Review of Black Tiger by Sara Baysinger
Rating:5/5 stars
Inhale. Exhale. I will write this review somehow.
Black Tiger reminded me of Hunger Games meets Divergent but on a whole new level, Ember Carter is a sixteen year-old girl, she lives with her father and brother in the Community Garden, with the constant memory of her lost mother. Career Day is approaching though, and her fate will be soon revealed, but when she meets Forest, the mysterious stranger who seems to know a bit too much about city life and the way the government is run, she’s even less eager to leave the safe haven of the Garden. On Career Day, the future couldn’t look brighter when Ember is the only student assigned the career of a Farmer. But all hopes come to end when she attacks a Defender to save her best friend. Suspected a rebel and sentenced to death, she’s transferred to Frankfort Prison where she will carry out her sentence.
But Frankfort is full of surprises and snotty Patricians. While in prison, Ember learns a dark secret about Forest that makes her question what little she knew about him. And then there’s Rain,the carelessly handsome boy who enjoys instigating her just a bit too much. If THAT’S not enough, the world learns something about Ember even she doesn’t know. A secret that brings her character into question, enlightens her on her mother’s true identity, and ultimately, gives her the power to affect the rise or fall of Ky.

If you saw my Instagram Story you should know how much I LOVED this book. I was compelled from page 1 and I just couldn't stop, till I saw the last page. My eyes froze and my heart stopped. I couldn't believe it. I truly flew through this book, thank to the way it was written, the story, the sadistic manners of Chief Whitcomb, Ember's strength and RAIN. I know I shouldn't love him. But I solemnly swear that I do. I still believe there's something else behind that "jackal", and I am not giving up.
Someone please give me the second book now!
A new world beautifully built, with 3 (4..?) awesome main characters. For the first time we see the story being told mostly from one place only, Frankfort, and I loved this choice, as we truly get to know the whole city, in its beauty and in its ugliness, it makes it REAL.
The end broke my heart though, and I had to remember to inhale and exhale, as everything's always gonna be ok.
Number 1 dytopian of the year!!!!!!! And remember that this week you find Black Tiger FREE on Amazon. Go grab your copy!
