In a futuristic London, under the rule of a totalitarian government, religion is banned and those who break the law are sent to the waste lands of America to become slaves. Abandoned by their parents, sisters Dawn and Gabby must fend for themselves in the harsh, unforgiving world London has become. When overconfident rule-breaker Gabby is caught shoplifting, she is shipped off to the “colonies” to become a slave. Gabby’s shy sister Dawn must embark on a journey to save her sister, a journey that will change her personality and perspective on the world forever.
Dawn of Rebellion kept me on the edge of my seat. It is well written and well thought out. My favorite character, and the one I could relate to the most, is Dawn, but there’s something to love in every character. The author is very good at transitioning and justifying the point of view of each character, no matter how they differ from one another. This book does a very good job at representing the original values of America, and demonstrates how deeply the hatred of freedom and religion could be embedded in the futuristic world.
I found Dawn of Rebellion to be intriguing and enjoyable. If you value the traditional American idea of freedom and are genuinely fearful of an Orwellian society coming to fruition, this book is a must read. I look forward to the next installment and recommend this book to everyone.
