The Community has trained these teens as warriors and assigned them Knights of the Last Order as protectors. Together, they are a force that will be difficult to bring down.
But the Sons of Sheol, of course, are determined to do just that. As the Remnants begin their mission to course-correct humanity by saving and protecting key individuals, their enemies move to stop them, placing the entire world in peril.
Bestselling author Lisa T. Bergren presents the first book in her new YA futuristic dystopian series—The Remnants Novels—fitting in with the current dystopian trend in the marketplace.
Our Thoughts...
After reading so-so books for a few months, I decided to give Remnants a try, since it was to be launched in a few days. I'm not a fan of futuristic novels and have never liked the themes written in those books but since Mrs. Bergren never fails to write an amazing book, I knew I had to read it. While reading this book I felt as if I could really connect with the characters, it drew me in to join the Ailiths on their dangerous adventure to save the world and redirect the confused people to the Maker, who is God. While reading many parts I cried, laughed, and yelled as my characters faced difficult situations, made it through unbearable times, and connected with God. The reason I read this series was not only because of Lisa Bergren's writing but the Christian theme put into it.
The characters blew me away with their unique personalities, Andriana, Ronan, Vidar, Niero, Tressa, and the others. They each had weaknesses and strengths, relying on either their Knight or Remnant to survive and come out strong in the end. The only confusion that I had was pairing a male and female together, Knight and Remnant. That just opens up the option of being attracted to either your Knight or Remnant, allowing a forbidden romance that could wreck everything. But I'm also glad that they were paired up that way, it made things more interesting. Andriana was a tough and courageous main character, a mature seventeen year old who had trained her whole life for this mission. Her and Ronan have a beautiful relationship that I hope continues to blossom as the series progresses. I just wish that they had more moments together throughout the book. Vidar was the funny warrior that made me laugh when things were so serious, I really enjoyed his sense of humor and character. Season of Wonder was so creative, there were twists in the plot that I never expected, the characters were emotionally challanged but so was I reading about what they faced. This is one book that needs to be on every bookshelf, it was that incredible. The second book to the series, Season of Fire, comes out in winter of 2015.
