In a world where, to be different could be fatal, the citizens have to conform.

T7 is a Controller whose job it to track down the runners and bring them to justice, but when the resistance break her conditioning she has to decide whose side to join.

An interesting futuristic dystopian novella that explores the possibilities that everything you are told is not necessarily the truth.

The futurespeak used in the story took a little time to get used to and on occasions I found the situation to be a little confused but overall this was a good tale with a suitable ending… (meer)

Obey Defy is a novella about a future civilization where everything is under surveillance; even your thoughts and actions. T7 is a Controller who is able to take control over anyone at any time, who is tasked with hunting down the resistance. But what would you do if the resistance reached out to you for help?

One of the little things I enjoyed about this book was the different uses of syntax (the way sentences are formed) depending on if the person talking, was a part of the resistance or if they were following the rules of the government.

I was not expecting this novella to have so much gross subject matter until it appeared right before my eyes. If you are uncomfortable with descriptions of people vomiting, or genuinely uncomfortable actions by the villain, such as putting fingers in mouths; I would not recommend this for you. There are also many scenes of violence but if you are okay with that and the previously mentioned gross subject matter, then go ahead and enjoy!

I also felt as though the first chapter could have been split into two separate chapters and it would have improved the flow of the story; since after the first chapter, the other chapters are significantly quicker to read. But overall, I enjoyed this novella!

I received this novella as an arc in exchange for an honest review.… (meer)
