“The Academie”
Written by Amy Joy

“The Academie” is a science fiction and dystopian YA
novel about a dystopian United States that has created a high school and
college school system of boarding schools that requires students to live on
campus until 23 years old. Allie’s younger brother, Matt, is suspiciously
different after studying there for a year. Allie had made a friend, Bryan,
previous to going to this school, and she longs to reconnect with him.
This school is more mysterious and suspicious. Events and
occurrences are unexplained and very mysterious. This is a great young adult
novel, in my favorite genre: the science fiction/dystopian genre. This
intrigued me, because when I was eighteen, I had started writing a story about
a corrupt and dystopian boarding school, so I was excited to read this when I
received it. I only took about five hours total to read this! It was fantastic.
I had not previously heard of this novel, I had seen it
in a list about Dystopian themes, so I was very interested in it. This book is
very well-written, with themes similar to “The Matrix” but it felt very sweet
and feminine and full of young love. I really hope for a sequel.
I received this as a
complementary review copy.
