Yet, they remain formidable fighters, whereas the Supreme Commander and his acolyte army are depicted as self-serving, intensely unpleasant, and frankly quite stupid.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"Hasdr P8FAI nXREP DWkY9\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-njdj21101\"><span class=\"I47Iv nXREP\"><span>Bates paints Earth, now the land of the Tracliodytes, as a vibrant, visual Utopia. The boys work at Creekside Meadows, helping to harvest wildflowers, the primary food source for the Tracliodytes. There are some lovely, imaginative touches and highly inventive, sometimes magically quirky descriptive passages. Bates beautifully captures the innocence and childlike wonder of the Defectives. His writing, although gloriously offbeat in places, neatly mirrors the children&#8217;s uncomplicated emotions and authenticity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"Hasdr P8FAI nXREP DWkY9\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-mjxt81103\"><span class=\"I47Iv nXREP\"><span>Whereas the chapters set within the halcyon environs of Creekside Meadows are suffused with a playful, eternal-summer glow, those below ground are infected with a stark, malign darkness, and Bates subtly alters the tone accordingly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"Hasdr P8FAI nXREP DWkY9\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-q377j1105\"><span class=\"I47Iv nXREP\"><span>As further orphans escape their underground prison, he begins to layer the story, introducing factions and backstories, involving a host of interesting characters, some imbued with a comic energy, others, such as Rex and Orly, with poignancy and a sense of foreboding. Notwithstanding, at this stage, there is a definite heroes\/villains demarcation, although the reader senses this may pivot or be sorely tested in future books.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"Hasdr P8FAI nXREP DWkY9\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-l07971107\"><span class=\"I47Iv nXREP\"><span>However, overall, he maintains his cheery briskness, even during some murky scenes, such as Benton Snaggleroot\u2019s abduction of six-year-old Stephanie. Nonetheless, Kyla and Fae, two escaped Defectives, are not quite so convincing in their portrayals as Len and Alex. Additionally, the book would have benefited from a sharper edit, there are areas of repetition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"Hasdr P8FAI nXREP DWkY9\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-6smoo1109\"><span class=\"I47Iv nXREP\"><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span>The Defectives<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0is an enjoyable, original, and thought-provoking start to Bates\u2019s Creekside Chronicles that leaves the reader intrigued by how this versatile writer will further develop the clever, creative concept that underpins this opening instalment.
