* I received PARADIGM from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review *4.5 stars!PARADIGM by Ceri A. Lowe is a wonderful YA Dystopian novel. There are themes consistent with other Dystopian novels, but Paradigm was truly original and a very enjoyable read.I read Paradigm rather quickly. I enjoyed all the characters, two leads-one male and one female- but set from two different time periods weaving together a fresh story and fresh perspectives of a different world.This is the first in a series so there are things left unanswered and has me clamoring for the next installment. There were also some scenes in the book that were beautifully heart wrenching.I found it touching and believable how our male lead had a clear view of the future he wanted but in relating with the past, it changed his outlook. Time and experience has a way of either giving or taking away the convictions we once held. I applaud the author for her sense and writing style. It was wonderful.I would highly recommend this to lovers of Dystopian themed novels.
