Defiant by Mara Li (Goodreads Author), Jen Minkman (Goodreads Author), Lis Lucassen

This book was gifted to me by the author in exchange for an honest and fair review. 

3 stories, all show escape from corrupt authority in dystopian worlds. 

All stories are similar in the fact there are the privileged and the ghetto dwellers/fools and Stateless. Society leads the privileged to believe that the other side a are wild lawless and low class. Truth be known they are free from dictatorship. The first story, would be the only exception to this. 
The red messenger, shows of uprising and rebellion against the privileged. 

The island, can you imagine a world where you are forced to become an adult and leave your parents at age 10? A very story that very much shows a cult like existence. The Star Wars references are fantastic, especially since our family are very much 'geeks' 

The tribunal, a corrupt society where the stateless are considered guilty for simply breeching the wall. First time on the tribunal teaches Justa much more about her past than she expects and that the Stateless are not all what she has been lead to believe.

3 great stories. Thanks for the opportunity.
