Remnants by Lisa T. Bergren

Remnants: Season of Wonder  THEIR ARRIVAL WAS FORETOLD FOR YEARS….

Andriana is a Remnant, gifted as an empath and one of the Ailith, destined to act as humanity’s last shield against the horrors that now plague those who remain.

After years of training in stealth and warfare, Andriana and her Knight protector, Ronan, are finally ready to answer the Call and begin the life they were designed for. But as they embark with the other Remnants on the first of their assignments, they quickly discover that the world beyond their protected Valley is more dangerous than they imagined.

The Sons of Sheol will stop at nothing to prevent Dri and Ronan from rescuing anyone sympathetic to the Remnants’ cause. And as the Remnants battle the demonic forces, still other enemies close in. Dangers intensity, but so do Dri’s feelings for Ronan–the one emotion she is not meant to feel. In the midst of their mission, Andriana must find a way to master her feelings. Or risk compromising everything…

 My Thoughts:

I loved this book. I haven't read many dystopian novels and I was captivated.
I liked how Lisa used the spiritual gifting that we receive when we accept Christ, as the same
gifting her characters had.

This is my favorite quote: "You were born to do as the Maker bids. To fight the dark, to fight for the light. To save the world, one step, one person at a time."

This book really made me think about what kind of a world this would be if we fought for the light,
and worked to bring God's message to those around us.

I highly recommend it!
