Customer Reviews

A page-turner, but I have two complaints.

I am a Christian father and thought I would get the Anomaly trilogy for my daughter. Now that I have finished the first book, I don't think I will do so, for two reasons. First, the female characters in the book are terribly (to me) passive in comparison to the male characters. Maybe some readers will be fine with that, but not me. Secondly, the book depicts science in opposition to faith. This is a pet peeve of mine. Why can't science be used to reveal and glorify God just as much as music, arts, literature? Regardless, I thank the author for her suspenseful and polished Christian book. There was a lot to like, and maybe the protagonist won't be such an ingénue in the subsequent books.

Good Christian dystopia!

This series was really good. A great alternative to Hunger Game fans with a Christian message interwoven throughout. I really enjoyed the whole series.
