Luminary is the best of the Anomaly trilogy yet. It has everything! Romantic tension (CLEAN), an evil king, a charming prince, sinister plot twists and....oh yes, it's Dystopian.Thalli and her friends have just escaped from the State. Stakes raise as they enter New Hope, a town of Nuclear War survivors. The people of New Hope just want to live in peace, but Jason, King of Athens, Texas, has other plans. He wants to dominate, and he'll use any means necessary (including airborne pharmaceuticals) to accomplish that goal. Only Thalli, an Anomaly with emotions, can try and help set things right.Top Three Reasons to read Luminary:A) It’s Dystopian fiction written from a Christian worldview. In other words, Luminary is CLEAN! I love the fact that I can share this series with my girls during their teen years. Luminary is Mom Approved!B) Krista’s writing is phenomenal. Her descriptions are beautiful and vivid. Her dialogue is fast-paced and relevant. All 5 senses were ignited throughout the book. I saw what Thalli saw and felt what she felt. I was confused with her when she had tough decisions to make, and I cried with her over the loss of loved ones. Her characters are real and three-dimensional. As an author, Krista hasn’t disappointed me yet.C) Finally, I loved the world Krista built. With so much Dystopian YA on the market today, it can be hard to find something new and unique. I guarantee you are getting that with this book. From the underground world of the State to the modern day Rome of Athens, Texas, Thalli’s world jumps right of the page, drawing you in and making you a part of her generation. I was so excited to read this book. I really enjoyed book one and so did my daughter! I actually submitted a short story for a chance to win an autographed book and my submission won so it was even more exciting to read.I gave this book a solid 4 stars, I really wanted to give it 5 star rating but I couldn’t help but feel as this one was a little too similar to The Hunger Games in certain parts.
