Broken: The Young Hellions Series
In a time of a failed One-World order economy, the only viable currency is a human one.
It is 2035, and the path of Earth’s inevitable destruction has finally been realized. Efforts to perfect weapons of mass destruction and subsequently destroy one another have come to a head. The most powerful countries engage in an all-out nuclear assault. The time of The Big Drop nearly banishes everyone to death in a wake of destructive Fallout. Humanity devolves back to its carnal heritage of slavery to re-establish currency through the slave trade.
Nobody knows who started it, but the devastation ravages every organic life form, both plant, and animal. 90% of human life is wiped out. Of the 10% that survive, radiation poisoning has varying effects on the human genome. It creates both mindless beasts called Ashers and beings with special gifts – Alphas. As humanity struggles to survive, migrating to the safety of continental coastlines in search of fresh water, the planet scurries to salvage some kind of economic stability.
Enter 16-year-old Keesa Donovan and her younger brother Kiran. They live out their lives in a slave pod run by The Establishment, just outside Savannah, Georgia. Losing everything she loved after the Fallout, she desperately seeks freedom while navigating the trials of teenhood, sifting through emerging feelings for her best friend Wynn, and realizing the growing attraction for newcomer Dobbs. Confounded by her gift of ESP, she is haunted by unexplainable visions of mysterious days to come, holding onto a sliver of hope that one day she and her brother will be freed. But on the fateful day of the annual Reckoning, Keesa’s life takes a turn as fate steps in and forces her onto the narrow road of her destiny.

What interested me about this initially was the way in which the protagonist was speaking to the reader. It seemed like an entry in a diary or journal, and I thought, "what does this person have to tell me?" Then as I read on, I felt emotionally involved.
The protagonist was someone that I quickly warmed to, and I thought she would be a good heroine. She had a determination that made me feel motivated on her behalf, and at the same time, a kind of vulnerability that made her seem endearing.
Something else that struck me was how much sympathy I felt towards the protagonist, even early on in the story. "It's just that I feel so lonely and sad and angry. Losing so much, as I have, changes you." I wanted to know more about her, and what might happen to her next, and that was my motivation for reading.
The story was an interesting mix of science fiction and fantasy. I enjoyed seeing the protagonist develop as a character and took a liking to some of the other characters, so I would be interested to see if they return in the sequel.
I think I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys books in the science fiction, dystopian, fantasy or young adult genres.

Broken by Braxton Cosby is a post-apocalyptic story which takes place in the United States following “The Big Drop.” The Big Drop is what occurred during a nuclear war after Russia invades the Ukraine. This attack awakened secret alliances and ignited inflation, which all led to World War and nuclear destruction… Some survivors of radioactive fallout and other consequences of the nuclear attack, exist among a wasteland called The Deadland in The Establishment. The Establishment is a society run by The Enforcers. Keesa is a seventeen-year-old slave of this society. She lives in Precinct Six of The Establishment, somewhere near Savannah, Georgia, in the U.S. Rituals and practices have evolved in this post-apocalyptic society such as The Reckoning which intimidates the slaves and helps control them through fear. Keesa is recognized by The Establishment for her leadership qualities and is singled out to become a Hellion, part of a select group of specially trained private guards of the leader Cress. Despite this elevation in status, Keesa yearns for her freedom, and along with friends, she helps mastermind an escape from The Establishment.
The escape is successful, and Keesa, her brother Kiran, and a few friends traverse The Deadland to find their way to The Resistance. Unexpectedly they are captured by Horders. Horders are post-apocalyptic thieves living in The Deadland who have bonded together as tribes and who avoid confrontation with The Establishment and The Ashers, radiated mutants who have an insatiable hunger for warm human blood… Will Keesa be able to survive The Long Walk and will she and her friends escape The Horders? Will the Horders accept them as fugitives of the Establishment? Will Keesa and her friends finally find their way to the safety of The Resistance?
Opinion:
Think of a dystopic society in a Lois Lowry story, Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, and the post-apocalyptic empty wasteland of Mad Max with scattered societies, some reminiscent of past plantations in the U.S. deep-South, along with a touch of communism of the western world thrown in. This is the setting of Broken, which at times seems fresh, and at other points in the story seems like you are revisiting past characters and plots.
Broken is a story of family and friendship. The main character, Keesa, is reminiscent of Katniss from Hunger Games, fighting for self-preservation, with a deep love and connection to her younger brother, Keenan, and her desire to break free from her life as a slave. Keesa is a multi-dimensional character who occasionally even exhibits some complex feelings which may be interpreted as bisexuality. She rebels against an authoritative, oppressive regime run by adults and leading to an awakening. Adroitly written by the author as not just a young adult rebellious or coming-of-age tale, Keesa’s awakening is more a self-realization about living for others and owing her desire for survival to a determination to help the many people who love and support her.
The author also comments on our world in general through his story. He seems to be expressing his own desire to promote a sense of “love and unity,” among the human race’s tendency to make “bad decisions based on hate and separatism.”
In the story, I found the slang and phrases injected into the speech of various characters, a stark contrast to the author’s otherwise smooth writing and the flow of the narrative. I often stumbled upon phrases spoken by characters which felt forced and awkward to read, causing me to pause and question their appropriateness in the context of the character’s circumstances. The choice of speech was most likely used to appeal to a certain age group or reader, but I wonder if foreign readers would also have trouble with certain idioms and phrase uses, limiting the appeal of the story and book.
The author is obviously a very talented and skilled writer. He is very experienced in his development of characters, settings, and particularly in portraying situations full of tension and suspense. His prose and story-telling skills shine and culminate in the exciting ending of Broken. I flew through the last 100 pages as the story mounts to a climax, with a thrilling ending that beautifully leads into a much-anticipated sequel in this young adult post-apocalyptic series.

