Included in this collection are:
THE ISLAND -
On one side of the Island’s great Wall, children must abandon their parents and
fend for themselves from the age of ten. Leia is used to it — but she’s always
been curious about what lies beyond. Then she meets Walt, a young man from the
other side of the Wall, where the Fools live...
THE
WAVES – Walt lives
in Hope Harbor, a pious town inhabited by people who patiently waits for the
Goddess to come to the Island one day. She will take them away and save them.
Or will she? When Walt’s best friend and future leader of Hope Harbor is
silenced when he questions the religion of old, Walt sets out and discovers the
shocking truth about the island they live on and the people beyond the Wall.
THE DEEP – Leia and Walt sail away to the legendary world
of Cornwall. They’ve been told that all wars of the past have been forgotten
and the people there live in peace, adhering to the tenets of an old religion
that preaches forgiveness and non-violence. However, on a trip to Exeter, the ancient
city of their ancestors, they discover more about the new world than they ever
bargained for.
What can I say about
THE ISLAND SERIES?
Firstly I was super - lucky enough to be contacted
early on in the series by the Author and have read each book in this series
prior to their release. I have enjoyed them from beginning to end.
And now About The Series I can say:
I’d say this series
is more in a quirky dystopian genre than a straight dystopian. The roots of
the plot are well thought out, and Book 1 sets the sturdy foundations for more
to come. In Book 1 we learnt about the manor house side of the dividing
wall. In Book 2 we learn about the other side of the dividing wall, Hope Habor
and it’s residents. This instalment entices the reader with the notions of what
is really on the other side of the water. In Book 3 we go on the journey to the
other side of the water, and discover what and who is there. There's
an amazing twist at the end that points to the possibilities lots more to come
and I do really hope that Jen continues to write about these characters, their
relationships and their trials and tribulations. Upon completing this series I
felt myself yearning for even more. . .
This is what other reviewers said about the series:
"A simple, fluid way of writing... The foundation the author gives to her characters and the society they are part of is very inventive and visual." Jennifer Murgia, author of the Angel Star series
"Her characters are full of the vitality of youth, the yearning for a life that feels right and the desire to overcome the fears and prejudices of the unknown, while making the unknown become another tool to learning. Sometimes dark, but always entertaining and thought provoking, Jen Minkman’s world has become a favorite of mine." Dii, Top 500 reviewer on Amazon
"This is a lovely read full of whimsical ideas and interesting concepts.(...) there are unlikely heroes, and themes of sorrow, hope and redemption from places you wouldn't expect. This author always has a surprise or two up her sleeve when you don't see it coming." Ionia Martin, Top 500 Reviewer on Amazon.
