A Fantastic Indie Author... The Amber Project is the first book in, Indie author, J.N. Chaney's, Variant Saga series. I really hadn't heard much about Chaney until recently so I wasn't sure what to expect going into it but I was very pleased with the story. It's a dystopian story about survivors that have been forced to live in an underground city because a mysterious gas called the Variant has been spreading across the world. A scientist has been experimenting with kids and genetically modifyin...
I wasn't sure how I was going to like the book but I have to say it was well written story. It was different from other dystopian books. There wasn't a romance interest in the story but it did keep my interest throughout. The story begins in the future where people live underground because the earth was destroyed due to a toxic gas called Variant which spread across the world and killed everything around or changed it. Like the sky which was blue is now purple and the grass was blue instead of g...
The Amber Project is JN Chaney's debut novel, and it is AWESOME. Not only do you get a unique, well-developed dystopian future, but he also manages to create original situations and development for his characters, some of which are quietly heroic, while others are terrific villain material. It was easy to cheer for the good guys, and though they face major challenges, there is an element of hope throughout. And I also have to say that the ending is FANTASTIC and made me want to immediately go ou...
This review is for the audible version. I'm not sure how much the narration affected my enjoyment of the story. The narrator isn't bad, but something about the inflection in his sentences didn't sit well with me.The plot revolves around a small underground dystopian society hiding from the death that has become the Earth's atmosphere. It has flavors from many of the sci-fi greats including Ender's Game, Wool, and Divergent, to name a few. Yet, it is it's own unique plot.Being the sci-fi lover th...
~2.5 stars~The blurb for this one sounded promising so I decided to give it a try. Also, it had some really high overall reviews. Sadly, this one just never pulled me into the story. I did like the sci-fi elements, but the character and story development didn’t impress me. I think perhaps it was due to the abundance of characters. I never really felt a connection to any of them, or to the plot. There were several times I almost declared this one a DNF but I stuck it out. I'm glad it was offered
3.5 starsI had this book on my tbr for a long time and finally got around to reading it! I always love to explore a new post apocalyptic version of the world, and this one seemed interesting. I liked the book and the idea behind it, but it clearly was only the first book in a series... meaning there were lots of introductions and quite some chapters about nonessential things, especially in the first half. We got to know the characters, the world they live in (underground) and what happened to th...
This has got to be one of the best YA dystopian novels I have read so far. The story is so intricately woven with an imaginative world and complex characters. As I read through each chapter, my interest just kept growing and I didn't want the story to end. The story is told from multiple perspectives. It has a mix of emotional drama, political intrigue, betrayal, action, murder, special abilities and so on. I loved seeing the relationships in this book. There is no romance but the friendships fo...
**I received a copy of this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review** I'm a JN Chaney fan now. And I'm psyched that this book, though good as a stand-alone novel, is actually a series. Whenever I do a RaR, I tend to be a little skeptical, seeing as most of the ones I've read lately have been filled with typos and grammar problems. Not Chaney's book. This book was so well-written that I felt like I was reading a new bestseller. That alone would make me happy, but the plot is
