The Bond

The Bond Trilogy, Book 1

Winner of the Bronze Medal in the 2018 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards.

Trust what you see, not what you’re told.

In a society that made males obsolete, the Weave engineers a female’s abilities. Girls like Dinitra are engineered by Sowers and assigned their life purpose when they turn 16.

But sometimes, the Sowers get things wrong.

A resistance is growing. Rebels are fabricating humans of their own—including males—and plan to topple the Weave in a war that could destroy them all. When Dinitra is assigned a job with the Legion, she uncovers the ugliest secrets of the Weave. Her loyalty is tested when she’s captured by the rebels and develops a dangerous bond with a male warrior—a shameful crime that she may pay for with her life.

Fans of Neil Shusterman's Arc of a Scythe series will delight in this heart-pounding adventure.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Kirk brings the listener into an intricate, well-imagined world—a landscape so credible it instantly feels like a classic." (Beth Kander, author of the Original Syn Trilogy)

I loved this book!!

I love how many issues come around the question of being a human being from the perspective and voice of a young augmented woman in a dystopian world. Can’t wait to get into the second book of Robin Kirk’s trilogy.

I can see why people would really love this...

...though it was just OK for me. Certainly different, which I appreciated. I'm not sure why I didn't like it more, though right at the beginning of the book was a character named "Trisk," and I hated the audio narration so much, AND she was just a horrible character but kind of a cardboard cutout villain. I was grinding my teeth every time she showed up. It was too long and (I can't believe I'm saying this) just too complicated. Usually that's a plus, but I think because it's kind of a slow it just felt like, "Get on with it already."
