Isn’t it lovely to get to read a new book that is the first of series? I usually find out about books when there’s already been 1 or 2 previous books in the series or saga published and then have to delay reading it as I HAVE to read books in the correct order – Are you like that?
This book’s synopsis is really intriguing, it’s set in a futuristic world with technologies that we can only dream about in today’s world – Have a read…
My Thoughts
Wow! What a world. This is not my usual type of book, but I am so happy to have come out of my comfort zone. The world that Louvie has created is a dystopian, science fiction one that sadly mirrors some of the bad parts of our society in many ways.
The law is that babies must be born light-skinned, with an IQ of 120 and no illness or genetic deformities and it is Peter’s day job to fix any issues.
How disturbing is this? It reminded me of Hitler and his Nazi ideology of ‘Cleansing‘ and creating a perfect world of the perfect people back before World War 2 put an end to it.
Also, the skin colour issue is reminiscent to the issues facing BAME communities across the world, and although we do not need to hide away from the governments, we still have issues being protested my many movements today including BLM, who are trying to create a fair world for all skin tones.
The IQ issue reminds me of certain attitudes in the UK and other similar countries in which any refugees are made to feel stupid or less human if they don’t speak the national language, I’ve witnessed first hand certain people shout loudly at them, like they are stupid when they don’t understand what’s being said, in English – so frustrating!
So as you can see there’s much to mirror our own society in this book.
The book really gets going when Peter meets a dark-skinned Susa and then has to figure out if what he was led to believe is true?
What a gem of a story – I didn’t want to end – I cannot wait for the next book in the series!
