Cori’s life took a turn after escaping
Antius and rescuing some of those left behind. Disease spreads through the survivors
and they take their anger out on Cori for those dead and sick. Her boyfriend
asks her for the impossible and she runs to The City (the city in ruins that is
near the colony, Mercy) to escape. But Antius isn’t ready to stop causing
problems for Cori.
Oh my. I don’t even know where to begin
with this book. It was so intense! I
could not put this book down for anything and it was excellent. The only
downfall is the love triangle that is presented in this book because I totally
wanted her to end up with the other guy.
My only problem with this book was what I
just mentioned. I also didn’t like how Dylan changed so much. The more he
interacted with Cori, the more I wanted to punch him. I just felt like she
loved him more than he loved her. (Spoilers)
I didn’t like that after their big fight and when they see each other again,
that she immediately decides she loves him (when she really hadn’t been moping
over leaving him). (End Spoilers) That
and I just loved Tyce. When he was introduced in the first book, I thought him
an interesting character, but I didn’t really get to see him enough to really
have an opinion. I definitely didn’t understand Cori’s reaction to him kissing
her in the first book, but I loved the possibilities it created for this book.
After finishing this book (and staying up
way too late to do so), I was an emotional wreck. The book was so intense and
there were so many ups and downs. Towards the end, the book handed out one blow
after the other. This made it crazy good. E.R. Arroyo did an amazing job
packing so much emotion and action, which makes for a great writer.
I would highly recommend this book to
anyone who likes a good dystopian book. It has easily become one of my
favorites of that genre.
Sure, I had some issues with who she ended
up with and a few other things, but that is more due to personal preference.
The writer did an excellent job crafting a believable and satisfying plot. Yes,
the ending may be slightly cheesy with everything being happy again, but it was
just what the book needed after the roller-coaster ride it took me on.
Just so you know my state of mind right
after reading this book, here are the tweets from the moment after finishing…
And cue the moment right after finishing a super intense book & so many emotions are raging inside, but there's no outlet for them #GoodBook

I stayed up too late because I couldn't put my book down, now I can't sleep because of the emotional turmoil it caused. #GoodBook

Can exhaustion overcome my book withdrawals? We shall see... Or, I'm just going to have a terrible night sleep as my mind digests the book.
