Review of Niko (The Outsider Chronicles Book 1)
Niko (The Outsider Chronicles Book 1)
by Kayti Nika Raet
A terrific book! Don’t miss!
The first
in a planned five book series, Kayti Nika Raet’s “Niko” is a tense and
imaginative novel set in the popular field of YA dystopia. The characters are
plausible, memorable, relatable, and cleverly written. Even better, the world
she has created stands up to scrutiny, making sense where so many others
collapse as you move from chapter to chapter.
The
plotting in Niko is terrific with tension and story questions raised on the
very first page. Not only is the world is bathed in acid rain making food scarce, humans
are beset by ‘Slithers,’ fanged and clawed human-like beasts who feed on
human flesh. Fortunately, as a proper heroine, Niko gleefully dispatches the
Slithers with a nail-studded baseball bat. She joins the Rose Circle, a rogue
group of Slither hunters who smuggle her into the presumed haven of Amaryllis
City. But, as expected in a dystopian novel, all is not quite as it seems. What
she discovers, about herself and the world she lives in, you’ll have to learn
for yourself.
Each page
is filled with adventure, sacrifice, surprises, and danger. You’ll not want to
put this book down because each chapter leaves you wanting more!
