Welcome to Litsy!

The girl from a propaganda poster grows up and is tasked with finding a missing girl. I was hooked.

I liked this dystopian story of a revolution overthrowing one regime in the Seattle area and replacing it with one that may or may not be better. Our FMC Sonya is in a type of prison and is offered a deal for her freedom. This was really a story about self discovery and not being who society wants you to be. It was more about self love than romantic love. Interesting. Good but not great. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 stars

4⭐ 𝟕.𝟔/𝟏𝟎
This is the kind of story that leaves you with something to think about. A look at what our future could hold or not…who‘s to say? Lately, it doesn‘t feel like it‘s headed in a good direction.

I found myself completely immersed in the story and while I feel like some things went right over my head in a way, I have to say, that I really enjoyed this story. The writing is terrific and the ending was satisfying.

Audiobook pick:
This book had some serious potential but I felt the world-building lacked something. Despite that, the concept was truly unique. What happens in the aftermath of a dystopian regime that is toppled?

Interesting premise: main character is the titular former “poster girl” of this society‘s previous dystopian government (1984 + iPhones), living in a prison ghetto with other adults who were part of the ruling class and given the opportunity for freedom if she can right a wrong from the past.

The ending was a bit anticlimactic for me, despite several twists. Overall effect felt closer to Divergent than The Handmaid‘s Tale.

Light pick - 3.5 ⭐️

This might be the last book I finish in 2022. I loved it. I love this author.

They didn't cancel my flight!

Starting this book tonight. #dystopian

When Sonya was 17, a revolution overthrew the Delegation and destroyed her family, leaving her exiled in the Aperture. Her father was a high-ranking official & she was a true believer, following the rules and earning points for correct behavior. An unexpected chance at freedom leads her to reassess everything she once held true. An interesting, somber story of regret and atonement. One quibble: Aperture is a really implausible name, in my opinion.

I wasn't a Divergent fan, but I enjoyed this! The world-building was plausible, and Sonya's internal journey made for a really interesting story. #dystopianfiction

Happy pub day to Veronica Roth's new book! 🎉🎉🎉 I am definitely one of those people who continue to follow her writing career long after the popularity of Divergent wore off! 😂 I really really liked her adult debut, Chosen Ones, so I'm excited for this one too! 💕📚💕

This book is a mystery set in the near future, dystopian Seattle-Portland megalopolis. Sonya‘s family was a member of the Delegation, a government that used a device called the Insight to constantly surveil society. But when a revolution happens, Sonya loses her family and freedom. The new government offers her a deal: find a missing girl, and Sonya goes free. But what she discovers isn‘t what she was expecting.

Just received this is a nice swag package from the publisher! About halfway through and I‘m liking it so far.
