“The narrative beautifully combines dystopian elements with a moving story of love, grief, and defiance. The engaging, evocative writing builds suspense and develops characters in ways that will keep readers invested. … Compelling and thought-provoking.” * Kirkus Reviews * “This is not your ordinary dystopian book that revolves around action, politics, revolution, a bizarre community and triumph. It really stands out. Defy really defied my views on the post-apocalyptic genre. … I highly recommend the book for all ages. Five out of five indeed.” -- Kevin Velayo * YA Dude Books *
