Review: Dimension Drift

Dimension Drift by Christina Bauer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When it comes to dystopian novels, I'm a bit wary. The set up is almost always the same and because it takes a certain amount of understand of history and science, it makes it a bit difficult for me to read. This one, is just the right blend with a bit of sci-fi to it that I'm intrigued. I liked Meimi the main character. This story is way too short as it ended right as the story started to get good. This is a prequel in some ways and it did a good job in setting up the world as well as the characters.

This is a bleak world where there are haves and have nots. Meimi is a have not so that she can contain her freedom. Unfortunately for her, she is young and dumb. This is to be expected of a seventeen year old. Many questions arise out of this story and I'm eagerly anticipating the next book in the series. One can only hope the next story is longer.

The pace of this story is nice and fast. It is concise with not an extra word. Meimi's friends are interesting and I wish there was more about them. I like that her friends are other females instead of having adversarial ones. The kicker in this story is the boy from another dimension. What is he and why would he honour his father's promise? So many questions - absolutely no answers. This dystopian story is recommended to readers who like a bit of sci-fi.
