Failsafe by Anela Deen
5.0
I have been blessed! Recently I've been lucky enough to read some pretty incredible books and I'm so happy to say that Failsafe by Anela Dean was another one of those books!
Firstly I loved the plot of this book. It follows our main character Soleil who's struggling to find her place in the world while simultaneously trying to adapt to having Epilepsy. Which would be a lot easier if she didn't live in a world completely controlled by computers following the attempted extinction of the entire human race. You can see why I was intrigued.
I have to say that the plot is what really kept me going in this book, although nothing about this book let me down. Firstly Anela's writing style is easy to read and enjoyable. It keeps you interested without being an info-dump. I loved how she wrote the dynamic between Echo and Soleil. They're very different characters and both were written in such an interesting way.
I will say that another one of my most favorite parts of this book was the villain- a super computer created to make sure that Echo never successfully completes his mission. It blended both human and computer characteristics in such a terrifying way. It's been a long way since I've been seriously impressed by the villain in a story.
Overall I gave Failsafe a 5/5 star rating because it was enjoyable to read, flowed very well, Anela's writing style was simple but eloquent, and I adored both of the main characters. If you like post apocalyptic, future, and sci-fi I think you'll enjoy this book. Bonus points if you like a cute love story!
Thank you to Netgalley for sending me a copy of this book in return for my honest review. I am excited to see what else we get from Dean and if you'd like to pre-order the book the kindle version is currently on pre-sale for .99 cents! You can find it on Amazon!
