The Choosing by Rachelle Dekker
“Not to be Chosen would yield a cruel fate of my own making.”
Like all citizens since the Ruining, Carrington Hale knows the importance of this day. But she never expected the moment she’d spent a lifetime preparing for—her Choosing ceremony—would end in disaster. Ripped from her family, she’ll spend her days serving as a Lint, the lowest level of society. She knows it’s her duty to follow the true way of the Authority.
But as Carrington begins this nightmare, rumors of rebellion rattle her beliefs. The whispers contradict everything she’s been told; yet they resonate deep within.
Then Carrington is offered an unprecedented chance at the life she’s always dreamed of, but she can’t shake the feeling that it may be an illusion. With a killer targeting Lints and corruption threatening the highest levels of the Authority, Carrington must uncover the truth before it destroys her.

I know I shouldn't expect an awesome novel just because it's written by the child of one of my all time favorite authors. But this is Ted Dekker's daughter. How can I not be just a little intrigued? Plus, I love a good Christian Dystopian. Anxiously awaiting this one's release.
I'm looking forward to this one too. I haven't read a good dystopian in a while.
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking for Christian dystopians, you could maybe try the Safe Lands series by Jill Williamson. Those are awesome!

I'm ready for a good dystopian too. And I agree with Alexa--the Safe Lands books are fantasic!
DeleteI'm not sure calling the lowest caste "Lints" was supposed to be amusing or not... but now I can't stop thinking about belly buttons and things found at the bottom of pockets.
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks for that.... XD
DeleteI'd heard that his daughter was coming out with a book! This one sounds pretty interesting.

I'm excited. It'll be fun to see how her writing compares and contrasts with her dad's. And the story just sounds really good. I need more Christian Dystopians!
DeleteTrue that! There definitely needs to be more!
DeleteAnd yeah, that'll be really interesting to read.
