My Ratings 4.4/5
Synopsis
When the strikingly handsome, privileged, and hedonistic young Deputy Governor Andrew Onio suffers a massive and mysterious stroke, his surprising recovery propels him on a perilous journey. He follows a labyrinthine trail to indigenous refugee camps, illegal settlements, and secretive experimental farms beyond the militarized borders of the settler colony of Constantina.
Constantina has taught its Europan citizens to believe in their racial superiority and in their divine right to occupy the lands of the continent of Kanata. Andrew has been steeped in Constantinan nationalism and Kuni religion since birth, schooled by his father, a zealous supporter of the colony.
Accompanied by Maya, a beautiful yogi with immense powers, and shadowed from beyond his own mind by another advanced consciousness that has taken an interest in his survival, Andrew uncovers explosive secrets about his own past, the Guardians, and the political system that he has devoted his life to upholding.
The first book in the Svevi Avatar novel pentalogy, Persecution of Constantina introduces readers to contemporary characters and themes in an epic battle that spans 12,000 years and riveting physical settings across a world like, and unlike, our own.
My Thoughts
Svevi Avatar: Persecution of Constantina at a lot of instances overwhelming, but the sheer trauma that Offered faces are portrayed to such a heartbreaking degree, it seems too raw and real. What if your rosy vision of a world embracing change for better was banished to those very fringes of society?
A gripping work of fiction reflective of our society that can become everyday truths lest we control the elements of society that crave for a world where emotions are enveloped in a convenient casing of ‘values and tradition’, Svevi Avatar: Persecution of Constantina is worth every second.
The characters were in my opinion really well done, they really made me feel emotions, either good or bad, towards them. And they made me react on what they did. I really loved the ending, it was all I could hope for. It was a climax to the end of the story which has been build up in the entire book. And the ending was really fast paced. As slow as the first part of the book felt of me, that fast felt the last few chapter to me. I read the last few chapters in one sitting and I really enjoyed it. You could say that I was somewhat exploding with happy emotions.
I really enjoyed this book and I find it to be a good introduction into the books written by Maya Svevak , which I will be reading in the next months. The characters felt real to me.
There’s a reason that this novel is such an amazing readd. It is well worth the read.
Highly Recommended!
