Source: Complimentary Copy Provided by the Author
Publisher: Anaiah Press
Publication Date: November 3rd, 2020
Genre: Christian Fiction/YA Fiction/Dystopian
Synopsis:
While her classmates prepare for elite careers across America, Nyssa Ardelone trains for her secret job as the president’s dream interpreter. But when her mentor lies to the president about the prophecy in his latest dream, Nyssa must figure out why before the lie unravels. What she learns could destroy her own future.
Fearful of a rumored rebellion, the president has launched a gas attack on Nyssa’s hometown, and her mentor lied about the dream to protect the survivors from more harm. When Nyssa learns her parents were injured in the attack, she flees with a stranger sent to steal the antidote—a stranger who claims to know her.
Together, they race to deliver the cure as well as an interpretation of another prophetic dream only Nyssa can provide. But a devastating loss dulls her caution, and she learns too late that not everyone is trustworthy. To survive the president’s deadly pursuit, Nyssa must break every rule she’s ever followed, learning along the way that faith is the only thing that can save her.

My Review:
I have read a lot of dystopians over the years, and I can honestly state that Fortune's Fall is the best one I've read since The Hunger Games. I love that the Christian genre is starting to see more books like this one to appeal to young adult readers, and readers that enjoy young adult books. The next time someone tries telling me that they don't read Christian fiction because all there is is historical romances or Amish romances, I'm going to tell them to go ahead and pick this one up.
The characters were well developed, and had me emotionally invested in their entire journey, especially Nyssa and Cass. I also enjoyed the fact that this one isn't heavy on the romance, and instead most of the attention to detail is given to plot development and the characters' journey. The plot is well mapped out and weaves together in ways that the reader doesn't see coming. And as a bonus, it's all heavily tied to Christian beliefs and the need for Jesus; which I couldn't have enjoyed more.
I can't possibly say enough good things about this amazing novel by Katherine Barger, and I could barely bring myself to put it down once I started it. I will most definitely be recommending this one to everyone I know (I've already told my husband that he needs to read it immediately), and I will most definitely be reading more from this author in the future.
Final Rating: 5/5.
Definitely check this one out if you're a fan of dystopians or Christian young adult fiction.
Thanks so much to the author for allowing me to advance read and review this.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
