Review: Great Dystopian Novel!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 9, 2014
Being big into history the idea that this story is a retelling of the classic story of Paris and Helen, I knew this was something that I wanted to read. And it is also a dystopian novel, and that has recently become one of my new favorite genres so I couldn't wait to read this book!! A story where love must conquer all, who wouldn't love it?Like many other dystopian books, the world has seemed to separate itself into separate groups but yet still one big group. There are 4 different stratums people are "placed" into, and thats where we meet Pierce, who unfortunately, is in the lowest stratum, he is a drudge. Basically a slave to everyone else. But Pierce doesn't let that get him down, too much. He's got a great roommate and best friend Hale, and soon he and Hale will be able to take their aptitude test to hopefully be able to move into a new stratum and make a change in their lives. Little does he know that at his next work event his life will change forever.Once Pierce meets Artist Harmony, neither of their lives are the same, and I can totally feel the passion and love that Paris and Helen had in Pierce and Harmony. It is a whirl wind story about love, betrayal, lies, death and happiness. It is a book that hooks you from the get go and you cannot put it down. I am very excited for the next installment because the way this ended, THERE HAS TO BE MORE!!Reviewed by Ashley @ Step Into Fiction
