Reading has always been one of my passions. I recently read a trilogy by Julianna Baggott that I really emjoyed reading. The three books named Pure, Fuse, and Burn are a science-fiction trilogy. Although the trilogy seems cliched at first, I think it is a great piece of literature for numerous reasons.
First of all, the story takes place in a post apocalyptic world, where the main characters are trying to survive. More than just a typical science-fiction scenario, the author has the artistry to develop the psychological traits of the characters and their relationships with each other. In addition, Julianna Baggott proposes a darker side of humanity, which makes the story more realistic and credible. For example, the readers will discover an entire world of betrayal, corruption, and selfishness.
Second, this trilogy also offers a whole universe of sciences and nanotechnology. All the nerdy readers will be pleased by the exactitude of the information stated in the books. Indeed, the writer did years of research to give the most accurate data to the readers. Moreover, it is easy to picture the environment in which the characters evolve due to the detailed descriptions of the background.
On the other hand, the end of the trilogy is maybe the only negative point I would address as a distinct flaw. Not that it has a feeble ending, but it provides a frustrating epilogue. It definitely deviates from the run of the mill science-fiction stories that one often finds. The readers who are seeking originality will enjoy the end of the story. Personally, I had a feeling of uneasiness for weeks after I finished the books because most of the issues introduced in the story remained unresolved. Maybe the writer wanted to allow the opportunity for a sequel, who knows.

One of the best things in Cali is to visit Disneyland, where reliving your great childhood years is possible. In LA, there is the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or LACMA. The focal piece is the stunning installation of Chris Burden’s Urban Light, which is a must to take wonderful pictures there. Other great places are the beaches of this city. Venice and Santa Monica are the most famous and the most active. LA is a city of endless choices of things to do.
