It’s about the possibility of extinction and the quest for survival…oh and did I mention there are dinosaurs! I am amazed by how much I loved this book, and it might be a little early to say, but I think this will be one of my favourite books of the year! The parts with dinosaurs are the books high points but they bring another problem being that nothing is really explained. They have been sending Finalists to Piloria for 9+ years and still know like nothing about them, yet they can name them all by sight?She loves the outdoors so much she'll willing dumb down her scores at school so she can continue working outside.

Weird names are the one thing that irritate me most in YA, I love obscure names but some of them are just so ridiculous. It was simple, but I felt this was a perfect end to their story, and left it nicely open for the sequel. The theme of overpopulation remains present throughout the story, and all the main characters have clear motivation for their actions. Written from two alternating points of view, Lincoln (who wants to save his sister's life with access to vital health care) and Stormchaser (who just wants to escape), both are risking their lives for the chance to make their lives better.I can honestly say that there were no cons in this one for me, I just wish everything would stop being compared to The Hunger Games, because, while it has SOME similarities they're also really different, and in comparing the two I feel like there are certain expectations, and those expectations may or may not be met. Lincoln is nice and caring but he also had this determined streak to him to get things done and complete his mission. The sequel comes out surprisingly quickly after the release of the first book, and even that feels like too long a wait! The Extinction Trials is a fast-paced adventure which looks at the true cost of damaging the natural world.

It was one of the longest books to sit on my “on hold” shelf, because it just didn’t do any of the things for me that I was looking for.

The Extinction Trials is a story about a fictional earth where humans and dinosaurs exist together at the same time. She doesn’t believe that the dinosaurs should all be killed- a lot are harmless, especially her beloved Plesiosaurs- and she’s uneasy about stealing the eggs. The winner found a loophole so the losers could win as well which only just proved the pointlessness of it all. Some Battle Royale, fight to the death gore where the competitors not only have to worry about humans but also being eaten by terrifying dinosaurs. Fans of Jurassic Park and The Hunger Games will love this book and although I could appreciate the quality of the writing, the excitement of the story and the storyline it’s not my kind of book.

A world where humans live crammed onto one continent whilst dinosaurs (that’s right, real, actual dinosaurs) live on the other. It takes her quite a bit of the book to come to a final realisation of where she stands, and I was so enthralled in her journey to that point.

The Extinction Trials is a rollercoaster ride into a dystopian world that has been ingeniously created by S. I related to Storm wanting her own space and hating being in a crowded place, as resources on their home, including space, are scarce.
