Thankyou to the author, for the gifted copy.
A very short read I'd suggest you to read this after you finish reading the duet, the childhood friends to enemies to lovers is such a soft warm trope, yet angsty. This is SUCH a unique concept and I can't wait for their novel to come out. I NEED to know what happens. This is supposed to be some short fun read but it's Dystopian nature makes me think about those who are actually sold away and abandoned by their parents who didn't deserve them. I like how the author slips in real world issues like classism, sexism, etc. These two characters have so much potential.
This book ends in a cliff hanger.

As someone familiar with this world, I cannot wait to see how this novella connects. I enjoyed meeting the characters!
Riven is the pre-quel to the Unchained Series by Everly Claire. It is a very quick read that’s sets up the back story for the series.
Claire sets up a dark dystopian version of modern times. In this book, Bex is a young woman thinking back on the story of how she got where she is and of Riven, or 283696A7.
The story that Claire writes is short in length but extremely intense. The world she develops is one in which injustice runs rampant.
I highly suggest reading this before starting the series so you start with background, but it can be read at anytime. If you like dark dystopian reads, you will enjoy the beginnings of this series.
Make sure you read the warnings prior to reading as there are many potential triggers present.

Just a taste. It took just a taste of The Unchained Series and I’m hooked. This novella gives you just enough to fall into this dystopian world where we learn about the rampant abuse and poor treatment of certain people (slaves). We follow a tragic forbidden love story between a naive young girl and a slave boy next door. I am so excited to continue reading this series and discover more of Everly Claire’s writing.

This is one of those books that takes your heart, scrunches it, and makes you cry for what could be. A dystopian alternative that is not unlike one some people would love to see in our current society. It made me cry because I cannot stop comparing this story to stories of real people who were treated as objects at some time in our history. This is a very short novella that introduces the societal norms found on the first book of The Unchained series.
