Pure by Julianna Baggott Review


Pure
By Julianna Baggott

Set in a post-apocalyptic world where the Detonations had left people Fused with objects or even other people Pressia stumbles upon a young man who is known as a Pure. Being Pure is a reference to those who escaped the apocalypse unmarked by living in a dome that protected them from the Detonations. Partridge is the only person in the history of the dome to have escaped its confines as he sets out to find his mother. After Pressia finds him she begins helping the boy and is pulled down into a strange series of events that will forever intertwine her fate with Partridge’s.
Julianna Baggott has created a fascinating and strange world where people and object become one. It is a very unique and intriguing look at a post-apocalyptic scenario. This story is full of growth and learning to accept yourself for each of your own flaws. The descriptions are spot on to bring this strange place into the most vivid of displays within your own mind.

Indie, Mainstream, or Both?



I have seen a lot of different opinions on the subject of Indie Books so I thought I would see what the people who read my blog think. Are you strictly a mainstream kind of person or are you a proud supporter of the self-published title? For reviewers, are you more lenient when it comes to indie books than mainstream ones or are you unbiased? For Indie Authors why did you decide to self-publish? Be sure to leave a comment below and let me know what you think!

As for me you can see from my blog that I review both Indie and Mainstream novels, I do tend to go a little easier on Indie books then I would with a mainstream title because a mainstream title has a different type of support system in place to make sure any kinds of mistakes are caught but I still give my honest opinion on whether I thought it was rubbish or not.
