About the Book
In the future there is no disease. There is no war. There is no discontent. All citizens are complacent members of the Global Governance. But one summer is about to change everything.
Keeva Tee just turned fifteen. All of her dreams are about to come true. She s about to make the trip to Monarch Camp to be imprinted with her intended life partner. One day they ll have perfect kids and a perfect life. But in her happy, carefree life in the Ocean Community, something weighs on her mind. She hears whispers about anomalies citizens who can t be imprinted. No one knows what happens to them, but they never seem to come back.
When Keeva arrives at Monarch Camp, her worst nightmare becomes a reality she is an anomaly. After imprinting, the people she loves change, and she starts to doubt everything she s ever believed. What if freedom and individuality have been sacrificed for security? And what if the man who solves all the problems is the very man who s created them and what if he isn't a man at all?
When Keeva finds a warning carved under a bunk bed she begins to understand: nonconformity will be punished, dissent is not an option, insurgents will be destroyed.
What would you give to live in a world free of war. A world no longer plagued with disease and to never know what hunger felt like. A world like that would be something to see. That's the world Keeva lives in, but of course nothing is ever what it seems.
I have to be honest I was a true fan of Keeva she annoyed me at times with her self doubt than the quick 180 I can conquer world all by myself. Her maturity had me questioning how old she actually was and maybe I was reading a flash back. As things progress and she started to witness the world transform before her eyes I started to appreciate her ignorance.
Throughout Anomalies we were given a glimpse into the saw world of Calix, who happens to be the leader of Sabbatical City son. I was somewhat disappointed that he didn't have a larger presence in the story, but what he lacked he made up for by keeping me well intrigued.
Anomalies put me in the mind set if Divergent or something similar. The writing was very detailed and suspenseful which kept me turning the pages. I will admit there were times when the story took the scenic route. The secondary characters added life to the story. I'm convinced a few of them could carry their sub story.
Sadie’s and Colette’s creative minds have honestly created a world that makes you question things and wonder. Like many I will be anxiously awaiting the sequel.
