I Am Traitor by Sif Sigmarsdóttir
Nov. 15th, 2017 12:12 amThe Blurb On The Back:
London, present day.
Extra-terrestrial visitors have landed.
Amy Sullivan used to feel safe living in a high-rise tower block in the middle of London. Now it’s the worst place to be. As large metallic arms fall from the sky, terrified are transported to an unimaginable world on the other side.
Amy runs until she can’t run any more. Then, she is taken.
Scared and alone, she finds herself inside a spaceship, where those in power will stop at nothing to destroy all she knows.
To save her planet, Amy will have to put faith in those she fears the most. But what if it means becoming a traitor to everyone she has ever loved?
At the end of the world … Who can you really trust?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Sif Sigmarsdóttir’s YA SF novel is a disappointing affair hampered by poor world building, inconsistencies and holes in the plot, two-dimensional characters who never react as you would expect and a main character who is supposed to be the ‘every teen’ who saves the day but who displays zero common sense – all of which is a shame because there are hints at sophisticated politics here that never get a chance to breathe.
I AM TRAITOR was released in the United Kingdom on 7th September 2017. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
