In the first book of the new futuristic dystopian series from author Lisa T. Bergren, the chosen remnants must work to redirect humanity’s course.
The year is 2095. Gifted teens known as Remnants have been chosen and trained to act as humanity’s last hope to rectify the horrors that are now part of everyday life.
The Community has trained these teens as warriors and assigned them Knights of the Last Order as protectors. Together, they are a force that will be difficult to bring down.
But the Sons of Sheol, of course, are determined to do just that. As the Remnants begin their mission to course-correct humanity by saving and protecting key individuals, their enemies move to stop them, placing the entire world in peril.
Bestselling author Lisa T. Bergren presents the first book in her new YA futuristic dystopian series—The Remnants Novels—fitting in with the current dystopian trend in the marketplace.
Review:
I really enjoyed this book. The characters and storyline are
very unique.
In a futuristic and post-apocalyptic world there is a
special group of teens who are born on the same day called Remnants who with
their Knights are supposed to try and fix the damage that has been done to the
world by bombs and a cancer that has killed many people. Along the way they are
meeting more Remnants and Knights to assemble the team but they suffer
hardships and are also being hunted by the Sons of Sheol.
The story starts off with Dri a Remnant and her Knight Ronan
being called to start their journey something they have been training for since
they were younger. Once they meet their elders there is another team there plus
their boss. The group sets off to rescue the other members but they encounter
hardships in their quest.
I really enjoyed this book. It’s not like anything I have
ever read but it did remind me a little of Mad Max or Water World as some the things
the characters go through which isn’t a bad thing as I enjoy both of those
movies. But what I loved most was Dri she is a lot stronger than she even
realizes and with her special gift of empathy she is a valuable member to her
group. She handles feeling everyone’s feelings better than I could. I would be
very overwhelmed and probably would want to make my gift go away somehow. My other
favorite part is the relationship between Dri and Ronan. They are never to be
in love with one another. That is not their destiny. They were born to save
everyone but it still doesn’t stop them from having stronger feelings for one
another.
The other characters add to the storyline just as much
and I can’t wait for the next book so I can see what happens to all of them.
