I was intrigued by the premise of the book Outcasts. I admit
science-fiction/futuristic books are not really my choice of books, but this
one showed some promise. I guess in requesting it, I didn’t realize it was a
series, so I hadn’t read the first one. This posed somewhat problematic for the
first third of the book, because I wasn’t familiar with “the world” or the
terminology used. After the first third, I had somewhat caught on to most of
what had happened in previous books, but it was still challenging when they
referred to previous incidents.
Overall, the book was just okay for me. Maybe since this
category of genre isn’t my normal choice, that made it longer and more drawn
out for me. The only character I really identified with was Shaylinn in her
choices that had been taken away from her through higher powers. I enjoyed the
escape near the end, but several of the story plot lines were confusing to me.
This may be because it is in a series and I hadn’t read the first, and probably
won’t read additional. I did find the technology and weapons and lifestyle to
be quite interesting though. It took quite awhile for me to read the book,
which usually means it’s a struggle for me. Can’t rate this one super high.
