My Review
I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
Sovereignty is a young adult dystopian novel based in the 23rd century. The Sovereign Regime is able to keep track of everyone because of a chip that is put in everyone’s wrist after their born. It’s the nightmare that many people are afraid could to happen with all of the advances in technology.
Anjenique Hughes’ writing flows well and is easy to follow. It’s told from the POV of Goro who is 18 years old and she does a good job of making it sound like it’s narrated by an 18-year-old guy.
Goro hates the SR and hates his life because of them. He thinks people should have more personal freedom and wants to find a way to take the SR down. I like how he knows that’s what he wants to do from the beginning. But is it even possible?
I definitely recommend Sovereignty for anyone who enjoys young adult dystopian novels. I can’t wait for the next one! FYI: there is profanity and violence.
