Dying is optional.
Living is forbidden.
The year is 2111, and scientists have discovered how to cheat death by extracting memories, thoughts, and personality traits from the dying, methodically implanting them into artificial bodies. At the time, it seemed too good to be true, never having to lose anyone to illness or time, and maybe it was.
Rejected as being nothing more than imposters of the living, the dead are shunned by society. Their families, friends, and neighbors, having grown to fear them, erected walls around their cities to keep them out. Over time, those cities were replaced with colonies overseen by governors to keep order.
At seventeen, Zaila Lockhart has only known isolation. Isolation from the world that extends both outside and inside her colony. As the daughter of the unpopular governor, she is the target of resentment, especially now that resources are becoming more scarce, since all trade between the colonies has been interrupted by a group marauders. Starvation seems imminent, and a war between the living and the dead over much-needed provisions looms on the horizon.
In search of food and other supplies, Zaila takes it upon herself to secretly venture outside her colony’s walls. Joined by Pax Muldoon, her only friend, the pair are ambushed by a group of scavengers. Identified as being the governor’s daughter, Zaila is brought back to the scavengers' base in a city occupied by both the dead and their living sympathizers.
Zaila thought she knew everything there was to know about her captors, that the history being taught in the colonies was rooted in fact. But some lessons are better learned outside the classroom, where the living have grown to fear life, and the dead are the only ones truly living.
The Living and The Dead eBook Sara FurlongBurr
The start of what will hopefully be another fantastic saga by Sara whose 'Enigma Black' series is one of my all-time favorites! This story beings in 2111 and is told in chapters that alternate in viewpoint between the three main characters: Zaila, Pax and Flint.Zaila is the daughter of the governor of her colony, the walled off city of Stasia. The walls protect the people from the 'hollow ones', artificial bodies containing the memories and thoughts from the dying in an attempt to live forever. However, society shunned them and eventually battles broke out between the factions leading to the formation of various colonies set up to protect the living. Her only real friend is Pax, a boy in her class.
To help the people in her colony, Zaila sneaks out of the colony in search of food and material goods. On one mission, Pax joins her and they are ambushed by a group of scavengers. Zaila is injured and taken by the scavengers to their base in former Detroit. There she meets Flint, a hollow boy and discovers that things are not what they seem.
I really enjoyed the story as it played out, and once again find myself torn between the characters that Sara has created. I'm really hoping it does become a series as while it is not a cliffhanger ending, the narrative could definitely be extended into another book if not more.

The Living and The Dead eBook Sara FurlongBurr Reviews
Good Book. Characters were well rounded. It had good plot, with examples of how prejudice can easily breed within a society. I hope this will become another great series from Sara Furlong-Burr. Hint...Hint.
Really enjoyed this book. The characters take on a life of their own and you're just along for the ride. Highly recommend.
Sara Furlong-Burr has an easy way of bringing every detail of her stories to beautiful life. I was pleasantly surprised by the twists in this tale, including a huge reveal that was completely unexpected. I remained not only interested, but captivated by the story and the characters. And truth be told, I even envied the heroine, Zaila. She's powerful, daring and compassionate. Zaila Lockhart strives to bring forth real change in her little world, and for the people she cares about. I'd like to have just a tiny bit of this character's courage.
The Living and the Dead deserves the 5 star rating. And do not miss out on the author's dystopian trilogy. Great reads.
