Is “The Forsaken” a groundbreaking dystopian? I wouldn’t say that, no. Is it a book worth reading? I’d have to say yes, absolutely. I like it when a book surprises me, and “The Forsaken” did just that. Repeatedly. The story is about Alenna, a young girl living in the UNA. She’s preparing for the GPP...
The world has fallen to pieces, people are starving, a global economic meltdown has occurred. What’s left of Canada, the United States and Mexico form the United Northern Alliance. The UNA was formed to salvage what remains of their countries. What citizens didn’t expect is a government ruled by a d...
The Forsaken is told from the perspective of Alenna Shawcross. The idea for this story isn't original, it has been done multiple times before by other books/movies. Almost all of the characters were boring and I didn't feel sorry for them when I should have. Lisa M. Stasse's writing was very odd. To...

Before I read this book ,as I do with many books, I browsed some reviews to see what people where thinking. The consensus was that it was something that anyone who enjoyed The Hunger Games would enjoy. I definitely enjoyed HG, so I gave it a try. It was definitely interesting and I can see where ...
It's like someone took Divergent & The Hunger Games and smushed them together to create this. You may be thinking: "that can't be too bad, right?" but yes, oh yes it can. The romance churned my stomach. They knew each other for what? a day? before confessing their inability to live with out the othe...
Alenna was always a passive girl, never one to cause any ripples but when she gets tossed on “the Wheel” she realizes that to survive she might have to change. The Wheel is the government’s idea to isolate the teens that have rebellious tendencies on an individual island or at least that is what the...
Also appears on my blog, The YA Kitten! My copy was an ARC I received via Southern Book Bloggers ARC Tours.This novel could have been so fantastic, especially considering the shades of other, greater novels within it (such as Lord of the Flies, The Hunger Games, and The Giver) and its fast pacing. U...
Mash up a little bit of The Lord of the Flies, plus a small section of The Truman Show, add a lot of imagination and you've got The Forsaken. Excellent plot, great characters and a few twists I didn't see coming. Quite a different take on the dystopian society and I really liked it. It's the start o...
