A review by tabatha_shipley
Day Zero by Kelly deVos
4.0
What I Did Like:
+The political side to this book makes it somehow more terrifying and relevant. I loved the detail put into crafting this world.
+The technology used feels realistic and possible in the best ways. Nothing feels too over the top.
+The cast of characters is wonderful. I love the inclusion of step siblings and a child who is a Type 1 diabetic. Too often dystopian books don’t consider those people on medications to live, this one does.
Who Should Read This One:
-Dystopian fans will enjoy the way this is crafted to be realistic and terrifyingly possible.
My Rating: 4 Stars
I will say that this one came up on my Goodreads as being shelved as “mystery/thriller” by previous readers. Respectfully, this is science fiction. With coding being so relevant and the technology experts the author had to consult, I’m not sure we could see this one as anything else. Add to that the fact that dystopian books are traditionally science fiction and I think my argument is made.
