Ok so I expected better from the blurb.I thought that maybe it would be another hunger games for me, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.I grew tired of the characters and I found myself skipping parts. I don't know what else to say. It wasn't bad but the writing needed work and the story had hol...
This book has been on my radar for a while. I can’t remember where I first heard about it, but from the description, it seemed right up my alley (from the Kobo store): As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early ag...
*Genre* YA Dystopian*Rating* 3.0 *Review*I'm normally a sucker for all things Dystopian. Unfortunately, not all novels are written equally amazing. In fact, sometimes they come up lame and it makes me shake my head in sadness at what could have been. This book falls somewhere in the middle of that f...
So this one was a bit of a let down for me. The first few chapters were great and I was super engaged due to the immediate action as well as the background and world building. Beyond that I wasn't that impressed.Alenna became an orphan at the age of 10 due to her parents being taken by the governm...
The Forsaken was a well-written and entertaining dystopia. In this near future the United States has been taken over by a military junta led by the charismatic Minister Harka. Dissidents like Alenna's parents are taken away by the military leaving Alenna as a bewildered orphan who is determined to f...
Why, in the name of Zeus, mix romance in a story where romance not only its not needed but it doesn't fit?Many people compare The Forsaken to Hunger Games but for me it was more like The Maze Runner.Alenna lives in a world where Canada, Mexico and the U.S. are united under one nation called UNA. Whe...
The Forsaken is about an orphan girl who has to pass a test like everyone at her age that determines if she is prone to crime. If she fails, she will be shipped off to a prison island. One thing I noticed about this book was the little things that made me think of me of other science fiction nov...
Dystopian books are all the rage! Their unique yet exciting. The Forsaken falls in to the category of awesome stories. Not only did it manage to pull in the reader in a great world, but it manages to gratify ever wakening moment.What I love the most about the story are the characters. The characters...
I'm so confused by this... it's not what I expected whatsoever.The world building was lacking, although I could see the potential. It would have been amazing to learn about about the UNA and the Island. I like being able to picture it in my head perfectly.Don't get me started on Alenna. I didn't lik...
