But..
You survive!
Gods of Anthem is Logan Keys break out novel and what an impression this book has made!! I have to admit that I usually do not read the dystopian genre; however, I was drawn to this book so I agreed to review pre-publication. This story takes place in area known as Anthem where people are living in a world that is full of despair, ruin, wreckage, illness. Everyone is trying to survive in a world that is doing everything it can to wipe them out. Then add in an island that sick people are forced to live on, zombies, returning from death, and a man who is a machine...yeah you have a perfect mixture for chaos.
Although this story is Liza's story it is told from a dual POV between Liza and Tommy. Having dual POV allows a unique look at situations and makes the story richer.
While reading Gods of Anthem I found myself thinking "omg" "no way" and a Myriad of other explanatives. This story captivated me from the beginning to the end -- there were no lul's -- just the need to keep turning the pages faster and faster! If you enjoy Dystopian stories then you really cannot go wrong with Gods of Anthem.
I cannot wait for the story to continue -- and I think this story has potential to thrive as The Hunger Games Series did -- so if you liked The Hunger Games you really must read Gods of Anthem!
