Thank you Macmillan Publishing for this book in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
There was no going back; there was no choice, anymore. I’d chosen out and this was it: hot-cold, dry-wet, bright-dark and lonely.
Hayley has gone rogue.
She’s left everything she’s ever known – her friends, her bees, her whole world – all because her curiosity was too big to fit within the walls of the underwater home she was forced to flee.
But what is this new world she’s come to? Has Hayley finally found somewhere she can belong?
Or will she have to keep running?
Review:
Rogue was better than Hive but I still felt as though it was missing a fair bit.
For instance the action or something? It was really drawn out with Hayley doing small and meaningless tasks. If these tasks were taken out of the book, it would be a whole lot more interesting and not so drawn out. By drawing it out it took value away from the story and the character development.
I do love that that this book is based in Australia. There honestly is not enough books based in Australia. And out of all the usual popular place in Australia that a book can be based (pretty much it is always in Sydney) this is actually based in Tasmania. I mean if you haven’t been to Tasmania, you should. It is absolutely beautiful!
I also think there should have been about the ‘law’ of this story? It is over shadowed and I was left wondering what the law was and how it works, to me it should have been explained. I don’t really like being left wondering. But that’s me personally, to some it could add to the mystery of it all.
Rogue was written brilliantly compared to Hive and out of the two this would have to be my favourite as the story had more depth as well.
