(This is a beautiful cover, by the way.)
★★★☆☆ Rating: 3/5stars
I would have given this a way higher rating if there weren't so many open-ended questions that I was waiting to be answered... but then again, this is a standalone. I was really curious about whether the Posts were actually immune to another Reduction, etc.
I felt that the Posts and Luddites were written extremely well, and their positions, standings, and manners were depicted perfectly in a manner that was easy to understand and relate to. Luddites were the "smart" ones. Posts were inferior, even though they had done nothing to deserve it, and they were no less than the Luddites.
The post apocalypse world was written pretty well, and realistically. This could also be seen as a warning to us, right? Haha. As if I could find any places that sold exclusively organic food with no genetic modifications without breaking my wallet. How did the Luddites do it?
I felt that the characters were definitely complex but they didn't develop much. I especially loved Ro, and at the end of the book, when Elliot gave her the name Tomorrow, I had shivers going down my back. It was so perfect and symbolic to the novel, and when they boarded the ship, I truly felt hope for their post-apocalyptic world! Everyone was easy to sympathize with and my heart especially broke for Kai and Elliot. What a jerk!
I wanted to punch him for the majority of the novel unfortunately. :l
Anyways. This is a fantastic retelling of Austen's Persuasion and the way Peterfreund kind of "fooled" us by thinking that this was going to be a futuristic tale, we were wrong in a way. It was futuristic, but not in the "advanced technology way."
It was like a rewind into the past... but in the future! And yes, it made sense.
This was a cleverly thought out novel, but I felt that there was room for a lot more development and the ending was too hastily and perfectly tied up.
I wish there was a sequel because I would DEFINITELY read it!
None at the moment, but stay tuned!!!
