However, when I saw someone saying The Hunger Games meets The Matrix meets George Orwell’s 1984 I had to totally agree!

- Latest Review: First Lessons by Lina J. Potter
I thought so too! The constant surveillance and puppeteering of the characters by the government really hints at it, too. Plus, their scheme to run away really seemed to go down that route. I was just happy that one of them might've gotten away.Kelsey Roy wrote: ↑11 Dec 2022, 22:47 I am excited to read the sequel to this book. I found myself comparing this plot a lot to George Orwell’s 1984. Somehow the people in power will always find a way to “observe” and punish people for even the most minor infractions. I thoroughly enjoyed the combination of science fiction and fantasy.

- Latest Review: Terms of Service by Craig W. Stanfill
Oh definitely, one of the first things that popped into my head when I read 'Terms of service' was that it reminded me greatly of Fahrenheit 451. As I mentioned in my review, with dystopian novels, there's always the classic time-honoured trope of a detached society brainwashed by a higher power and the protagonist initially conforming but then realising they are dissatisfied with their life and breaking free from the norm.Emmanuel Onwuanaku wrote: ↑02 Dec 2022, 00:43 What do you think of how the book blends a lot of different pieces of fiction? In my review of the sequel Prophecy of the Heron, which I read first, I mention that the book is Fahrenheit 451 meets The Hunger Games meets The Matrix yet it somehow still works. And the same holds true for the preceding book, Terms of Service.