LESSONS LEARNT FROM THE STORY READ
🔥In healing the mind and the body ,the former is more difficulty
🔥In the fight between faith and fear the conquering power of focus is always prominent as seen in Zidia and Keesabeth"s experience.
APPLICATION OF LESSONS LEARNT
On healing the mind and body I don't share the authors view because certain injury to the body most times defy solution order than getting one to be a Messiah which is an injury upon injury.

Broken follows the adventures of Keesa Donovan, a woman of an Establishment settlement outside of Savannah in a post-apocalyptic world. In the aftermath of the Great Drop, when nuclear bombs were dropped all over the world, survivors are forced to create a new world. One of the big players is the Establishment, who have enslaved many people of the world, among them Keesa, her brother Kiran, and their Uncle, who live with meager hope for escape. Keesa has accepted, and welcomes, the fact that she’s going to die, especially after failing to make the yearly sacrifice for the third time, but fate intervenes in the form of a new friend who brings new hope. Dobbs Saunders, a fellow slave, who has managed the impossible and escaped on numerous occasions. He speaks of the Resistance, who are liberating people and spreading their anti-Establishment message. With Dobbs’ know-how, the gang of friends band together to hatch a plan to escape.
The author creates a dreary setting in this gritty post-apocalyptic story. I could really feel the despair and hopelessness of the characters’ lives. I find this emotional depth often lacking in other young adult books, but I really enjoyed how this story embraces that darkness and colors the world in austere shades that make the story feel authentic, if bleak. This is a dark and disturbing dystopian world that is enthralling. There were several intriguing details that made my skin crawl. The author does an excellent job of conveying this in the writing, and I enjoyed every bit of it.
Although dark, the story shows how love and perseverance can be used to push through any obstacle. This creates moments of great humanity in a world that feels as if its lost theirs. I really liked the fantastic contrast within the story and I found it compelling, but I wish there was more light to balance out the dark. The book also contains tender moments as well that I would have liked to have seen expanded on further.
Broken shows readers a dark vision of what the world could be after a nuclear fallout. This is an enthralling cautionary tale that will inspire readers to choose love and use determination to push through the darkness. This is a thought-provoking and entertaining post-apocalyptic adventure novel that will appeal to fans looking for a story that, while dark, provides great lessons in finding strength in dark times.

