ONE AWE INSPIRING TREAT!!!
Completely blown away! One refreshing spin with all the passion and wonder you’re captivated from the start. Witnessing their trials and tribulations as they strive for survival trying to understand friends from foes. Sarah definitely shows her true colors with this beautiful, mind blowing wonder. All the insight, research, she’s one incredible and gifted author with an amazing imagination and eye for detail. The dynamics and presentation in layer upon layer that you peel back with each page you fall in love with the tale and the characters one page at a time. The characters and their personalities are original, tangible and well developed with the exact amount of flaws that bring it to life spectacularly. The scenes are graphically detailed and described so colorfully to give you a full understanding and the realism that play out fluidly from each scenario without a hitch. Remarkable job Sarah, thanks for sharing.
Mallory is different and in her world it means that she’s an outcast; forced to live in a place of sand and survival. Here among the struggle to live she meets those like her and being different is celebrated.
November 29, 2129 is the year in which this story takes place. After there has been a WWIII, the government decides to label everything that is different as irrelevant and irrelevant you cannot check, so people want to get rid of that.
A beautiful story of 2 young people who experience the world differently and have difficulty getting to their emotions or keeping them under control. A blossoming love between 2 people who are also chased by their own community from jealousy and envy
I thought this was a really good story with a clear message. Because you are different from others, you are not bad! That you see and experience the world differently does not mean that you do not participate and can make a contribution.
I’m sorry the story ends in this part. I was so engrossed in the story that I did not realize that the end was approaching without getting the answers that Mallory was looking for ….. I hope the next part will not be long in coming
A must-read for anyone who knows what it is like to live with Autism
I received this story, this is my voluntary review.
Irrelevant is a fast-paced and well-written read. It has drama, intrigue, and romance with hints action and humor. I appreciated the vivid imagery that grabbed and held my attention throughout. I also enjoyed the ups and downs of the story kept me invested in the outcome. The connection between Mallory and Cristan had me rooting for their happiness. Definitely, looking forward to the next book in this series.
*I received an eARC from the author. This does not affect my review.*
From the start, I was exciting about this story. I could tell it was one I wouldn’t be able to put down…
And guess what?
I was right!
It’s funny since I’ve known for years that I was neural-divergent but only recently tested (still waiting…) but it’s something I also noticed in reading. I’m always drawn to those characters who are more like anti-heroes, and morally gray, never really one side or the others. So Dystopians are something I’m always finding on my ‘Favorite’ books list! This one might just be one of the Top!
I loved the characters, Cristan was easily my favorite from the start, but Mallory was super easy for me to relate to, more so even than many other characters I read about, and I loved seeing her realize that she isn’t weird, or broken, or even unwanted…Irrelevant. Instead the same things she was taught make her wrong was the same things that make her strong. Being different can be powerful, and I loved seeing this message to clear in this story. I can’t wait to read more of this series, you’ll definitely want the next book close by!
If you enjoyed reading Divergent and/or Razorland, you’ll probably enjoy this!
I instantly fell for the main characters, Mallory and Cristan. Maybe Mallory was a bit on the weepy side, but she’s been thrown into unknown surroundings and is not used to people caring about her.
I like that the book brings up Autism and Neuro Divergency, not a common subject in any novel, let alone in a YA. Great work!
We don’t get all the answers about this dystopian world, and it keeps you guessing – and wanting more, of course!
What I had some difficulties with was the amount of physical descriptions of Cristan – and Mallorys glaring. It was too much and too repetitive. I also thought the ending was a bit too abrupt. More disappointingly than with the cliffhanger I’m sure the author intended, but obviously I wanna know what happens next!
I received an ARC from the author and promised to give a review.
Another epic read from author Sarah Addison-Fox!
I absolutely LOVE dystopian! One of my favorite genres and this story absolutely delivered in all areas for me. The world-building was spot on and gripping. Made me angry as the characters start seeing/realizing/understanding what the “G” has been doing. Also, made me curious in learning the WHY of what they have been doing.
Which brings me to Cristian who is absolutely so sweet! That man has a heart of gold right there, but I’m nervous to see what unfolds concerning his history. Anyone else on edge? *bites nails* He makes a perfect companion for Mallory and was so awesome seeing him her respect and care for her. You go Cristian!
Speaking of Mallory, she was unlike any heroine I’ve read. The way she views the world was inspiring and beautiful. In so many ways, her story made me embarrassed of my own ignorance concerning autism. The author did an incredible job of showing how beautiful their minds are and how no one needs to be afraid of their “difference.” If I had been a young woman like Mallory, I would totally say that this is a love letter written just for me. <3
Overall, this was a very well done story and I am on edge in knowing what will come next. A must read for dystopian fans!
