 "In the midst of a thirty-page book about darkness, hope, and faith, there was somehow room for some humor too. Skies of Dripping Gold has a tremendous range of emotion, put down in ethereal prose that serves as a stark contrast to the bleakness of its dystopian city world."
In an angry, frightened world where the Poison claims many lives, a young man's belief in Paradise has collapsed into a distant dream. Gabriel can no longer place his trust in the existence of such a place. Not when his sister's pain continues to sap her strength. Not when prayers for her healing go unanswered.As the Poison progresses, eating away at Lilly's life, Gabriel sets off on a desperate climb to save her from death. Struggling to discover the truth behind a world where the skies drip gold, Gabriel tries to maintain his disbelief in a God while clutching after hope for his sister's salvation. But, as he climbs the cliff that is said to lead to Paradise, he begins to see: if he can't bring himself to believe in a place of peace and golden skies, then how can he possibly hope for his sister's rescue? How can he possibly hope for his own? Skies of Dripping Gold, Hannah Heath's debut short story, is a Christian dystopian about a young man's struggle to save his sister's life and rescue his own soul.

1. don't murder people
2. don't swear in front of Lilly."
--Skies of Dripping Gold, Hannah Heath
So, this line made me giggle. In the midst of a thirty-page book about darkness, hope, and faith, there was somehow room for some humor too. Skies of Dripping Gold has a tremendous range of emotion, put down in ethereal prose that serves as a stark contrast to the bleakness of its dystopian city world.
I fell in love with the characters, Gabriel especially. Unlike the generic tall, dark and handsome heroes of most YA fiction, Gabriel is a young man of mixed emotions, shifting doubts, and very human flaws, as well as great courage and an undying loyalty to his pain-wracked sister, Lilly.
Also I found the ideas of the dystopian world itself, with its mysterious disease and tales of a glorious Paradise, both unusual and intriguing.
overall, this is an immensely enjoyable story, and one I'll most likely read more than once :) (
