Its a real thrill when you start a book without any real expectations and you find yourself completely blown away. That’s what The Unquiet by Mikaela Everett was for me and I have found this review a hard one to write because I just want everyone to go out and… Read more »
Tag: Dystopian
Review: Stillpoint, Katie Kacvinsky
This series has to be one of the most underrated YA trilogies I can think of. I picked up Awaken on a whim when going through my dystopian phase back in 2011 and simply adored it. I felt that it was such a believable scenario considering how humanity is with its… Read more »
Review: The 100, Kass Morgan
I was super excited to get this book, I haven’t seen the TV show but keep waiting for it to start showing here in Australia on free to air TV (apparently channel GO acquired the rights). So I started to read this with great anticipation and I think I must… Read more »

Review: Dust, Hugh Howey
Wow, what a satisfying and gripping conclusion to the Silo saga. I enjoyed this book so much that I forgot to take review notes while I was reading it. I was so engrossed in the plot and so invested in the characters that I forgot that this was an ARC… Read more »
Review: Allegiant, Veronica Roth
This review may contain spoilers for previous books in the series. Overview The first part of this book was great nad had me eating out of the palm of Veronica Roth’s hand. However, by the halfway point I could see where we were headed in terms of pacing and… Read more »
