****FINAL RATING: 3.75 STARS****CATCHALLI'm not sure where to begin. There's no doubt in my mind that I absolutely loved The Forsaken—but I also had some issues with it too. To begin with, it is too similar to many dystopians that are out. A bit…formulaic, if you will. Definitely different and fun,...
The Forsaken opens with a prologue. Ten year old Alenna Shawcross witnesses the traumatic event of the police breaking into the family home and dragging her parents off making her a ward of the United Northern Alliance (UNA).Six years later, Alenna is on a field trip to the Harka Museum, which show...
4.5/5 starsYou know how all dystopian novels are now labeled the next "Hunger Games"? and you know how every time, the book has nothing to do with HG or just isn't up to its level? Well The Forsaken not only has a total HG vibe, but its unique plot, mystery, characterization, and excellent storytell...
As seen on my blog losetimereading.blogspot.com:I was really looking forward to this book, really. I love dystopian books, and I thought this concept sounded really cool. It fell so flat for me. Let's begin...I did not get into this book for the first 200 pages. It took me that long to even become r...
This is like reading a mash-up of Lord of the Flies, The Hunger Games, Lost, The Matrix and flag football or someshit.Stasse's writing is actually really good and easy to follow, so the book seemed deceivingly good, but I didn't get what I wanted from it. In fact, the entire focus is on this goddamn...
Full review here: http://booksofamber.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/the-forsaken-by-lisa-m-stasse.htmlThe Forsaken is a particularly engrossing debut that kept me reading until 4am. I just couldn't put the book down after I started reading it; I totally hadn't been planning to stay up all night reading it!...
Was between 3 and 4 stars for me. Ended up being 3 stars because I was interested in the story. Overall, I could overlook the slight world-building issues, the instant love between the characters, and Gayda (she bugged me).
I loved The Forsaken and finished this book in one sitting. I was instantly captivated by this story and just couldn't put it down. The world that Stasse builds is completely fascinating and disturbing.Alenna is an orphan after her parents are taken away by the government while she was younger. Afte...
The Forsaken is like the Hunger Games. A really, really epic Hunger Games. Way better than the Hunger Games actually. Wow. Just WOW.While the synopsis makes you think that Alenna is in the UNA for quite a while in the book and that it’s near the end that she makes her decision (or was it just me?), ...
