I couldn't read the ebook of this due to a corrupt file or something but bought the book and enjoyed it.

It is just a great author that gives you a nice intro into the sci fi genre, there are so few books like this out there and I look forward to reading more

Interesting concept of a world where humans lived alongside Gods until they unexpectedly left, leaving all of their tech behind that one really knew how to use.
The plot as slightly stretched with the "Chosen One" aesthetic. I wasn't really sure why Cora and Lilith had to hide so far in the mountains. I'm sure Cora could have hidden in plain sight as she didn't overtly stand out.
With the richness and complexity of the set up I was expecting more of an ending but what was there was good.
Great characters with enough flaws to render them believable (Cora as a teen needed a damn good slap around the back of the head).
I'd say it was an engaging read for a mid-schooler who likes science fiction.

Colony has been destroyed and no one really knows how it happened. The answers might lie within Cora, a young girl living in the mountains away from society. Cora has an incredible power -she can see how events occurred and sometimes she can change them. But there are people hunting Cora and she needs to run before she can fix things. This action-packed, unique story is about having the ability and will to change the world around you. It’s a message that fully resonates, especially when viewed in light of climate change and what’s really happening to the way that we live. A very thoughtful, suspenseful book with lovely characters.

Having read Adam-2 by Alistair Chisholm, I was pleased to have the opportunity to read his latest book.

Cora is a young girl with mysterious powers - she can look into the past and change small details, thus changing outcomes for those involved. But there are people after her, people who want to use her powers for their own means. Can Cora decide on the best way forward?

This was an enjoyable book and an interesting concept. For children who enjoy sci-fi, this would be a great read. As a teacher, I wouldn't recommend this to all of my class as there are some themes that could be tricky (violence, injury, death.

Thanks to NetGalley and Nosy Crow for the opportunity to read an advance copy.

This was by far one of the best books I've read this year, and it's a children's book! This sci-fi story tells the tale of Cora who has the ability to change the world without even knowing it as she has been brought up in seclusion in the woods by Seleen. The mystery surrounding Cora and Seleen and the other characters is intriguing and kept me guessing all the way through. The world they live in is different to ours, but the message rings true about consequences of our actions and makes for an impactful ending.

I really enjoyed this book. An interesting, original story, cleverly written.
Cora has been brought up alone in the mountains by Seleen. She has been taught to survive, hide and above all, never use her particular powers. But when the outside world catches up to them, Cora will have to adapt and figure out who she wants to be. And maybe, just maybe she can change the world. At least, that’s what the people hunting them think.
Set in a futuristic dystopia, after the collapse of a powerful society of “glories”, the world is vivid and characters varied.

Heart-pounding edge-of-your-seat sci fi! My son started reading this over my shoulder on a flight and was completely gripped even though I was halfway through. A fantastic read and it has made us go back and explore Alastair Chisholm's other books too. Can't believe it took me so long to discover this wonderful author.

The consequence girl *review*
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to @nosycrow and @netgalley for allowing me to review this book.

Alastair Chisholm is fast approaching becoming and auto buy sci-fi author, this just confirms it.

Consequence girl revolves around a girl called Cora who has the power to make or to destroy the world and she does not even know it.

This book was everything I was looking for, it was high stakes it had good characters and it had an amazing world. If you have little ones who like sci-fi they need to read this book.

I loved the interactions with the characters all of which felt very real if you were faced with this predicament and the choices that you are faced with.

All I will say is there better be a second book because like orion lost if you have read the ending I need more.

I will be awaiting with baited breath for the next book middle grade sci-fi that comes out from this author because we need more, and we need to expose children to more, because it shows children messages that we all as humanity need to hear. For children and adults read this book and then be left with the feeling of what happens next.

This is such an unusual, thoughtful yet exciting science fiction title for middle grade readers. The characters were appealing and I genuinely had no idea where the story was going- it kept me on the edge of my seat right to the very end. Discerning readers of Christopher Edge and Kirsty Applebaum will naturally adore this book but it's the kind of book to draw new readers to the genre.

The creativity of Alastair Chisholm is something else. He gradually builds an imaginative new world in The Consequence Girl but somehow manages to link it to our lives now. An ambitious fantasy with a strong message about the effect of the choices you make. So different but just as brilliant as Orion Lost and Adam-2.
