A Time to Die (Out of Time #1) by Nadine Brendes -- Review

About the Book

Picture
How would you live if you knew the day you'd die?

Parvin Blackwater has wasted her life. At only seventeen, she has one year left according to the Clock by her bedside. 

In a last-ditch effort to make a difference, she tries to rescue Radicals from the crooked justice system. But when the authorities find out about her illegal activity, they cast her through the Wall -- her people's death sentence. 

What she finds on the other side about the world, about eternity, and about herself changes Parvin forever and might just save her people. But her Clock is running out.

  • I wrote the Out of Time Series. I think it’s kind of cool. 
  • I’m an adventurer.
  • I’m a Harry Potter super-nerd who has been known to eat an entire package of Oreos (family-size) by herself.
  • I watch Fiddler on the Roof at least once a year. (Wait…you don’t?)
  • Oh yeah, I’M AN AUTHOR! (Der…) I write about other worlds soaked in imagination.
  • I love the word bumbershoot.
  • I learned to write using a fountain pen. They are the magic behind avoiding hand cramps. For reals.
  • I hate peanut butter, but I like brussel sprouts. (Sorry if you just gasped and gagged at the same time.)
  • I’ve driven a dogsled, eaten a raw potato, walked a tightwire, and waded through a cattail marsh all for the sake of book research.
  • I’ve been journaling since I was 7-years-old.

Review

Nadine has written a fascinating and captivating dystopian adventure novel that teens will absolutely love.  From page one, Nadine captures the attention of her readers, pulling them into the life of Parvin Blackwater, a teenager that is in the last year of her life.  With her clock ticking down to the day she will die, Parvine wants to do something that people will remember her by so she’s not just another “empty numbers” person.  This brilliantly written story is of Parvin’s adventure once she is caught sharing her clock with her brother and is cast to the other side of wall.  Parvine just might learn how to survive and go back and save her people.  I would recommend this somewhat fast paced science fiction story to readers that enjoy teen speculative, dystopian, adventure novels.
