Dualed by Elsie Chapman5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() The book is pure teenage girl YA filled with anger, angst, confusion, love, betrayal. West has to survive, and get some answers. Failure to follow through on her assignment means the board has issued a reward for her death. When one of the Alts she’s been assigned to eliminate turns out to be someone she recognizes…someone who is NOT an Alt but a ‘Complete’ … she knows she’s been set up. She balks, but is made some promises which put her on a path she’s never comfortable moving along. But some members of that board have other thoughts, needing West to assist in the elimination of other Alts. It would seem that our heroine, fifteen year old West Grayer, has already succeeded in killing her Alt and is hoping to move on with her life. This insures that the children who succeed will grow up to be battle-tested and strong enough to be good members of society (survival of the fittest). To become ‘complete’ each youth must kill their Alt. All children are born with a genetic alternate (“Alt”) twin. ![]() What we have is a future/alternate world in which a community is controlled by a corrupt governing board. I have not read book one ( Dualed), though a sampler was provided by the publisher, through NetGalley, which did give me a little taste of what the series would be about. Divided, by Elsie Chapman, is the second book in a YA series. ![]()
