Divided

BEN. ANDREWS

4 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

Twenty years ago, a single vote shattered a nation.

Now, an impenetrable wall separates the elite of New Albion from the struggling survivors of old. One side thrives on progress. The other fights to exist.

Maya has spent her life in the shadows, blaming the past for the prison she was born into. When a rebellion calls, she answers, ready to bring down the regime that stole her future.

Her brother Liam has been granted a rare opportunity: the Freedom Day Initiative, a government program granting select citizens entry into New Albion. But inside the glittering world of power and control, he uncovers secrets that shake his faith in everything he knows.

With rebellion igniting and loyalties being tested, brother and sister find themselves on opposite sides of a war that could reshape their country-or destroy it.

Can they bridge the divide, or will the wall between them be the one thing that truly lasts?

4 ⭐ - Thank you to the author for the ARC so I can leave an honest review! This is a dystopian novel that follows siblings Maya and Liam and is set in a world where a nation has been divided due to a historic vote on the use of AI. It's scary to think that we are not exactly far away from a future like this and the novel really reflects issues within our own society now. We focus on Maya and Liam and their individual roles in a wider society, and their fight for survival. Both siblings take a different path in search for a better future for them. Overall, I really enjoyed this story and I'm left curious to see where the next novel will take us.
