In my opinion, the main strike against this book is the summary on the back cover. It doesn’t really grab a reader’s attention, and cheesy lines like, “Will Abalus survive and why does the villain in the story, the Cardinal, want only his own Holy Writings to be the basis for re-education?” were almost enough to make me pass this by because it seems so cliché and melodramatic.
Fortunately, my curiosity, combined with my love for Dystopian fiction, made me give Abalus: In the Beginning by Stephen L. Padley a try, and I’m glad I did. I’m looking forward to the next part of Abalus’ adventure.
