"A unique blend of a reverse Handmaid's Tale and Divergent" In 2034 women have taken control of Greater Maryland, and weapons are banned all over the world. Amity has spent her life trying to do everything her mother, teachers, and government expect of her. Now she is ready to take her Oath and train to become an Officer of the Peaceful Society. Vale is in Baltimore on a dangerous assignment, rescuing men to train in his father’s militia. He knows the women of the PS can never be trusted, never be forgiven for what happened to his mother. Nothing on Oath Day goes as expected. Amity is sent on a mission far from home. She’ll have to convince Vale she’s turned her back on the PS, and convince herself that the Peaceful Society is still worth fighting for. Privilege is a YA dystopian romance set in an alternative timeline, and the first book in the Peaceful Society trilogy by Megan Wobus. Megan’s books are brain-made, with no AI used in any part. Privilege is the ideal book for readers who appreciate novels like The Handmaid's Tale, Divergent, and The Hunger Games. It will resonate with readers who enjoy speculative fiction that centers on gender and political dynamics. I highly recommend it. —Jefto Pierre for Readers' Favorite (Privilege) raises powerful questions about control versus freedom: should a society suppress emotions to maintain peace, even at the cost of individuality? Or is it better to allow full freedom of expression, even if it risks empowering dangerous elements? It is a book I would freely recommend. I am sure book two will end up on my reading wish list, as I am still intrigued as to what happens next. —Rachel Sharp for Reedsy The plot is fast-moving, and the action is decisive and bold, which will keep readers glued to the pages. The author has set up an ending to this story that definitely will have readers searching for the next iteration of the series to see where it leads next. I enjoyed this read and also want to know what is next for Amity. I highly recommend this story. —Grant Leishman for Reader's Favorite Megan Wobus plays the fiddle and writes books.
