SF Signal » Review: Tankborn by Karen Sandler »
Another grim YA dystopia? Colour me surprised. -_-
BRIEF SYNOPSIS: Genetically Engineered Non-humans Kayla and Mishalla find their lives turned upside down when they fall for boys in higher castes and discover how deeply their own caste is being abused.
[…] Karen Sandler’s Tankborn is a thought-provoking YA science fiction that’s very fast-paced and brilliantly executed. You’re thrown into the world, having to figure out terminology via its usage rather than through information dumps. And while the plot isn’t hard to follow, there’s a lot of underlying themes that lend themselves to discussion (with regards to using religion to control people, the morality of creating a race of genetically engineered slaves, etc.).
