Description In Pursuance Of Books 新世界より [Shinsekai Yori] (From the New World (Novel))
What a book! That was a monster, with 900+ pages.. Took me so long to finally finish it. But it was absolutely worth it.I watched the anime version first and fell in love with it, so I decided to look for the actual novel. It wasn't translated officially, that's why I read fan translation.
The worldbuilding is stunning! The author constructed all the things related to a "new world", from history to biology of this world. It was rich, detailed and interesting to read about brand new world in the future. And with all the tranquility and peacefulness of this world, the plot twist comes when you realize that the world is not as innocent as you thought. I really love utopia-turn-dystopia books and this story delivers it good. The truth was chilling and horrifying.
The plot is amazing. Sure, there were some boring long parts, but generally, it was full of excitement and mystery. The whole novel consists of three parts, combining the childhood, teen years and adulthood of the characters. The idea of "cantus" ( psychokinetic powers), minoshiro and other genetically engineered animals, death feedback (attack inhibition) was used so cleverly that you wouldn't even question it. There were plot twists at each parts and heart-breaking events. The book was incredibly depressing...
The characters were great, especially the main ones. I really loved Satoru, Shun, Saki and Maria. Their friendship, love and support were too strong, although sad things kept happening. So sad that I didn't want to believe it. Here, the fine line between villain and hero was erased, giving us a really complicated story.
There were some intimate moments and some kind of new things that is not quite right for our current society, however they were what made the book interesting and fresh. Honestly, it was one of my favorite science-fiction novels of all time!

This was captivating and affecting throughout, despite being fan-translated (very well). I imagine that Id give a 4.5 or higher if Id read this in its original language.Pros: I loved all the characters, villains and protagonists alike Saki especially, I think shes a great protagonist. I also loved the world so, so much. Its so interesting and since its sci-fi, nothing felt arbitrary. The whole plot was a real page-turner; the author did a super good job at getting me hooked on
Fantastic read, the best light-novel I have ever read. There are really interesting topics in this book, reminded me of Orwell's world. The fights were unique and the worldbuilding is top-quality. There was also an awesome twist at the end which really surprised me. I can only recommend this book.

It was a very difficult read, but worth it.
This book should be regarded as a classic of dystopian stories. At first glance, Yusuke Kishi created a dream world, but, as the story goes, we can see that everything is based on fear, control, lack of knowledge and a bloody past.I was also impressed by the narrative. I could feel that I was Saki, struggling with the lost memories, the truth about her society and the pain to loose her friends/lovers one by one. Even though the book is long, I have felt that the story was always moving fast.This
"As human beings, no matter how many tears we have to shed to learn a lesson, the moment the tears are dry, we forget." I finished this book a few days ago and I'm still in shock and awe of this masterpiece.The story is about a group of teenagers and their lives in Japan, many many (hundreds of) years in the future. In that time, humans have evolved and now they have telekinetic powers and the ability to control matter and yet, despite such an amazing advancement, we see that people live the
This is one of my favourite stories of all times! I hope it'll be published in English or Spanish someday.
