As you may have seen from my bookstagram stories if you follow me, I got very excited after I'd finished this book in the early hours and I had to calm myself down before writing this review but seriously, just WOW. This is the first book in a brand new dystopian sci-fi series called the Elyrian Chronicles and I have to admit that this isn't usually my genre so it takes a lot for this genre to really grab me and this book certainly did that, I'm a fully fledged fan girl now that is how much I loved this read. It is based in the future after a solar flare wipes out earth besides for a select amount of people who were chosen to live in a new subterranean city to survive, however they still need supplies from the radiation death trap that is the surface and humanities only hope lies with a new genetically modified species called Auroreans but as things become tougher underground the Auroras question whether they are being treated as valued citizens or slaves. It is really hard to review this book without giving spoilers but it is so gripping and incredibly written that you can't help but fly through it and desperately need the other books to continue the journey and answer so many questions. I've already told the author this and I genuinely believe that in a few years this could be the next big book series and even has the potential to be turned into great movies so watch this space and definitely give it a read because you won't regret it!
