Liked it? Loved it? Gotta have more of it? Personal note: I loved this one, its a great story that also gives you some wonderful discussion and thinking topics of human nature. Plenty of excitement, mystery, tension, and enough “will they, won’t they” romance to please most readers. It you enjoy Artificial Intelligence and robots who take on a life of their own, this might also catch your fancy. Also, there is a pervasive undercurrent of morality, bias, racism, and a questioning of what it means to be “human.” This is a fantastic read for sci-fi junkies, fans of apocalypse stories, and those who like to read about how mankind’s obsession with technology might effect us in the future. It has everything I like: mystery, high-stakes, scientific experiments, and end-of-the-world consequences. This is the first book in the trilogy (all three are out now) and it grabbed me right away. Ok, are you back? Do you see what I mean? It has a GREAT hook.Īnd I’m happy to say the book delivered on its promise. Go ahead and watch the trailer right now. However, after I watched the book trailer (see below), I knew I had to read this book. So, when Partials was recommended to me via, I was naturally suspicious. After all, The Hunger Games was a surprisingly fantastic addition to the YA Dystopian genre. It seems almost every YA sci-fi book is heralded as being for “fans of The Hunger Games,” which makes many of us, rightly, suspicious. Playing on our curiosity of and fascination with the complete collapse of civilization, Partials is, at its heart, a story of survival, one that explores the individual narratives and complex relationships of those left behind, both humans and Partials alike-and of the way in which the concept of what is right and wrong in this world is greatly dependent on one’s own point of view.
As she tries desperately to save what is left of her race, she discovers that that the survival of both humans and Partials rests in her attempts to answer questions about the war’s origin that she never knew to ask.
But sixteen-year-old Kira is determined to find a solution. Reduced to only tens of thousands by a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island. Humanity is all but extinguished after a war with Partials-engineered organic beings identical to humans-has decimated the population. For fans of The Hunger Games, Battlestar Galactica, and Blade Runner comes the first book in the Partials Sequence, a fast-paced, action-packed, and riveting sci-fi teen series, by acclaimed author Dan Wells.
