I'm sensitive to plot errors, and this started off with enough unplausable and contradictory elements i gave up before the end of the first chapter ( ) I made it to 50%, a little past when "soul" is first mentioned (as in, Legacy humans still have souls so we're the real humans, not Ascenders). Nonsense. I already had issues with Ascender tech anyway, it makes no sense, and the differences between the changed people and unchanged people were also nonsensical. But having a religion movement bring down the high tech changed people? What? What's that got to do with anything? Oh, wait, Ascenders outlaw religion. The way they're described, they shouldn't care. But this is propaganda. It's not very good, either. The idea of having an 'Olympics'' of arts, the idea of painting masterfully all at once, on cue, in front of an audience, is ridiculous. It's another way to paint (haha) Ascenders as less-than, not human, bad guys. As an artist, I call BS. As a writer, I call BS. This is not okay. Don't give this to your kids. Slow, never fully grabbed me This book has an interesting premise, but the story was so slow to warm up that nothing ever quite grabbed me enough to pull me into this world. Kamali was arguably the most interesting character and, I’ll admit, it was a slog to get through to the end after she stopped being in the focal lens of the story. I wanted to like it but it just never sucked me in. I won’t continue the series. OH MY GOSH! WHAT IF THIS REALLY HAPPENED IN THE FUTURE? I couldn't stop reading this book as I was concerned for Eli, his ill mom, and his dedicated friend. Since he could remember Elijah Brighton wanted to have a chance to ascend, to live forever, and to take care of his mom with no more experimental and illegal drugs to keep his mom until they could both ascend to her fail body could be as good as new. With the chance to be in the Olympics where he could ascend he was on step closer to achieving his goal. I admired this teenager and his love for his mom and I can't wait to read this rest of the series to see what happens next! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
What would you give to live forever? Seventeen-year-old Elijah Brighton wants to become an ascenderâ??a post-Singularity human/machine hybridâ??after all, theyâ??re smarter, more enlightened, more compassionate, and above all, achingly beautiful. But Eli is a legacy human, preserved and cherished for his unaltered genetic code, just like the rainforest he paints. When a fugue state possesses him and creates great art, Eli miraculously lands a sponsor for the creative Olympics. If he could just master the fugue, he could take the gold and win the right to ascend, bringing everything heâ??s yearned for within reachâ?¦ including his beautiful ascender patron. But once Eli arrives at the Games, he finds the ascenders are playing games of their own. Everything he knows about the ascenders and the legacies they keep starts to unravelâ?¦ until heâ??s running for his life and wondering who he truly is. The Legacy Human is the first in Susan Kaye Quinnâ??s new young adult science fiction series that explores the intersection of mind, body, and soul in a post-Singularity worldâ?¦ and how technology will challenge us to remember Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
