3.5 stars

A fast paced, exciting dystopian that's loaded with action, shocking discoveries, and non-stop surprises, FORSAKEN is a debut unlike any other book I've read so far this year. It felt similar to the likes of Lords of the Flies, the TV show LOST, and The Hunger Games. I'm by no means comparing this book to those classic and the tv show, because this book is an entirely different book and stands out on it's own. But, each of these books/tv show, along with FORSAKEN all have this similar feeling to them, and over all theme, which is this quest/will for survival, and this need to defy whoever/whatever it is that's controlling them.

There was something about FORSAKEN that made it hard for me to put it down, which is also the very thing that I despised about the book, it's government. I don't know what it is about this book's corrupt government that I found intriguing, because it was repulsive at how it treats and abuses it's people. At the same time, this is the very thing that kept me glued to the book. I wanted this certain group of outcasts to win, and to find the answers they were seeking. Their search also became my obsession with this book, because I wanted the same answers they did. I had to know what was really going on. WOW! Talk about shocking revelations. Lisa Stasse did a fabulous job at keeping me in the dark with the surprising secrets, and unpredictable plot twists she reveals during the second part of her book and at the end.

Aside from her well crafted storyline, and imaginative dystopian world, Lisa introduced me to some pretty interesting characters. I wasn't a huge fan of the main character, Alenna, because I needed her to be a little bit stronger than she was during the first half of the book. Given all the goes on, I felt like she relied too heavily on others to protect her. Given the island she finds herself on, I had expected her to step into the role of trying to survive a little more than she did. I also had a very hard time believing the romance in this book, even though I enjoyed the character chemistry. The romance isn't a huge part of the story, but it's still apart of the story non the less, and one I wanted to fall in love with more than I did. Liam, the love interest is definitely a character who's hard not to like, and I can see why Alenna was immediately smitten with him. I got their attraction to each other, but the insta-love thing isn't something I'm a fan of, though I did like how Lisa explained that connection the two felt later on in the story.

There's also a great cast of secondary characters whom all help tell Alenna's story. Each of these characters kept the story entertaining, as they each added a different element to it. They each had a purpose both within the story, and in their savage society. I liked that while some of their reasons for being in the story are still not revealed, the twists with a few of the characters were ones I didn't see coming. If you're a fan of dystopians, lots of action, survival, a subtle romance, and plenty of plot twists I'd recommend picking this one up! I'm looking forward to seeing what lies in store for Alenna, Liam and the rest of the cast with book 2!

The Forsaken The Forsaken Trilogy Lisa M Stasse 8601421450539 Books Reviews

WOW! This book has left me utterly SPEECHLESS!!! My mind is still racing with all the action and adventure in this book! It was truly ONE of the BEST Dystiopian books I have EVER read! And that's saying a lot because I have read so many great dystiopian books, but this one ranks up there near the top!

Where do I start to name the many ways why I love this book? It was an action-packed thrill ride from beginning to end! And NO, I'm not exaggerating one bit!! It truly was! From the minute Alenna arrives on the wheel to the very end of the book were caught up in so much action, that I literally had to take breaks because my heart was beating so fast I thought it was going to explode! It was such a much fun to read this book! I LOVED IT!! I'm so glad I waited as long as I did to read this, because now, the second book is right around the corner, and I don't have to wait long to jump back into Alenna and Liam's adventure. And I heard the next book is just as good as the first one, if not better!

THE PLOT

The United Northern Alliance the UNA for short has taken control of the government by brainwashing the citizens to believe that their is a threat within them! That the same people that are in the population are the same people bringing their world down, and they need to be stopped!! So they come up with the idea to detect early behavior problems in kids at the age of 16. They are given a test to determine if they have rebellious tendencies or as the government calls it Subversive Tendencies. And if they fail the test they are considered a threat either now or in the future, and are exiled and sent to the wheel, a mysterious island where they'll live their remaining days waiting too die. The life expectancy on island Alpha (The Wheel) is only eighteen years of age. That's only two years to live on the wheel!

The Wheel is a treacherous place where kids battle each other for territory and anything else they can claim. Their cruel, dangerous, and will kill you in a heart beat without thinking about it! Its not a place to mess around. But not all the kids on the wheel are like that. Their are two different groups of kids on the wheel. The Monk's Tribe called the Drones and the other Tribe from the blue sector. The other tribe doesn't have a name, but the drones call them The Heathens. So you can pretty much say you have the good "normal" kids that are from the blue sector, then you have the drones, the bad kids that are insane, that run 4 of the 6 sectors. The drones are brainwashed by their leader the Monk who claims he has spiritual powers and tells his tribe that the wheel is just a test and if they do what he says they'll get off the Wheel one day or find their reward in their afterlife. And some kids believe him an do what he says. The other kids that don't go to the blue sector with the semi-sane kids. If they can make it there without the drones capturing them and forcing them to join their tribe.

Alenna is one of the kids that failed the Government Personality Profile Test, GPPT for short, and is sent to the wheel, to pretty much wait for death to take her. She wakes up on the wheel and doesn't remember what happened to her or where she is, until it all starts coming back and she realizes she is at the last place she thought she would end up, the wheel! She immediately puts up a wall and trust one, and she's right too because these kids are dangerous. She has a run-in with one of the drones trying to claim her as one of them, and take her back to their leader the Monk. She is luckily rescued by one of the good kids from the blue sector, and is brought back to their village, and that's when Aleena's adventure starts!

She starts to form friendships with some of the kids from the blue sector, and quickly learns the ropes of how the wheel works. They are at a constant battle with the drones, and have their village attacked constantly. Their numbers are dwindling by the day, and they don't have enough kids to go to battle with the drones. So theirs only one other option if they want to survive the wheel, Escape...

So from there on Aleena and her group are traveling from their sector to the gray sector where their is talk of helicopters and a way off the island. But theirs just one problem! They have to go through enemy territory to get to the gray sector, the only sector that holds any hope of escape! So as you can see they have a constant battle in front of them if their going to make it to the gray sector and find a way of the island, alive!

It was truly an adrenaline ride that was action-packed, that kept me glued to the pages craving more! I can't wait until I can get back into this sickening, yet captivating world that Lisa Stasse created! She say an amazing imagination and surly shows it in this book!

Overall this book was everything I could of hoped for an more! It was full of action, adventure, friendship, betrayals, romance, and most of all, a fight for what they believed in! It just can't get any better then that! This book will forever hold a special place in my heart and bookshelf, and will go down as one of my favorite books of ALL TIME!!!
