![]() ![]() The introductory chapters in particular have much too many parallels to The Hunger Games. Apart from the obvious - dystopian world - there’s the female protagonist Dol with hot, brooding, angsty male best friend Ro who wants to overthrow the system, they’re each the only one who really understands the other, they both enjoy spending time in the outdoors. As such, it does start off a bit slow, though I enjoyed the introductory scenes of Dol and her best friend Ro in the countryside. Aliens have taken over the world, and a select group of teens have supernatural powers, though it’s unclear where the powers came from, or what the purpose of these powers are (presumably to defeat the aliens and taken back human freedom?).Īs the first book in any series, the primary task of Icons is to establish its world and introduce readers to the characters. ![]() Beautiful Creatures co-author Margaret Stohl begins a new YA dystopia/fantasy series with Icons. ![]()
