**This book, formerly titled Haven, has received new cover-art and titling to prepare for the release of it's sequel. The two books together are now known as The Fall of Haven, books one and two called Uprising and Exodus, respectively. More editing has been done to alleviate complaints.**
Before Proposition 172, being a Citizen was a way to separate one’s self from the rest of society. After Proposition 172, the rest of the world truly was separate from you. It was such a simple answer, really. How could one keep every undesirable part of society away from the parts that deserved better? Move it.
In the city of Haven, the dreams of the Citizens have been realized in the Separation project. No longer will people of good stature and breeding be required to interact with the working class, the filthy and disease-ridden rejects that fill the streets. No longer will real people have to suffer junkies, criminals, and thieves. Instead, a cleaner and purer world has been crafted to suit your every need. The best part? Well, all those undesirables had to be worth something, after all. Why not just use them? Give them a short re-education and make them docile workers.
This is the world that a young woman named Kaylee lives in. One where Citizens, the aristocratic elite, capture and enslave ordinary people to suit their needs. This is the Haven of constant fear, where any moment you might be brutally beaten by a gang, stolen by a squad of Citizen “recruiters,” or you might simply starve to death. It is a world of darkness, hidden far below the bright and shining city where the Citizens and their ilk live in splendor. It is a world without hope.
Yet in these dark slums beneath the city of Haven, things are being set in motion. Plans are being carried out, forces are being gathered. The powerful and reclusive slumlord, Elijah, starts a chain of events which will swallow everyone in the city - Citizen and undesirable alike.
Stuck in the middle, Kaylee and

What I really love about this author, he doesn't give you a horrible cliff hanger where you feel obligated to buy the second book. (I did purchase the secondary, but I knew going into it that he'd have an ending that I could enjoy.)
There were other reviews identifying the length of the book, honestly, I found the length perfect. Who wants to read a short book? One as interesting as this one, it's perfect to take on a trip! I've read plenty of books. Kindle unlimited is saving a ton! (I do purchase, if the series is above par.)
Plot: City enclosed by a force field to keep citizens safe. Wealthier/High Influential Citizens want separation, create separation for superior complex reasons, leaving the undesirables under the new city. (The superior citizens still live in a communist society.) The ones underground stay in different factions. The superior citizens capture the undesirables to become mindless slaves. The people below fed up, retaliate.

Uprising The Fall of Haven Book 1 eBook Justin Kemppainen Reviews
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Uprising and its sequel, Exodus. Especially so because I generally don't read a lot of dystopian fiction and wasn't expecting much from a free ebook. Yes, there were still some typos & spelling errors in this 'cleaned-up', free version - but unless you're OCD about such things, I don't feel they interrupt the story flow at all.
There were some areas that seemed too drawn out and others not fleshed out enough, but I've experienced that phenomena with other [well known] fantasy authors and still manage to very much enjoy their work. I didn't feel Uprising lagged at any point to where I felt like putting it down or struggled to finish it.
One of the reasons I don't read a lot of Dystopian fantasy is because they tend to conclude more darkly than what I like. However, the Haven books didn't leave me feeling depressed or brooding at the end. I don't want to give anything away by saying more, but if you tend to shy away from this genre for that reason, Uprising isn't like that. I don't read enough in this sub-genre to provide a truly accurate comparison, but the overall mood/style reminded me a bit of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (but with more of an adult plotline).
Although I wouldn't completely categorize this as 'Young Adult' fiction, I do think violence within the book was sanitized to more of a PG-13 level. I guess that can be good or bad depending on what you like. I personally would have preferred to feel a bit more horrified by events that were clearly meant to be horrific (but didn't quite come across as so).
Overall, I found this to be a terrific, light read. The story moves along quite well (a page-turner, if you will) and almost everything left unfinished at the end of Uprising was concluded nicely in the sequel. It has also inspired me to read more work from independent authors. I'd previously harbored the erroneous assumption that if their books were good, they'd be traditionally published. This is obviously not true, as Uprising was just as good (if not better) than a lot of traditionally published fantasy I've read in the past.
This has potential to be an interesting book, but not as it now stands. The book has purportedly been "edited" since the original self-publication date so I assume I was reading the "improved" version. The story premise is of a dystopean world divded into the Citizen's Haven where the privileged reign supreme and a slum-like underworld where the unwanted live in the shadows and risk being turned into lobotomized slaves by the Citizens. The author had me from the word dystopia, but syntax errors and awkward, juvenile word choices really took away most of the pleasure of reading it. I'm thankful that the majority of typos referred to in previous reviews were cleaned up or I couldn't have gotten to the end. Still, it was slow going. There are some interesting ideas in the book. I enjoyed the suspense around the character Jeffrey and cared what happened to him. I would have liked Kaylee better had she not been so one-dimensional. Her character lacked subtlety and substance. I found Jeffrey and Michaels and maybe Malcolm to be the only characters who showed some realistic complexity and thus earned my interest. I wanted to care about Kaylee as there was ample opportunity in the frightening and gritty circumstances she found herself in to really make me care, but the lack of development of her character had me rolling my eyes at times. She was too reactive, a cardboard cut-out of a tough young girl survivor, lacking a level of tenderness or vulnerability or emotionl substance that would have made her likeable or even believeable. Most of the other characters need some work, too, to give them some dimension and the storyline more credibility. I imagine I would have enjoyed this book had the author hired a professional editor to really edit the issues of syntax and to provide guidance in fleshing out the characters.. For the author It would really help your English-speaking readers enjoy your written word if you would invest in a real editor. Great as a first draft; a bit tedious as a finished product.
