The Fire Sermon
You can find this, and other reviews, on my blog. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. What a story. I loved every second of this book.
I don’t want to give too much away, but the disparity between how the Alpha and Omegas live is fascinating - the delicate balance between keeping each pair separate (but not too separate) is essentially what this series hinges on. At a basic level, there’s nothing new here - Oppressed People rebel against Privileged Overlords, but as always, the devil is in the details. The world building is fantastic, and the society is like nothing I’ve seen before.
The characters were great, I was particularly taken by Kip and his outlook on everything. I did find the romance aspects of the story a little lacking - while I like Cass, I didn’t warm up to her enough to give much credit to the effect she apparently has over the two men she encounters. That said, there isn’t much reference to the romance, and when it does happen, it’s easily shrugged off.
This is definitely a great start to the series, and I very much look forward to seeing how the next instalment plays out, especially after the twists at the end.
