Oasis
Oasis is situated in a post-apocalyptic Earth where remaining humans must live inside a protective dome to prevent death from goo. As civilisation has progressed, this sanctuary has evolved into an ideal society. People simply contemplate food and it materialises in their hands. This is where we encounter protagonists Theo and his companion Phoe. I often caught myself wondering whether Phoe existed or if Theo was simply unstable. The narrative unfolds through various escapades and Theo's attempts to determine who Phoe is and whether she's even genuine. Although the plot shares similarities with the Matrix and Caprica, I must commend the author for crafting a distinctive narrative. Avoiding spoilers, the storyline can be challenging to follow but persevere. The ending's cliffhanger compelled me to proceed to the second instalment.
Limbo
Limbo follows Theo and Phoe's journey and hardships. Within this book we discover more regarding the Oasis and its inhabitants. Limbo occurs on Birth Day. In the Oasis, all humans are born simultaneously via synthetic wombs. During Birth Day the Youths, Adults, and Elders undergo trials. Theo must succeed in a trial so Phoe can reveal her powers. We receive further information concerning the Forebears and their construction of Oasis society. This book proved the most challenging for me to engage with. The storyline felt artificial and monotonous. Every page seemed tedious. The Envoy's reveal struck me as quite obvious. I also found myself increasingly frustrated with how Theo and Phoe's connection developed. This book's conclusion disappointed me and nearly made me abandon the series.
Haven
Haven picks up straight after Birth Day. Just when Theo believes he's secure he's faced with one challenge after another. This was my preferred book of the trilogy. It was quick-moving and kept me engrossed throughout the whole book. Haven absolutely did not let me down.
