n dirty review This was gooood! It was a quick read, action packed, intense, and engaging, I loved the characters to a heart wrenching degree! All of them! They were so well developed and layered and I just felt like I KNEW them.
The plot definitely had depth and thought provoking themes embedded within, Where was the buzz and excitement for this one Or did I miss it!! : if you haven't checked this one out yet I definitely recommend it! I'll be preordering Clanless.
. . need to see what happens my lil gang! I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review Thank you Jaime for sending me this and a huge thank you to Crystal for giving me the email address to request this!
I am beyond words right now.
This story is incredible! It's intense and action packed from the very beginning, I absolutely love these characters! Their troubles and conflicts are SO heavy and I am in awe over what all occurred in this book.
I desperately need a sequel!!! This book brought me out of my reading slump, For that, I am ever so grateful!!
It was a perfect mix of action, suspense and excitement coupled with a few heartwrenching moments.
I absolutely adored it! Y'all! This book effing rocks! What an awesome debut! I need more right now! Also Jen I has a theory.
. .
Everybody make way! Jennifer Jenkins is here with Nameless and let me tell you, it will leave you breathless!
Oh wow.
Where do I even start This book left me speechless! I seriously don't know what to say, all I know is that THIS BOOK IS INSANELY GOOD AND YOU SHOULD READ IT! All caps.
That way, you know that I am dead serious,
I keep repeating this on my review whenever I read a book from this genre: I am not a fan.
Its not that I stay away, but dystopia/fantasy isn't really my thing, I'm really more of a romcom kind of girl, But there's something about Nameless that made me want to read it, And boy! I AM SO GLAD I DID, I can't believe I almost passed this one,
The plot of Nameless is not really simple, But hang in there because that doesn't mean it will keep you from enjoying the book, It's actually the opposite. See, Nameless has clans, rich history, a terrible and wonderful world, and never ending wars, It feels like there's a lot of things happening but in truth, you will not even complain about it.
Jennifer Jenkins has this magical writing powers, You will be hypnotized and the first chapter will instantly suck you in! I did not even protested, because I was happily AND hungrily following the story.
Every page is making me want to know what happens next, Every page leaves me with need!
The characters in this book are all completely fleshed out! From the main character to the love interest and the side characters as well, they all have depths.
They all have interesting backstories, useful roles and all of leaves a mark, Zo is everything I'm looking for in a YA dystopia heroine, She's wonderful, she's a fighter and she's flawed, I couldn't wait for more from her, I still see a lot of growing and I can't wait to witness that,
The romance was slow burn, . . scorching to die for. It was full of intrigue, desire and mistrust, Its the kind of romance that will break your heart but still, leaves it with hope and FEELS.
You will never run out of feels with this two, Gryphon ladies, GRYPHON! YOU HAVE TO MEET HIM Y'ALL, This man is your next book boyfriend,
I have so many things to say, so many words to write because my heart is just bursting with love for this book.
But I will just tell you this: THIS IS THE NEXT BIG THING! Jennifer Jenkins' writing was always visual, so close at hand it is searing! Nameless will captivate you with its furious and excellent pacing, it will not let you go.
If somebody wants a stayupallnight kind of book that will leave them breathless Nameless will always be at the tip of my tounge! Where has this been all my life And why isn't it more popular wow.
just . wow.
I was floored and impressed by this book, The writing, the world building, the story, the clans, the character development, just EVERYTHING! This GIF is exactly how I felt while reading it:
I couldn't put it down, Brilliant this book is brilliant and I must own hard copy of it!
ALRIGHT! So this book is about four clans the Kodiak, the Raven, the Wolf and the Ram.
These clans have been at war for centuries but the Kodiak, the Raven and the Wolf all have a common enemy the Ram.
The Ram tribe is known for their ruthlessness and dislike for the other clans, the Ram feel like they are the superior clan and prey on the lesser clans in death and destruction.
Those refugees left become their slaves and are treated inferior and horribly by the clan, they constantly live in fear for their lives, they even lose their names and are called "nameless.
"
Zo is a girl from the Wolf clan, who has lost her parents in a raid to the Ram clan.
With nobody left but her sister, Zo decides to join the allied clans an infiltrate the Ram, To do so she must become a "nameless" as well and claim herself to be a refugee and be willing to be their slave.
In order to pass off as a willing refugee Zo must disguise herself because she is also very pretty and so she keeps mud all over herself to help ward off her prettyness.
The Ram are already very suspicious of her because she looks like she belongs from the Wolf clan and the Ram HATE the Wolf.
However she begs to stay even after her sister secretly follows her and is caught, so in order to protect herself, her sister and the cause she lets them know she is a Healer so they put her up to the ultimate test and if he dies.
. . well, so does she.
I LOVED the character development in this story, I LOVED watching the characters really struggle Zo to me was best in this aspect,
The romance was perfect, it didn't overwhelm the story it was very subtle and not sure if there is a love triangle or not.
. . hmmm
Overall: Everything about this book was freaking awesome and I can't WAIT to read book, And I SO plan on buy a hard copy of this so put on my shelves, oh. my word. LOOOVE!
