NEWS: Review… “…an engaging adventure tale that will leave readers looking forward to the [next] instalment”

Kirkus has a respected name in the publishing business. Kirkus Reviews is a book review magazine founded in 1933 by Virginia Kirkus (1893–1980), headquartered in New York City. Their reviews carry some weight, so I was pleased to read their positive review of The Given. Something encouraging like this in the solitary world of fiction writing is enough to make my day (week….month!) .

Some highlights…

In this YA dystopian series starter, superpowered teenagers dodge government operatives as they try to locate a fabled safe haven …an engaging adventure tale that will leave readers looking forward to the [next] instalment.

A solid fantasy for teens with an appealing cast.
