit in with the casting director to help them choose. Looking forward to reading the sequel! Highly recommend.

From a Swirl of Confusion Emerges a Girl with Fight, Racing towards Truth and Right
From the political global climate, to environmental phenomena, to the tension in the spiritual world and sharp division in class, there is much that is eerily familiar to today, making the fictitious world seem plausible — especially the trending towards loss of our freedoms and preference for virtual technology over reality. The constant references to present-day features threaten that this fictional reality is very close.

From a Swirl of Confusion Emerges a Girl with Fight, Racing towards Truth and Right
From the political global climate, to environmental phenomena, to the tension in the spiritual world and sharp division in class, there is much that is eerily familiar to today, making the fictitious world seem plausible — especially the trending towards loss of our freedoms and preference for virtual technology over reality. The constant references to present-day features threaten that this fictional reality is very close.
Via the mind and experience of feisty main character Marie-Joëlle "Jo" Peone, the reader races through an imaginative tale exploring our future globe. As the gripping story unfolds, one feels disillusioned and trapped in a confusing world, probably much like that of some contemporary teens. Chaos and evil have the upper hand and adults control many aspects of their lives. Conveyed in first-person, present tense narrative, the creative, well-developed plot and sympathetic character present a believable reality, as the reader begins to share the angst of the protagonist.
The lack of gratuitous violence/sex or gruesome description of gore found in much of young adult fiction today is refreshing! Although I marked and made notes all the way through, I still ended with some confusion over the conspiracies behind the story line, who was “good” and who was “bad”. Perhaps Book Two will provide clues to several puzzling unanswered questions from the world of Jove's Legacy by Kim E. Morgan. Be sure to check the three levels of discussion guides at the back of the book for enriched thought on ideas and scenarios from the story.

Jove's Legacy is a rigorous quest in search of the truth of heritage and history of the heroine.
This is an excellent book for teens and adults who speculate what the future will bring to the world. This book encourages thinking about your current choices and beliefs and what the ramifications of what of those choices will bring in the future. The heroine is looking for historical truth and she finds several layers of truth that have been hidden by the conspiracy of the current government and media. Her quest is interesting and the descriptions of the locations are wonderful. The author has even created a review at the end of the book with topics for discussion at book clubs and classes. This is the first of a trilogy and I am anxiously anticipating the second book.

Take a Journey Into the Year 2216 and Enjoy the Adventure
The reason I gave Jove's Legacy 5 stars because this novel kept my interest and was definitely a page turner. The author Kim E. Morgan is truly a gifted story teller just by the details of the story line and characters she created. I was so impressed with how the author characterized how the world in the year 2216 would be like and it was as if I were there. The ending was perfect and I can't wait for the next installment.
