Literally, around every dark corner was another crazy surprise, and I basically couldn’t put the book down because I needed to know all the things. It was the type of book that answered my questions, and then left me with new ones so I was never, ever bored.īut while I was in the dark, I was never overwhelmed or confused. I was constantly guessing, and I did not have a clue as to what was going to happen next. The reader is figuring things out, getting clues, learning potential information at the same time as the characters. They are as much in the dark as we are, which makes things kind of fun. But the key here is, neither do the characters. No, this was certainly original, so don’t let the blurb scare you as it did me!Īs the book starts out, we know nothing about what is going on. At all! I mean, sure there are a few minor similarities, but absolutely nothing that made me stop and think “well, I have seen that before!”.
I told you that little story for a reason: This book is not just some mash-up of those other books. Clearly, intrigued won out since I am reviewing the book 😉 Now, I am sure that for some people, comparison attempts work at enticing them, but for me, they usually do the opposite. I was kind of assuming it was going to be some kind of strange mashup of The Maze Runner, Gone, and The Hunger Games, because basically that’s what the synopsis tried to sell it as. Who wants to hear a story? Fabulous! When I first heard about Alive, I was intrigued, but not overly excited. And as they slowly come to understand what this prison is, they realize that the worst and strangest possibilities they could have imagined don’t even come close to the truth. The farther these survivors travel, the worse are the horrors they confront. She frees the others in the room and leads them into a corridor filled with the remains of a war long past. With only her instincts to guide her, she escapes her own confinement-and finds she’s not alone. She has no idea who she is or how she got there. A group of young adults awake in a mysterious enclosed space with no knowledge of who they are or how they got there…and an indomitable young woman must lead them not only to answers but to survival.Ī young woman awakes trapped in an enclosed space. From New York Times bestselling author Scott Sigler comes something utterly new: a gripping sci-fi adventure trilogy in the vein of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Maze Runner.
