Title: Split
Author: AK Nevermore
Genre: Spicy Dystopian Scifi Romance
Book Blurb:
On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them…
The city of Glynfyls is burning.
And Flynn Scot is powerless to stop it. Now that his status is in question, the Assembly is calling for his head. The only thing keeping it on his shoulders is the commons rioting with the demand he be made Overlord.
Fluctuating between extremes, Kara’s talent deficiency is becoming critical.
With her body failing and Flynn at the Assembly’s mercy, Kara Scot has no choice but to take his seat and fight for her House. But clearing Flynn’s name and battering herself against the tide of public censure threatens to drag her under.
So does the wave of Humanity Purists marching toward Glynfyls.
No Talent is safe outside the city. Refugees flock to the north fleeing extermination only to find a metropolis torn by prejudice and fear. Unless Flynn and Kara can find a way to survive the machinations of the Assembly, there will be nothing standing between them and annihilation. Because even if they survive the extremists, Titus’s army is following in their wake ready to harvest whatever is left.
My Review:
Flynn and Kara are at the crossroads between two factions with no way out. Can Flynn be controlled or will his split prevent him from becoming what he's been bred to be: overlord? Can Flynn and Kara fight Titus' army coming for their harvest or is the war over before it begins?
Split is a high-stakes dystopian, part of the Price of Talents saga. The more I read, the more akin it is to Game of Thrones. The houses in Assembly vie for political supremacy, not caring for the common people. The world-building is flawless and remains consistent from book to book. The characters are what drives this book and the reason why Split is unputdownable.
The stakes couldn't be higher for Flynn and Kara. The fallout of what they did is crashing around their ears. Action must be taken but are they prepared? This is the main crux of the plot, and I couldn't read fast enough.
AK Nevermore has penned another intoxicating book in this series. I wait with bated breath for the next installment, Overlord.
