BLURB:
In the future there is no disease. There is no war. There is no discontent. All citizens are complacent members of the Global Governance. But one summer is about to change everything.
Keeva Tee just turned fifteen. All of her dreams are about to come true. She s about to make the trip to Monarch Camp to be imprinted with her intended life partner. One day they ll have perfect kids and a perfect life. But in her happy, carefree life in the Ocean Community, something weighs on her mind. She hears whispers about anomalies citizens who can t be imprinted. No one knows what happens to them, but they never seem to come back.
When Keeva arrives at Monarch Camp, her worst nightmare becomes a reality she is an anomaly. After imprinting, the people she loves change, and she starts to doubt everything she s ever believed. What if freedom and individuality have been sacrificed for security? And what if the man who solves all the problems is the very man who s created them and what if he isn’t a man at all?
When Keeva finds a warning carved under a bunk bed she begins to understand: nonconformity will be punished, dissent is not an option, insurgents will be destroyed.
REVIEW:
A twisted dystopian read that ticked all the boxes for an enjoyable time.
I listened to this book via Audiobook, which was an interesting and thoroughly enjoyable experience. The main character of Keeva is strong and intelligent which I like in a dystopian heroine. The other characters within the novel all had their own role and no one seemed unnecessary to the overall storyline. The world building was absolutely amazing. I loved this dystopian society is mixed with some sci-fi for a stunning take on the dystopian genre. The societies and different coloured clothes reminded me slightly of elements of Divergent, and then Anomalies took its own twists and turns making it an amazing rollercoaster ride. While I hate cliff-hanger endings I know that there is more to come. I am so excited to continue this story with Keeva, Kai, Sun and the Rebellion. Divergent with a sci-fi twist… a must read for any fan of the dystopian genre.
