Sevara: Dawn of Hope

*The author provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
Part 1: 3 stars
Part 2: 2,5 stars
Part 3: 4 stars
"The Codex is our moral code. No one is higher than the law. Those who brake the law must be broken"
Sevara is a young girl who lives in a world where girls are dropped of at orphenages at birth and then are either sold to the highest bidder or cast out on the street where death is waiting around the corner. These are the better options. Plexus is at war and what better way to use girls as a means to clear mines? It's save to say women are not appreciated or valued very highly, merely a means to reproduce.
Sevara: Dawn of Hope is well written and has an all-knowing narrator that sometimes caused some confusion as to who was speaking. The characters are divers and quite realistic (I find that you can compare some elements of the book on some level to the political problems of this day and age (view spoiler) The storyline was quite complex and sometimes too complex. On several occasions I got confused and had to re-read parts of the book to make sure I understood.
"At first you'll feel a little dizzy, then a little numb, then you won't feel anything at all. My name is Sevara, and these girls are coming with me."
Like I previously said, Sevara is one of those girls who were dropped of at an orphanage at a very young age and get cast out on the street when the time has come. But Severa is special. She's brave, stands up for what she believes and is fiercely loyal. In the book she is described to have a "stubborn righteousness" and I believe that these two words describe her perfectly, I could't find two better words to describe her. Unfortunately I didn't feel a connection with her or with any of the other characters, at least for the better part of the book, towards the end, the last 20 pages or so, I began to feel involved. Me not feeling connected to the characters is one of the reasons why I gave this book "only" 3 stars, I actually would have given this book 2 stars but oddly enough the 'not feeling connected to the characters' made sense to me. (view spoiler) Even though I didn't feel a connection with the characters I could't put the book down (for part 1 at least, it took some time for me to finish part 2).
I quite enjoyed reading this book and I would say to check it out if you like the blurb. I will say this, on a scale of 1 to Celaena, Sevara is a solid 6. Celaena being the ultimate strong, kick ass, bad ass female lead.
I didn't think I would want to read what would come next but part 3 truly saved everything and made me curious as to what will happen next.
