Review:
Forbidden love on a paradise planet that’s anything but paradise, Aubrie Dionne’s
Colonization will keep you guessing.
Andromeda’s life is pre-planned.
She’ll take her tests, and her job and lifemate will be chosen for her. But
everything is about the change on the New
Dawn. After many generations, they are landing on Paradise 21, their new
home. She has to face a life outside the confines of deep space and a new job.
Worse, the boy she loves is chosen for her enemy. Andromeda doesn’t know how
she’ll survive these changes, but the worst is yet to come. For the planet
isn’t as much of a paradise as they once thought.
Colonization
hooks the reader from the first chapter. Andromeda is an unlikely heroine. She
doesn’t work hard at school, and she’s known to be a slacker. But she could be
the colonization’s only hope for survival. Sirius is the forbidden hunk, and
Corvus is simply loveable and strong. I love how Dionne sprinkles in phrases
like “black-as-deep-space hair” to show the futuristic expressions ideal for
their lives. The plot is fast-paced and intense. The budding romances are sweet
and passionate. I love how the colonists still find their choices in their
pre-planned existence. This novel is such a great read!
Aubrie Dionne conquered space in her New Dawn series, but now she’s taking
over the planet in Colonization. You won’t want to miss out on this new
series!
