Thank you to the author, H.J. Lawson , for the free ebook from a giveaway.
The reason I entered the giveaway was that I found the cover was very captivating and eye-catching and then I saw the genre was Sci-Fi (my favorite). So, I thought I should read Purenet. I'm glad that I have read the ebook now.
Purenet is amazing! Knowing this was a dystopian just got me more happier (We are having dystpioan fever here in Indonesia :D).
I like Skylier, she has a strong characteristic. I think the idea of family bond, reading minds ability, is brilliant. It's clever that the story can keep the reader's curiousity up. Why cannot Skylier read her father's mind? Surely, there are a lot of surprises I could hardly breathe. This family thing really touched my heart. Oh, and Callie is very brave, I like her. There are some funny scenes too, so I bet you won't be bored.
About the layout, the text is using Align Text Left. I don't know whether the paperback version uses it too, but I think Justify is better.
Another minus of this book: Purenet is too short! Oh, my! I just didn't realize I have finished reading it. Sorry, I wonder if the ebook is a complete version, the ebook is 107 pages long while in goodreads is stated 166 pages , so I guess there should be a few chapters more?
There are still many things I don't know about. Everytime I turned to the next page, I wished I could get more information about The Empire, the six Sanctions (maybe the name of each Sanction and the characteristic), Dax (so sad there is only one chapter of Dax's POV), about being a Host, why the UVA wasn't dangerous anymore, and about The Sanction Games.
But it's fine, I understand this is a series book. The next book must be more interesting and informative.
So, once again, Purenet is amazing. I hope a great publisher here in Indonesia could publish Purenet (in Indonesian language of course), because Purenet is worth it.
Thank you.