Sexual Content: moderate
Language: mild
Violence: heavy
Drugs/Alcohol: mild
Zo, a young Wolf, willing to go behind enemy lines if that means helping the Allies.
Not wanting to live under clan rules and sick of the Ram's raids on the innocent and vulnerable Zo goes in disguised as a Nameless healer.
One her way to finding information she makes unlikely friends with Joshua and Gryphon, Two Ram's who are starting to prove her wrong about everything she ever believed a Ram member to be.
Gryphon, a Ram, who is only worried about getting his family's honor back and will do anything to obtain it.
Until he meets Zo and gets to know her, Is he willing to give it all up for a Wolf or is he willing to fight for the Ram
Wow.
WOW, WOW, WOW! I have no words to describe how much I love this book, Jenkins writes characters who are just so easy to love, and when you love a character it makes the book so much better.
And I loved all the characters, Zo, Tess, Joshua and Gryphon, Gryphon is definitely my favorite but who wouldn't love Gryphon Of course I do have a soft spot for our heroine, Zo.
And the romance, the one thing that usually brings me to a book because the book revolves around the romance, Nameless does not revolve around a romance, I mean, . . it's there, but it's not prominent, The book starts with action, adventure and danger, Slowly it evolves into a romance, And not an overpowering one either, Which honestly made Gryphon and Zo's romance that much better,
I am ready for the sequel, I cannot wait to see how Gryphon, Zo, Tess, Joshua and their group get through their next adventure!
I am so excited for everyone to read this, and I am going to recommend it to everyone I know.
I hope that you read it, and I hope that you all enjoy it just as much as I did!
Full to come!.

I seriously loved this book! Sure I wished there was more action, but I can just smell war in the next book.
I wish this author had more readers, this book deserves to be read, I liked it.
It was an interesting scenario and what followed from there was also pretty interesting, To be honest, I think that lent itself more towards romance, or perhaps I was just dreaming of an undercurrent that that wasn't actually prominent until the end of the book.
Electrifying and intense and instantly and completely captivating, NAMELESS is one of those reads that will make you race through the pages to find out whats going to happen next.
With a fascinating new world to discover, one that is primitive, harsh, brutal, and intriguing new characters to meet who are fierce and determined and deadly, some of whom are cruel and others who are compassionate, you will be immediately pulled into the story and youll never want the journey to end.
Zo was determined to help the Allies, even if it meant sacrificing herself, While she knew she might be able to get beyond the wall of Rams Gate, she held out no hope of getting back out.
But it would be worth it if she could discover anything about her enemy that could be used to help take them down.
She was the Allies best chance of getting inside, Her abilities as a Healer would hopefully make her useful enough to the Ram to keep her alive long enough to fulfill her mission.
And it might have worked,
If only she hadnt let her rage blind her, she would have known that the two people who cared most about her wouldnt let her go so easily.
While she was more than willing to risk her own life to avenge her parents deaths, she would never have risked her sister Tesss life or her best friend Gabes.
Now with something to lose shed have to be careful, She couldnt take any unnecessary chances, She couldnt risk being discovered as anything other than one of the nameless, And shed have to find a way to do the impossible to get herself and her sister back over the wall.
Jennifer Jenkins immerses readers into her story right from the start, There is no long lead up to Zo putting her plan into action, There is no lengthy backstory to slow the pace, She brings the action, the suspense, the intrigue from the getgo,
She keeps readers riveted by making them curious to know more about the nameless, more about what made Zo so vengeful, what made the Ram so aggressive, how they got so powerful, whether Zo will succeed or if shell fail.
She lets her story unfold from not just Zos perspective, but from that of another incredibly appealing character, Gryphon, who is brave, powerful, loyal, determined, but also merciful and conflicted.
And she introduces a heartfelt romance that is not of the “instalove” variety, she builds the foundation for a much expanded world in later books in the series, she teases bits and pieces of information about the other clans, and she reveals hidden plots, sympathizers, and allies, making for an interesting and engaging and unputdownable read.
NAMELESS is powerful and surprising and unexpected, It tackles a number of issues that mirror reallife issues that have arisen throughout the history of the world starvation, genocide, enslavement, sacrifice, the cost of retaliation, doing whatever it takes to survive.
It explores the many facets of human nature, It shows opposing perspectives, giving readers a more complete picture in order that they might be more understanding and sympathetic.
It has a number of strong characters that are immensely likable, Its set in a world that is coldblooded, severe, ruthless but still allows for kindness and beauty, Its a story that is beautiful and breathtaking and one that is absolutely not to be missed,
Original GR comments:
Amazing read, LOVED the world and characters, So glad to hear this is a series, Because it's one I will totally be following to the end, The story focuses on Zo and Gryphon but it also introduces this interesting world that I can't wait to know more about in future
books.
And I love that this didn't have an insta love story it totally wouldn't have felt right, Begrudging respect, reluctant sympathies, basic human decency, compassion were the feelings and emotions that ruled their stories,
It's an exciting and totally addictive read, TK. .
