What the book is about……
When
her faith makes her a target, Lennox Winters must leave everything she knows
behind, and face the harsh truth of what her world has become. The raised scar
on her chest reminds her she still has a purpose, but is her purpose worth the
sacrifice? With a new Regime taking over America and imprisoning Christians,
she must decide what is worth fighting for. They said her faith would be the
death of her, but her faith made her alive. It is only when she has nothing
else to lose that she discovers who she really is.
My Review
Rating: Four point Five Stars
The First
thing that really stood out to me was the cover. It was love at first sight. ;)
I mean, look at it! It’s gorgeous! I then looked up the book on Goodreads, and
when I read what it was about, I immediately wanted it. After getting it, I
excitedly tried to finish my current read quickly so as to read this, and I was
not disappointed.
Let’s take a look at the characters, shall
we? My favorite thing in this book had to be the characters. They were amazing,
and I loved them so much. *hands them special chocolate* Lennox, the main
character, was so marvelous. I just loved her so much. And we can’t forget Sky,
now can we. Sky was super charming! And when Lennox seen his
notebook…..*squeaks happily* I was totally fangirling!
Now to the
setting. At first I was uncertain of the setting. The book is set in the year
2030, and seemed almost like a contemporary. Me not being the biggest
contemporary fan was kind of leery of it. But then we got to later in the book,
and we see all these cool sci-fi electronics, and inventions gizmos! I ended up
rather liking it. :D
The Story
line was very griping. It was full of awesome twists, and turns. And as I said
up above, it had lots of cool electronics and inventions that had me
captivated. The villains were great as well. They were positively
chilling.
As for the problems, there was one. I wasn’t
too crazy about the writing. It felt a bit distant. Like I was being told the
story, rather than experiencing it. Other than that, this book was fabulous!
As for who
I would recommend it for, I would recommend it to anyone looking for an
inspiring, Christian Dystopian. As for recommended age, probably thirteen and
up.
I received Defier: The Girl Who Stood from the author in exchange for an honest
review.
