Hope and Lies (The Abredea Series Book 1) by C.H. Lyn – Review by Allyson Ware

Hope and Lies by C.H. Lyn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dystopian novels are my favorite. I feel like there are not enough of the genre out there, but let me tell you, this is a great one. The author knows how to create amazing characters, a world that you can easily place yourself into, and a plot that flows seamlessly. I started this novel absolutely despising Juliana, but by the end I wanted to be her best friend. She starts out stuck up (as you would expect from a high caste) and she is put in her place by becoming a white star. I truly feel that she realizes by the end that she is supposed to be a moon.

The only bad thing I have to say about this novel is that it can be a little dense in parts, but that is because the author is creating this amazing world with explicit detail that cannot be missed. In my eyes, that does not deserve one less star; I cannot fault an author for detail. I also love that the storylines fall together by the end of this book. May is one of my favorite characters because she is an old lady that wants to help everyone she can. She ends up saving Anthony’s life, but I will not go into detail about that. You will just have to read and find out for yourself. I cannot wait to dive into the next in this series because I just cannot get enough!
