Excerpt from Linus's Blanket - While the end of the world is certainly not a joyous occasion, Enclave, was a joy to read. I picked it up and put it down the same day, after I had finished! Excellent writing, complex characters and satisfying suspense kept me turning pages. Highly Recommended.

This book wasn’t very well written in my opinion. Now I LOVE a fast paced read,. Usually I’m the type of girl to be hurrying along past the long descriptions of the settings, vibes, character descriptions etc that seem to drag on and on. However, surprisingly for this book I was actually yearning for MORE descriptions (or literally any at all.) This book feels like it was written by a middle schooler. I wish Ann Aguirre would’ve included some much needed creepy crawly imagery describing the tunnels, the “freaks,” the characters (in a show not tell way) etc. Because these bits were glossed over so frequently, it felt extremely difficult to get in to this story at any point during the book. For me, there wasn’t a true climax to it either, and I was completely shocked when I got to the end of the audiobook, I would’ve expected there to be at least an hour left of the story.

I gave it a 3.25 star rating however because I LOVE zombie fiction, so this was surprisingly entertaining for me. I won’t be sprinting to read the other books, but I am curious about how they’ll compare to this one.

It gave me exactly the disponian vibes I wanted
The story isn’t that original but it is action packed which is what I love

I expected one of the often similar fantasy/urban-fantasy books without something really special, but this book really surprised me. I really admire the author for her capability of imagining and describing this world and look very much forward to explore more of it and the interesting characters.

Den bara tog slut! Inte ok.

Haha, rekommenderar starkt. Den var spännande. Jag hade inte en aning om vad jag gav mig in på, vilket gav lite extra charm. Ska läsa fortsättningen. Dystopi i en värld som verkligen kollapsat, ser framemot att ser hur världsbyggandet forsätter och hur allt gick till.

LÄS.

A good post-apocalyptic survival story, set largely underground. Fast pace and appealing strong female protagonist kept me interested.

Enclave, Enclave, Enclave.
I first saw this book on this website and I searched and searched all of the Half Price Book stores that I could find. Nada. Not one store had it. Eventually, the library handed over this book to me. FINALLY, I was able to read it.

I just knew it would be good. I had high expectations and it exceeded them. For those of you who follow my reviews know that I'm a huge feminist. This book showed off the main character's agility and talent. Duece, went through the naming ceremony and was made a huntress. With her new partner, Fade, they go on a journey to Nassau, a city in their world that lies underground. They run into people that they call Freaks and meet new people called the Burrowers.

A scandal hits College, the city Duece and Fade live in. Duece steps forward and takes the blame for something she didn't do and is forced to go to Topside. Topside is the world above ground. Fade goes to Topside with Duece. As they travel, they run into more enemies and end up taking others with them named Stalker and Tegan.

After a long ride in Topside, Tegan gets injured and they are in desperate need for help.

This book kept me entertained from the very beginning. I just knew I'd love it. I don't really want to relate this book to The Hunger Games because they're completely different books but if you liked THG, then yes, you will love this book also.

This book was filled with action and romance. It shows the struggles of these teens who consider themselves Elders. The overall story was just so interesting that the reader just isn't sure how it could possibly end. I'm eagerly waiting the second book and I reccommend this to everyone. Short and straight to the point with well-developed characters.
