Reviews

Privilege is the ideal book for readers who appreciate novels like The Handmaid's Tale, Divergent, and The Hunger Games. It will resonate with readers who enjoy speculative fiction that centers on gender and political dynamics. I highly recommend it. -Jefto Pierre for Readers' Favorite (Privilege) raises powerful questions about control versus freedom: should a society suppress emotions to maintain peace, even at the cost of individuality? Or is it better to allow full freedom of expression, even if it risks empowering dangerous elements? It is a book I would freely recommend. I am sure book two will end up on my reading wish list, as I am still intrigued as to what happens next. -Rachel Sharp for Reedsy The plot is fast-moving, and the action is decisive and bold, which will keep readers glued to the pages. The author has set up an ending to this story that definitely will have readers searching for the next iteration of the series to see where it leads next. I enjoyed this read and also want to know what is next for Amity. I highly recommend this story. -Grant Leishman for Reader's Favorite Privilege stands out for its smart worldbuilding, steady pacing, and the way it blurs the lines between utopia and dystopia. It's a gripping story that explores power, obedience, and the courage it takes to ask hard questions in a world that insists on easy answers. Thoughtful, suspenseful, and full of heart, Privilege is a powerful start to a series that promises even more intrigue and insight to come. -Angela Borgo for NetGalley
