Commentary Supposing Books Defiance (Defiance #1)
While the other girls in the walled city-state of Baalboden learn to sew and dance, Rachel Adams learns to track and hunt. While they bend like reeds to the will of their male Protectors, she uses hers for sparring practice.When Rachel's father fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the city's brutal Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector: her father's apprentice, Logan—the boy she declared her love to and who turned her down two years before. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father's survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself.
As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can't be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making.

Check out Amanda the Book SlayerRating : 1.5 StarsRecommendation : I really dont think I can.The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this book is Cover Lust! Seriously is that not an awesome cover? I mean it oozes Bad*ss and action packed right? I know that is exactly what I thought too. So for the Cover I am going to have to say it won all 5 Marks for getting noticed and wanting to read/buy. Way to go Marketing team!I wish that I could say that what I found in the pages were up to mySurprisingly excellent :) Loved Rachel, Oliver,and Logan... a close knit family (even if not by blood). The closeness of them had a smile on my face, especially the moments between Rachel and Oliver. Her father Jared (who has disappeared ) we don't get much screen time with but we get a good sense of him through the other's memories. An honorable man.The commander... a good villain but oooooh! I volunteer to kick him on the balls! Haha... snake of a man with no conscience. Living under the rule
I'm no longer a daughter.No longer a granddaughter.No longer a girl with dreams. With hope.I'm a weapon, now. I hate this book with the heat of a thousand suns! The "post-apocalyptic" setting was one of the most ridiculous settings I've ever come across:> The "city" of Baalboden was a glorified fortified village. > We have not idea who are the Rowansmarks exactly and why they are building weapons to obliterate other communities starting with Baalboden. > No idea what the heck is "The
A thoroughly melodramatic misfire that ends like a B-grade Godzilla movie. Yeah, that definitely describes Defiance to a tee, I don't think I've been bashed so hard so many times over the head with manufactured emotions since, well, ever. Whether it's the melodramatic overwriting, the cruel, harsh, cookie cutter dystopian landscape, the one note antagonist, or all the awful things that happen to Rachel in the first chapter of this seventy one chapter mess, wow what an annoying book. I'm sure
In a futuristic setting with walled-in cities to stave off a monstrous killing machine, Defiance is a mix of dystopian and fantasy that has a very interesting premise, although its characters did leave me feeling kind of uncomfortable, as well as annoyed. As it started out I began to really like our female lead, Rachel. She was tough and confident, knowing how to take care of herself, unlike other women in this city. As the book progresses, I found she made a lot of impromptu decisions - trying
I can just imagine the conversation that must have taken place with this bookSo, Ive got this manuscript about a girl who lives in this fantasy settingFantasies arent big right now. Can you make it dystopian?Um, I guess we could just say that the world got destroyed and this is whats leftover?Great, lets go with that. That fact that it makes no sense will be beside the point. Tell me about the main character.Her name is Rachel, and her dad is missing so she has to go find him using the skills
5 FREAKING STARS.I LOVED IT.Haven't read anything so strong, powerful and equally emotional in a long time.The plot, the story, the characters, everything, was so powerful, it seeped into me, my brain, my mind and made me wept. I haven't cried since finishing Daughter of Smoke and Bone a couple of months back.(':I LOVE Logan and Rachel. I can't wait to see what happens in Deception.All I want to do to this book is:Maybe I am already doing this in bed. But thats for me to know.GO READ THIS BOOKS
