Hello! I ended 2019 by starting two new series, one of which is the Article 5 series. I will be doing another post about the other series later but this post is all about Article 5. What is Article 5 about? Article 5 is about a seventeen-year-old girl, Ember, who was taken away from her mother and was force to go to a new place. Her mother was noncompliance to the Article 5 rule, which stated that everyone has to have a complete family. Which means a mom, a dad, and children. Since Ember was under 18 and had never known her father, she lived alone with her mother. Because of that, they were breaking the rule. Life in the United States wasn't always like this. We have what was called the Bill of Rights. But in this post-war U.S., those Bill of Rights were changed to Moral Statutes. Defying the law would mean immediate death. Ember's mother was taken away by none other than the boy "she has ever loved", Chase Jennings. Ember soon realized that he was not the boy she loved anymore. My Reaction If I didn't like this book, I would definitely not be writing about it here. I've read the reviews on this book and the first couple didn't sound very good. That, unfortunately, lowered my expectation of the book. I really need to stop doing that because every time I do, it discourages me from reading the book. I recommend that you don't do it either. I gave this book a five-star rating and it totally deserved it. There was so much tension and every page was something new. I finished this book in a day because I couldn't put the book down. The plot was just amazing and so was the romance. There was this tension between Ember and Chase because they used to be lovers. But when he got drafted to be a soldier, they had changed the Chase Ember knew and loved into a killer. There were several times I wanted to smack the main characters because they were acting stupid. If you are into dystopian novels, I really recommend this book. That's all for now. I haven't read the second book yet, but when I do, I will update this. For now, though, read on!
