Ferdinand Maubrey
Elizabeth Stephens is the most exciting new young author out there. Not only does Population emulate the Hunger Games' power and Mad Max' dark tone, it also adds a new element to the genre: Her main character is a mixed race female, who is at the same time a badass sexy ninja. The main coup is that she doesn't spend much time on the particularities of that, thus fulfilling the ultimate goal of diversity: Not talk about colour, but the awesomness of the person. Can't wait to read the second part!
