![]() ![]() ![]() From cover to cover, I read this book in two days. They don’t hide the fact that it’s dystopian, and because of this, FREEDOM TRIALS was a must-read for me. The title, the cover artwork, and even the jacket copy, tell me exactly what to anticipate. This book does not necessarily push the genre boundaries or serve up a story that’s wholly original, but it offers nostalgia and meets the genre expectations that us dystopian fans have and love. Meredith Tate and Page Street Publishing prove that sentiment is anything but true. I am so excited to see a pure dystopian book on the shelves again! Since THE HUNGER GAMES ushered in a genre craze, years later, publishers have been saying the genre’s dead. If they don’t pass, they will be executed, and all eight of them are willing to do whatever it takes to stay alive. Evelyn is selected for the Trials, along with seven other Level Threes. The Freedom Trials is the final test that prisoners must pass in order to prove they have learned their lesson and are ready to assimilate back into society. What she knows is she is bad and she’s trying to reform. Her jailers have wiped her memory, along with all the other cellmates. ![]() Set in a dystopian future, Evelyn is a hack, a prisoner for a crime she can’t remember. FREEDOM TRIALS by Meredith Tate is the hypothetical birth child of THE MAZE RUNNER and THE TESTING. ![]()
