Summary
A Christian dystopian thriller where a young woman named Gemma’s love and faith are tested as she strives to survive a world where Christianity is outlawed.
Likes
- Premise & Pacing. You don’t see too many Christian dystopian books out there, so this was a refreshing original premise with very consistent pacing for a book in the action-drama genre.
- Characters. The characters seemed to be fleshed out well and their POVs seemed balanced enough.
- Twists. While I thought that some parts would be predictable, I was happy to be proven wrong!
- Not too preachy. I am a Christian, but sometimes books containing Christian tropes get too preachy and therefore I am taken out of the story; but, thankfully, this wasn’t the case here.
Dislikes
- Gemma. I didn’t not like her too much, but I would have liked to see her a little more brave in parts when she seemed near to falling apart.
Conclusion
I think I may buy this book! The pacing kept me engaged and I look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy!
