Nameless
by Jennifer Jenkins
Doesn’t this book sound amazing?? Well, believe me when I tell you – IT IS! You *need* this book in your life. Yes, it’s “yet another” YA Dystopian – but I promise you, it feels so different and unique, you will not feel like you’re reading “yet another” anything. I absolutely LOVED the world that Ms. Jenkins created for us, and I felt like I was there with the characters through everything that happened. I could envision what Ram’s Gate looked like, as if from an eagle’s eye view, because that is how the author described it. I could see the soldiers tromping through town, imagining them in their Roman-style uniforms (that’s how I envisioned them!); and I cringed whenever the Seer came on scene, visualizing her in a black, Nazi-style getup with tight trousers tucked into jackboots and a whip in her hand. I could not just see, but *feel*, the mud caked on Zo’s face, and I felt her shame every time she encountered the Gate Keeper. I felt Zo’s hatred of the Ram, her compassion for the Nameless, her horror at seeing her little sister at the entrance to Ram’s Gate and her unending devotion to keeping her safe. This, truly, is the mark of a great writer – the ability to make you see, hear, feel everything the characters are going through. If for no other reason than that, you need this book!
But there are so many more reasons you need this book, I promise. I will not list them in detail - I promise, no spoilers! - but the pros of this book far outweigh the cons. Okay, so that’s because there aren’t any cons!! But you get what I mean. I could not stand to let go of my Kindle while I was reading Nameless, and I devoured it as quickly as I could. Even just writing this review has my heart beating faster and my stomach vacillating between butterflies and being tied in knots as I wonder how much longer it will be before I can get my hands on book 2! I cannot say enough good things about this book, and although I could go on and on, I feel I would be repeating myself because I just want you to know HOW AMAZING THIS BOOK IS AND HOW MUCH YOU WILL LOVE READING IT AND WHAT A COUP IT IS THAT MONTH9BOOKS GRABBED THIS NOVEL FOR PUBLICATION BEFORE THOSE BIG PUBLISHING HOUSES GOT WIND OF WHAT AN AMAZING STORY JENNIFER JENKINS HAS TOLD! Do you feel me? Do you get what I’m saying?! I hope you do!! Because I want to shout from the rooftops that anyone and everyone who loves all that is good about young adult fiction, dystopian world-building, phenomenal character creation and development, and gorgeous writing MUST. READ. THIS. Trust me, you will kick yourself if you don’t try it! Happy reading, good luck, and please do let me know if you read the book and how much you love it! I HAPPILY GIVE THIS BOOK 5 STARS!
