I have been praying to the Lord to be a bit more humble. But there are few things I enjoy more than being right. I wasn’t sure what to do with this, at first. When An Author Gives You Something You Didn’t Know You Needed Thank You To Balzer + Brey/HarperCollins and Edelweiss for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. So this will be shorter than most reviews, especially considering how near and dear I hold this duology (right now duology- it could go either way, but there is no official word and the end- generally speaking- no spoilers- could serve either purpose). It doesn’t deserve such horrendous treatment. I definitely don’t want to spoil anything in Deathless Divide. There is a very early turn of events at which point, you just can’t say much of, well… anything without spoiling much, of well… everything. It is not only better than Dread Nation, but in furthering the story and characters, it has made Dread Nation a better book, which I could not fathom a possibility. Deathless Divide didn’t just match Dread Nation.
Rarely does a sequel match its predecessor. However, there isn’t a formal review anywhere. I read Dread Nation, loved Dread Nation, long before my site came into existence and therefore never formally reviewed it. This is not out of recognition or acknowledgement but out of respect of the voices and communities that have the authority to be heard and should be given the space to do so.Ī Word On Dread Nation (There will be spoilers for Dread Nation Only) I will stick to my lane and speak to the story. There are so many things about Deathless Divide’s brilliance that are not my voice, my lane or my position to speak. then our recent bonding over Weekend Update- plus she’s been living in my head, gargoyles and all… so now I figure we are full on blogging bromance like…īut her review is just more succinct and lovely in ways mine could never be and so please go read it… Although we did both use the same exact quote from Katherine Like whaaaa…. Please check out her review as it hits on notes I did not. As in much as we read it at the same time and then screamed at each other via Twitter DMs. After I finished my review of Deathless Divide, I went back and read Sam Writerly Way’s review because we loosely did a buddy read of Deathless Divide.
