Enclave is another dystopian [and zombie] novel and it does not disappoint. It has an amazing storyline and well developed, unique characters. A strong female lead and a plot that is entertaining as well as full of twists and turns.
This novel is rather unique in that civilization takes place above and below ground, each with there own "set" of rules. I am extremely excited to see what happens next. Aguirre leaves you standing at the edge of a cliff as you tremble in anticipation of what will transpire next.
Book 2, Outpost will be out in the fall of 2012! Which is a long, long, long time to wait, so I suggest you get a copy of your own so you can revisit Aguirre's exciting, gritty and rather spooky world until she entertains us again.
Grade: A
Overview: [B&N]
New York City has been decimated by war and plague, and most of civilization has migrated to underground enclaves, where life expectancy is no more than the early 20's. When Deuce turns 15, she takes on her role as a Huntress, and is paired with Fade, a teenage Hunter who lived Topside as a young boy. When she and Fade discover that the neighboring enclave has been decimated by the tunnel monsters—or Freaks—who seem to be growing more organized, the elders refuse to listen to warnings. And when Deuce and Fade are exiled from the enclave, the girl born in darkness must survive in daylight, in the ruins of a city whose population has dwindled to a few dangerous gangs. As the two are guided by Fade’s long-ago memories, they face dangers, and feelings, unlike any they’ve ever known.
