The story of a girl searching for her father in a world changed by the alien “Visitors,” where the moon has been split and the sun stopped in the sky. The inhabitants of the west have reverted back to the old West, using horses for transportation, etc. I liked Megan Bridgwater and her friend Luis. The girl they pick up along the way in their journey, Kelly, was pretty annoying though, and some of the things she does just don’t make sense. I think the story got off track for me when they reached a town and Kelly went off on her own, playing poker and using one of their horses to bet with, and it just got weirder from there. The rest of the story was somewhat interesting, especially the concept of a “land river," and there was quite a bit of action, but although I know it was a fantasy, some of Megan’s inner monologues just sounded like nonsense to me. It all wraps up neatly at the end, maybe a little too conveniently, but even so, that was a plus for me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars awesome book *by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2014* this book was really cool!!! there should be a sequel. i don't quite get the whole visitor thing or how the moon was destroyed. or even how the earth stopped spinning. I don't know how the moon being destroyed stopped the rotation of the earth. weird. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Sci-Fi Set In A Wild West World *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2014* Four things to note about Where The Rock Splits The Sky - it has just 266 pages, yet has a well paced story that doesn't feel rushed in any places. It's a Sci-Fi Western that people will probably try and squeeze it into the Dystopia category (the 3 users on Goodreads, I'm looking at you). Although it has some Dystopia elements, I don't think it's fits the modern definition of Dystopia enough to fit it into that definition. As far as I can tell, it's a stand alone novel, which I know will appeal to the many readers who are tired of waiting three years to finish a story that could be wrapped up in one book.Finally, it has a really freaking long title and I keep writing When instead of Where.I don't think I've ever read a YA western story, which surprised me when I realised this. The 'Wild West' is a staple the Hollywood movie's diets and I've seen all kinds of Westerns portrayed on TV from West World in 1973 with the amazingly talented Yul Brynner, to comedy movies like Wild Wild West and more recently The Lone Ranger. But the Wild West doesn't feature much in books these days, despite it being hugely popular on the Big Screen. Where The Rock Splits The Sky manages to take all the classic Western elements and a lot of desert, add Sci-Fi and make a really, really good story.Aliens are becoming more popular in YA books and it was refreshing to have a YA book where the girl doesn't fall in insta-love with an alien. The aliens, or Visitors in this story are not something you want to fall in love with, especially when a few of them are hiding in reanimated corpses and have maggots crawling out of their eyes *shudder*. That was really freaking gross. Almost as gross as the rain of fish. We have three main characters, Megan, Kelly and Luis. Megan is our main character and we see everything from her point of view. Luis is kind of her sidekick and follows her everywhere and Kelly they pick up a few chapters in, we find her in a floating town with no idea what has happened to the world. Kelly was my favourite of the group and the one I related to the most, constantly cracking jokes. I wasn't sure about Luis as there was almost no description of him that I can remember.Although I had a little difficulty getting used to the story (nothing is explained, you kind of just have to pick it up as you go along), I really enjoyed the in between parts of Where The Rock Splits The Sky. There was quite a bit of traveling but it was interspersed with strange towns where something weird happened each time - they met Kelly, cleaned bat poo, almost got arrested for underage gambling... meanwhile trying to keep out of the way of Jetho's Gang, a pack of Visitors that are on their trail. It's a thrilling read that I enjoyed very much and I was rather sad when it ended. If you love Sci-Fi, Western or just Adventure tales, I highly recommend this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/14703236-where-the-rock-splits-the-sky-hardcover-march-25-2014](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/14703236-where-the-rock-splits-the-sky-hardcover-march-25-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
