A dystopian thriller which shows the kind of future we might have. The book blends a wide range of elements, drawing the reader in, from the first page. I applaud the writer’s creative imagination, and her unique writing style, which makes you feel like you are actually in the story.
My thoughts:
The author has created a story depicting a frightening side of humanity. Desperate to satisfy our endless greed, lab scientists have created these creatures, which were supposed to save the planet. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and now everyone is on the run from them.
Iris is the main character in the book, and the one who makes it her mission to fight again the buku. She, along others, is on a permanent fight for survival, feeling danger creeping closer and closer. Unfortunately, she is also a human being, and prone to impulsiveness. Her decisions will have consequences, but you will have to read the book to find out what these were.
I loved the fast-pace at which the story unfolded. It might be a dystopian thriller, or better said a post-apocalyptic adventure, but I could not help to notice the additional elements. In fact, this story offers a bit of everything, from action to horror, and back to mystery, faith, and romance. It was hard to put down, which says it all.
The characters are well-developed, and Iris bears all the trademarks of a genuine heroine. We are shown how disastrous genetic meddling can be, but also that human beings will always fight to overcome challenges.
Verdict:
If you like dystopian thrillers, this is a must read. A gripping tale of greed and self-destruction, with a powerful female character at the center. It shows us what we already know – our greed is endless, as is human arrogance. The story is more than believable, and I liked that it is doubled by a survival adventure, with the clear of influence of personal strength. An excellent read!
