Carey, Anna Rise (Eve #3), 320 p. HarperCollins, 320 p.
APRIL 2013. $18. Language: PG (4 swears, 0 ‘f’),
Violence: PG (hangings); Mature Content: G.
Since her father ordered the death of the love of her life,
Eve has been desperate for a way out from under her father’s grasp. The fighting between the rebels and the
City has escalated and when Eve finds out she is pregnant, she knows the child
is her last tie to Caleb. In a
frantic move, she flees the city, taking a few of the school girls with
her. When she heads back to where
she met Caleb, she finds her best friends, Ruby and Pip, and take them along as
she delivers the girls to Califa.
If she is going to escape her father forever, however, Eve has to return
to the City of Sand.
While I
enjoyed catching up with Eve and her friends, I realized after the reading that
really nothing had happened except for an assassination and the very cool
reappearance of Arden. Too much is
left unsaid and too much is a repeat of what went on before. From what happens in the last
paragraph, it seems like there might be a fourth book, but I have no real
idea.
