Unwanted by Amanda Holohan
5.0
Yay for a fellow Aussie and Blue Mountains resident.
I don’t know what it is but whenever I go into a book written by an Aussie author I expect it to be dull (I think because basically all the mainstream epic fantasies we get are from America so everything looks poorer in comparison). But I really really enjoyed Unwanted and found the world and the writing to be as good as and surpass some of the popular American fantasies/dystopians. It annoys me that books this good don’t reach the international market very often when they deserve to.
I found minor similarities with Divergent and a few others but it really did not matter because Unwanted was so so unique and awesome and such a page turner. I constantly wanted to know what was going to happen next and I loved all the mysteries behind why things were the way they were and who could be trusted.
I’m definitely going to be looking for a copy of the sequel and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
