I was really confused as to what world this was set in, only a vague description was given but the way it sounds it seems really medieval but the technology is too advanced to be in that era. The writing was good but that was probab...

I can just imagine the conversation that must have taken place with this book…“So, I’ve got this manuscript about a girl who lives in this fantasy setting—”“Fantasies aren’t big right now. Can you make it dystopian?”“Um, I guess we could just say that the world got destroyed and this is what’s left...

C.J. Redwine deftly blends light fantasy elements and a post-apocalyptic, dystopian world to create an impressive debut novel. Unfortunately, there isn’t much in the way of world-building – we have no idea what time period this could have taken place in and we aren’t given very much in terms of hist...

Though I really wanted to like Defiance - especially after falling in love with that gorgeous cover - I was ultimately disappointed by this debut offering from C.J. Redwine.

Defiance was not what I was expecting: with the synopsis, the tagline, the cover.. I expected a lot of action! A super exciting adventure story! I didn't get that. There was some action, some interesting scenes, but overall it was a romance and "self-discovery" type novel. Overall, I did like it. I ...
