Watch out, may contain spoilers.I read some reviews, and I expected a Star Wars fan fiction. Now let me tell you this. It is not a fan fiction, it has some Star Wars references, and yes a big part is about Star Wars, but if you read the whole book, you will find out why. Anyways, Leia and her twin b...
This will be a very short review for a very short novella. I'll admit that I'm a little taken aback by the fact that this is essentially a Star Wars AU fanfic - in technical terming. With direct references to the characters, with the main characters having names similar to Star Wars, but it tries ...
Rating: 3.5 StarsI wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from The Island.I knew to expect Star Wars references, but I didn’t expect the story itself to revolve around Star Wars. (Which actually isn’t a bad thing.)The Island is a quick read. It is short and enjoyable, but it does feel like something is...

The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was given a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.Imagine living on an island where the children are considered adults at the age of 10. When they become adults they have to leave their parent's home and go live at the...

It’s also because of this, that I try to be a bit picky when choosing which to read. I’m glad I came across The Island.What I found interesting for The Island is that the au...
3.5 stars. ARC copy provided by Net Galley.On the island is a wall. On one side of the wall live the elusive Fools; those who believe that people from the world beyond will come and save them. On the other side lives Leia, and her people. At the age of 10, all children are forced from their parents'...
It's always hard to connect with characters in a novella, since everything seems a little rushed. That being said, I liked the premise of The Island: a dystopian society ruled by children that ultimately came into being because of a Star Wars story. The idea may seem a little bit ridiculous at first...
Due to copy and paste, formatting has been lost.I have never found myself so disappointed by a dystopian novel. I'm not even sure that this qualifies as a dystopian read. It has all the key attributes (defunct society, ruthless leader, plague), but they didn't really work together. And STAR WARS? Re...
