This book....
This series...
I don't even know where to start. Typically I read a book & instantly move on to another. There's so many out there that even if I loved the book, I don't get impatient waiting for a sequel. I don't go crazy hyping a book. I just move on.
This one tho.
Lord help me.
I already need the next one!!!
I hype the first one CONSTANTLY!! My bookstagram probably has 20 Heresy themed posts & now this one is out. Dude, pub day is today & already I've read this book twice.
A sequel is oftentimes a reheated generic leftover version of the original. With Dissent, that's a BIG FAT NOPE. This book is 100% a 5 star read & in no way soggy leftovers!!! š¤Ŗ
The world building is so well done that I feel myself living it. The characters - new & old - are diverse, complex & so real. I can't stand some of them. Some I wanna shake some sense in to. Some I wanna snuggle up with. Some I wanna burn the world down for.
The relationships, prejudices, personalities & story line in Dissent are top notch. New characters feel familiar. Strong personalities get even stronger. Losses get more painful. Heartbreak bleeds off the page into me. Parts made me cry so hard I could barely see yet I could NOT stop reading.
Highly recommend this series for anyone that loves indie authors, f'd up dystopian stories with a strong found family storyline, LGBTQ rep & characters you'd unalive people for. If you love an underdog story & BADA$$ rebels fighting for acceptance, equality & most of all LOVE, you might be a Heretic and this series is definitely for you.
I adore Hunger Games...dude, I could talk about it all day. Books, movies characters...I could go on and on about it and never get bored.
This series tho??
Better. 100% better. No question

āBut donāt you know? Jake thought. Dissent is gasoline. And a single spark can set the world on fire.ā Dissent - C.A Campbell
This series has a choke hold on me similar to what The Hunger Games had when it first came out. The main character Shiloh and her friends just want to live the life they love without government interference. The government wants uniformity because uniformity equals peace (more like control). The Heretics saga follows Shiloh and her friends as they fight for what they believe in. Lots of action, lots of friendship and a bunch of different representations of love.
This is a inclusive Ya Dystopian. Thereās multiple races and religions represented. Thereās LGBTQ+ representation as well.
