This was the perfect mix of genres. The dystopian world that Burke creates was fantastic in a steampunk way. The fact that the characters are pirates adds yet another element. Both main characters, Rose and Miranda, are complex and the romantic tension between them is another element to this already complex plot.

"As for dystopian, I’m not putting this on the list because we live in a time when those wielding power say things like, “Truth isn’t truth.” (Fun fact: it is!) I’m adding it because, when I was too young to grasp its cautionary aspects, this book showed me what a novel could do."

My #4Star #BookoftheMonth for August is a #YoungAdult #Dystopian #Romance "about the life of a girl with extraordinary psychic powers, and what happens when a heart is torn between love and rage." Take a look and see what I think. 😁

Dystopian and lesbian fiction together! I think I may swoon. May Dawney has created the book I always wanted to read. The characters are deep and the plot flows. There is nothing in this book that seems forced or contrived. The relationship develops in steady way. This book is definately on my favorites list!

This was an interesting take on dystopian YA. People called Epics with superhuman powers who are almost without exception villainous thugs. That's enough to get me interested. I did figure out the "surprises" at the end, but it was an enjoyable read and I'll probably pick up the rest of the series at some point.

Good dystopian future regarding population crisis (2 more)
Good storyline
Good cast
Contains spoilers, click to show
I watch and read a lot of dystopian future. Many are about the population crisis. This has used an idea that has already been seen to be used in China and expanded on the idea and the possibilities of its enforcement worldwide. Obviously the likelihood of gm crops causing multiple births is a little farfetched but the way that the scenarios are dealt with really drew me in. And who doesn't like a good government conspiracy?
It would have been nicer to get the know each of the girls a little bit longer so you could link a face/personality to a name, but I suppose that was also the point if it.

"Thoughtful apocalyptic concept"
This novel mixes an apocalyptic scenario with real life dramas from a bygone era. The various narratives are engaging and the back and forth stories knit together all the different subplots. The fact that it surrounds a troupe of performers with a past history in the arts makes for a different kind of dystopian fiction.