How often does one get a chance to write that 367 pages of dystopian science fiction are only the beginning of the story--and one is looking forward to the rest of it? "Broken" gives me the opportunity to say that.
The year seems to be in the early 2030s. The nuclear war that started when it was threatened--last summer--has left everyone a loser on a desert planet. The few humans who have survived are the Establishment, the Horde, the Ashers (sort of like zombies), and the slaves. Rumors suggest that there are also revolutionaries who want to end slavery. Keesa, a smart, cute, sassy teen slave, wants to lead a few friends to join the revolutionaries. First, though, she's enlisted in the Hellions, the official Establishment goon squad for what's left of Georgia. Before she even starts training she finds an opportunity to run off through Horde territory. leading her little brother and some friends to freedom or death...Well, freedom, of course. This is book one of a series.
The book has other imperfections, but what you won't like about it is probably that, if you finish it, you'll want to find out what else happens to the believable (and lovable) characters. There's a large diverse cast (slavery no longer has anything to do with race) with the potential for a movie version that would budget more for rewarding lots of young actors and less for special effects. For adults who don't get into science fiction and teen angst, there's also a credible study of the role of faith in a difficult life: Keesa isn't sure which of her elders' teachings came from the Bible but she learns and draws strength from what she's been taught. Keesa has a lot to learn and you'll want to watch her learn it in the most painless possible way.

Baxton A Cosby gives us a view into the life of Keesa. A real page-turner. I'm not much into Sci-Fi but this book is an exception because the author has mixed fantasy as well. An enjoyable read, It's a long book but hey I like it. I love the fact that the author did not go into heavy details. It's just perfectly put, as though the reader is watching everything play out play-by-play.
If I specifically speak about Keesa, I think her core beliefs of friendship and loyalty really drive the story.
The author has done an incredible job in creating this piece of art. Honestly, I will recommend this book to the younger generation of readers. The book really puts some things into perspective. Younger readers would surely enjoy it.
I am a big fan of series that end with breathtaking cliffhangers, so yeah I would love to read the next book.

Dystopian fiction at its best
Of course, the inspiration of “The Hunger Games” and “The Vampire Diaries” is clear. But, as a true dystopian novel should, Braxton A. Cosby’s “Broken: The Young Hellions Series Book 1” also reminds me of Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. The author describes a post nuclear war world order, run by a cynical organization called The Establishment, in a frighteningly realistic way. The young and resilient female protagonist in this first person story, 16 year old Keesa Donovan, leader of the Young Hellions, tries to escape together with her brother from a terrible reality filled with ruin, devastation, hopelessness and despair. The characters are all well elaborated and convincing, while the plot is sometimes really gut wrenching but always vivid, adventurous and highly entertaining. It’s dystopian fiction at its best. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Dystopian story and first person... should've counted as two strikes off the bat. When something is done well, you have to give it its props.
Braxton weaves through a very dreary setting of this post-apocalyptic world and gives it a flavor you may not like but like a train wreck, you have a very hard time looking away from it. So you turn the page. The next thing you know you're sewing hope into the hopelessness of the MC. You're feeling their pain and ambition, pulling for them every step of the way.
If this is dystopian scifi, sign me up for more.

Horders and Ashers…oh my!
With lots of action, this book follows various storylines in this installment leading to plenty of action as Keesa tries to establish a forward base and liberate slave camps across the world.
The art is beautiful. Sometimes the dialogue is a little difficult to follow based on the positioning of the dialog bubbles, but it is an entertaining story with twists and turns.

August 30, 2022📖 i most definitely am not the target audience or demographic for this book but i seriously think this is so so important. diversity in children's books is so rare and that makes media generally harmful to young people due to what it makes their brain process as 'normal'. i think the writers style is unique and i'd even get my little sister to read it.

Broken is the first book in the Young Hellions series by Braxton A. Cosby and it is a fantastic start to what promises to be an exciting and thrilling series. The characters are well-written and each has a unique personality that makes them stand out. The world-building is fantastic, and the author has created a rich and vibrant world that is full of excitement and danger.
November 8, 2022
I like this book. Personally, I enjoyed reading the whole story (page turner book). I will give recomendation to readers who interest with science fiction and fantasy. I like how the author mix fantasy and science fiction too.
November 27, 2022
I hate not knowing what's happened. Lol. This is the start to what I assume will be a lengthy series but it was enjoyable and quite a page turner. I love how strong Keesa is and how she can manage to find hope in the darkest of times. Her situation is dire and she managed to find hope for life when all signs point to her execution. This book seems to be pointed at a younger crowd based on the cover but it's one of THOSE books. One that can be read and appreciated by literally any age and gender. The cliffhanger part is the of the story is my biggest disklike but when more are available for me I'd love to read them!
