What would you sell yourself for?
Madeline knows. She’s spent the last eighteen years impatiently waiting for her Auctioning so she can sell herself to MERCE Solutions Limited for a hundred thousand credits. But when the Auctioneer fails to call her and two suits show up at her doorstep, Madeline discovers there are far worse bargains to be made.
So when your loved ones are in danger, there’s a bounty on your head and your entire city might turn out to be a lie… what would you sell yourself for?
My Review:
Madeline has dreamed all of her life
of Auctioning day when she turned eighteen and would be sold to the highest
bidder. Her dreams have been of being bought by MERCE one of the five corporations
in the city where she lives. In Maddie’s world everyone is sold at the age of
eighteen to the highest bidder and they become their property for the rest of
their lives.
When Maddie’s Auctioning day arrives
she stands with everyone else of her age waiting to be sold but when the
auction is over and she realizes that she has not been bought she is then in
for a rude awakening.
Maddie learns that her licenses has
been revoked by the corporation that she belongs to and will not be sold. She
is now on the run and hiding out. She is now fighting for her life. While
Maddie is on the run she meets a group of people that does not belong to any of
the corporations. While she is hiding out when this group of people she finds
out a lot about her city and the people who run it.
In Maddie’s world everybody has a
price and no one knows it better than Maddie herself. I use to think that no
everyone did not have a price I didn’t. I even argued with my little brother
about it but I admit I was so wrong. Yes everybody does have a price. It may
not be in the form of money but we have a price. We are all like a combination
lock find the right combination and we will pay the price. We think that they
are certain things that we would never do or could do but if we happen to find
one of the people we love in danger we would do whatever was necessary to save
them. Am I correct in assuming this? We would all be like a mother when one of
her children was hurt or in trouble.
I loved the whole concept of
Dissolution and the characters. Maddie is so believable and has a heart the
size of Mount Everest. She thought her price was being sold to the highest
better but she was so wrong or was she? In the end what was the biggest price
for Maddie to pay?
Dissolution maybe a novella but it
read like a full length novel. I would like to have known more about the
corporations and the owners and Maddie too but I guess the author has left room
for more to come. He left us sitting on the edge of our seats wanting more. The
ending just blew me away. But I understand what Maddie was doing and why. Dissolution
is a great book and did not disappoint in any way. I can’t wait to read more in
the next book.
