REVIEW

Summary of the book

The Paradise Conflict is a dystopian fiction which is set in a world where freshwater is scarce, air is filled with hazardous pollutants, everything is covered with UV-protection sheets; needless to say, masks are essential; in addition to the misery of this world, the remainder of the population and infrastructure is administered by the Imperial regime. The surviving water bodies are heavily guarded by Imperial outposts and common people are being killed by them, for the inequality this regime is entitled to. The comfort of living and surviving is only meant for the governor and his Imperial servants, not the common people.

This situation cause the rise of a group of people who choose to stand against the regime, the Rebels. This first book in the series portrays a battle between the Rebels and Imperials with a set of characters that are interconnected in a way. The Rebels are looking for ‘the lost paradise’, which is thought to be thriving with all the natural resources and free of any pollutants, hidden somewhere and the wicked tyrant that governor is, makes every effort to stop the rebel activities.

This oppression, revolt, and a ray of hope form the foundation for the story. The book consists of many action-packed segments that are quite entertaining. The main characters are very well-developed considering their arcs, inclination, actions, and the choices they make throughout the book. The book portrays dictatorship, governor’s never-ending greed for power and comforts, which reflects in his corrupt and hollow empire as a huge disparity among subjects, and destruction. Apart from that, there are interesting elements like treachery and many surprises. 


My Opinion

I liked the story and the message the book delivered through my personal reading of it. The setting and the characters are formidable. Gayatri – the Rebel leader, Judy – the second-in-command, Mitra – a bounty hunter, and Arjun – the Imperial admiral were some of the memorable characters I enjoyed reading. The plot involving ‘the lost paradise’ was really interesting to follow. However, the thing which bothered me throughout the book was – plain and naïve writing style. It was like, the bigger picture is there – the mission, the goal, two parties, but it lacked the minor yet important details. Also, it had the problem of ‘tell, don’t show’. There were ample amount of unnecessary dialogues that could have been elaborated in expositions. Whereas, I expected more of the dystopian world, an enhanced and detailed version of this.


Happy Reading!
