This was an interesting read overall. Some scenes were quite confusing for me but the overall storyline came together after each new chapter and new character addition. It may not be a favourite but I think many readers will enjoy it.

The pacing was great, the detail was awesome and the perfect hero to root for. I enjoyed that the story had a very interesting spin on what the world might look like and how the history of the characters was woven in nicely with different points of view. Usually as you round the last chapter or so, the story starts to flatten but here, I was excitedly reading every word right to the very last one!

Pretty good overall. It probably had more testosterone than I was in the mood for, but I'm sure others will be fine with that aspect. It is a bit of a thriller, after all. A lot of mystery and thriller fans will probably enjoy this one.

Thanks very much for the free copy for review!!

This book felt like the equivalent of a Michael Bay movie. Sans excessive explosions, of course. But it was fast-paced, testosterone-pumped, and action-packed that felt very much in the category of a Michael Bay movie. So it was definitely out of my typical reading zone and reminded me why I don't read books like this.

This was a white man's dystopian wet dream where a single white man gets to take down the entire system to save his dear, PREGNANT WIFE (the amount of times Blake called Isa his "pregnant wife" like OKAY I GET IT). This white man is essentially the dystopian Jesus Christ who becomes God's greatest gift to mankind. He's every bit as good as the bad guy is bad (btw one of the bad guys is actually a woman called who is described as "icy," eye roll).

If you put every dystopian cop show script into an AI, you would get something like Servitude. The most hilarious thing is that this book pretended that DEMOCRATS were the front line against right-wing white supremacists. As if they aren't the same side of the same fucked up coin. Also let me rant a bit: the servant system literally exists in the US. Have you HEARD of our prison system? Let's not pretend the white man will save us because clearly they haven't done anything about it yet!!

I had trouble understanding the story and what the characters were trying to achieve. Was the hero trying to stop American Servitude? Was he trying to help stop Britain’s system? Why was his wife so wimpy?
