Sinner by Lana PecherczykMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Excellent Introduction To A New Series
I’m not usually a huge fan of novellas but this one was crafted brilliantly. This book is a prequel to a new series and explains the set up for the series really well.
Flint works for a big firm working on innovative ideas that are supposed to make the world a better place. He is very intelligent and is an inventor using electronics and computer science to make robotics and other such wonders. He has also fallen for Sister Mary a young nun who works on a secret project, and despite not acting on his feelings, he can't seem to help himself.
Sister Mary isn’t really nun, she’s a designated Sinner for her Order which wants to fight misogyny and uses her skills to do so. She is in place to watch over a secret project that has bio-engineered children to be weapons against the 7 deadly sins.
This book is about what the future of those children looks like. The book is very well crafted and the characters are great. I really liked both Flint and Mary and the characters of the children were shown briefly. We are made to understand the nature of the world, that these characters exist in, and the sense of a failing society is outlined clearly. The children are pivotal to the future of this world, and this period of a couple of days, that the book recounts, determines their future.
The author has a great ability to create tension, without going overboard, and quickly induces empathy for the characters. I am really looking forward to the series, if this brief taste is an example of what is to come.
