In a dystopian world, years after a violent war, young Kaspar is a Guardian – a team of highly trained peacekeepers tasked with driving out the terrorist group that threatens the safety of the city. He never questions the cause he is fighting for – after all, he’s fighting the bad guys, isn’t he? After meeting a member of the rebel forces, he begins to uncover the truth about what each side is trying to achieve…
Noble Conflict is the fifth book by Malorie Blackman that I have read, and, I must say, it is one of my favourites. Once again, Blackman has tackled moral issues, this time surrounding trust, finding your true identity and deciding what is right from wrong. While these are important focuses throughout the novel, I would have liked more description of the visual aspects of the city, and to know a little more about the society which has developed since the time of the war. However, these themes can be easily applied to our modern times, and like many young adult books out there, it can help us consider these issues in our life and our society and how we can best deal with them.
I would really appreciate it if you could like my Facebook page (find it here) follow my Instagram (find it here) or give the blog a follow – I’d love to hear which books you’d recommend and what you would like to see more of on Fictionforteens.com. The next book I’ll be reviewing is the 2nd book in the Throne of Glass series, so if you want to know if it is as good as the first, stay tuned for a book review out soon!
