Flawed by Cecelia Ahern
I’ve actually owned this book for such a long time, but when I received the second book from the publisher, I kind of… had to read the first one. Which I’m glad about to be honest because I’ve been meaning to read it for ages! Dystopians are kinda like my fave… …
Unwind by Neal Shusterman
This is a very dark, disturbing yet philosophical book that will stay in your brain for a very very long time. This is the first time that I have read anything by Shusterman and after reading Unwind, I am interested to see whether his other books are as good as this.
The Promise She Made by Nicholas Pearce
Living in 2016, we are used to so much advanced technology. Being 21, I have had to adapt to these technological changes that are happening in my life – my friends and I were first introduced to the idea of Facebook when we were 14. Now, children are growing up with smartphones and tablets in their hands. It only makes sense that an author would notice these changes happening in our world and create a story about it. And that is exactly what Nicholas Pearce did with The Promise She Made.
Darkness Follows by L.A Weatherly
If you read my review on Broken Sky – the first book in this series – you will know how much I absolutely loved it. Darkness Follows wasn’t as good. That’s not to say that the book was bad, it didn’t suffer from the ‘middle book syndrome’ but it definitely wasn’t as good as it’s counterpart.
Reboot by Amy Tintera
My bookshelf was looking very scarce of Sci-Fi books. I have a lot of dystopian billions of contemporary young adult books but not a lot of science fiction. To be completely honest, I have no idea why because I absolutely love the genre. Plop me down in front of a science fiction tv show or film and I will happily watch it without any fuss, give me a science fiction and I will devour it whole. So why don’t I have a lot of Sci-Fi books? I have no idea, but I changed that very quickly.
One of the first Sci-Fi books that I bought to add to my small collection was Reboot by Amy Tintera.
Shattered by Teri Terry
Shattered is the final book in the Slated trilogy and an epic ending to the world of the Slateds and their government.
This is a world that I don’t think I will ever forget due to its realistic nature and Terry’s way of creating a place that was truly unforgettable.
Fractured by Teri Terry
Was Fractured as good as the first book in the Slated series? I don’t know. Both of them have got four stars but for different reasons. Slated got four stars because the build up of characters was brilliant and the story-telling was amazing.
Fractured received four stars because of the last half of the book. It was fast, action-packed and jaw-dropping.
More Than This by Patrick Ness
More Than This is the first book that I have ever read by Patrick Ness. And it certainly isn’t going to be the last. I was recommended by one of my best friends to read this last year and I finally decided to read it.
I was quite weary of reading this, as the blurb doesn’t give away much about the book, and I like having some inkling about what the book is about before I start reading – all I knew is that a boy dies and wakes up in an unknown place.
It does sound very interesting though, doesn’t it?
Slated by Teri Terry
Dystopian novels are pretty much formulaic. It’s set way in the future (or past) with a slight twist: the government regime has been changed. A definition of a dystopian novel is that the setting is a society that has an illusion of a perfect utopian world. Most dystopian works present a world in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained.
I find dystopian novels intriguing. It’s interesting to see how the author sees what the world will be like in that period of time and it’s interesting to see how that perception differs from author to author.
