Resistance: Divided Elements #1
Resistance: Divided Elements #1 | Mikhaeyla Kopievsky
6 posts | 8 read | 13 to read
The Announcer calls my name, but she does not speak to me. This macabre spectacle has nothing to do with me. And everything to do with them. This is all for the thousands below - the compliant citizens of Otpor, the witnesses to my Execution, the silent and transfixed. This is their moment. Their reconditioning. In a future post-apocalyptic Paris, a rebellion threatens to upset the city's perfectly-structured balance and plunge its citizens into anarchy. Two generations after the Execution of Kane 148 and Otpor's return to Orthodoxy, forbidden murals are appearing on crumbling concrete walls - calling citizens to action. Calling for Resistance. The murals will change the utopian lives of all citizens. But, for Anaiya 234, they will change who she is. A Peacekeeper of the uncompromising Fire Element, Anaiya free-runs through city's precincts to enforce the Orthodoxy without hesitation or mercy. Her selection for a high-risk mission gives Otpor's Cooperative the chance it needs to eliminate the Heterodoxy and Anaiya the opportunity she craves to erase a shameful past. But the mission demands an impossible sacrifice - her identity. With this accomplished debut offering, Kopievsky presents a dark dystopian tale with complex characters, exquisite world-building and high tension. Divided Elements (Book 1) - Resistance is a welcomed addition to the intelligent speculative fiction tradition of Philip K. Dick, Margaret Atwood and Rupert Thomson.

Mehso-so

I have mixed feelings about this book. The writing is great and the dystopian stew is tasty, but I find the characters and world-building rather flat (arguably appropriate given the context of social conditioning and control). The result is an interesting deconstruction of a utopian dystopia, but one that never captivated me.

This is a "Divided Elements" Origin Story.

While book 1 and 2 mostly focus on the Fire and Air Elementals, this book is out of the point of view of the Earth Elemental Lira.

I can 100% recommend this novella along with the other books in the series and can't wait for Book 3 to be released.

I had this on my Kindle for the longest and finally started it.... and stayed up last night until I was done.

I really enjoyed this and am definitely going to pick up the second book.

Where are my dystopian fiction fans? You are going to want to check this out. The world building is fantastic, the characters are great ( the female lead is kick-arse) and the writing is quite unlike anything I've read before. If I was going to compare it to something it would be Divergent with hints of 1984 and Brace New World. Wonderful debut - I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Out on Jan 30. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher 😊
