Nick, Cass, and Kevin have heard stories about the ruthless robots and
death-camp cities, but now the bots have come to destroy their village. After
their parents are taken, these three siblings cross
unfamiliar terrain and find the city. While the supposed
"death-camp" looks tranquil from a far, they soon discover that the
stories were not wrong about the "ruthless bots" part. But it doesn't
matter, Nick, Cass, and Kevin are ready to risk everything to get their parents
back.
I expected Revolution 19 to be more exciting then it actually
was. There is lots of action, but it felt like Rosenblum rushed to fit
everything in at the end. This makes it hard to feel
the excitement and intensity that should be in the end
because I was forced to re-read parts to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Then, even after rushing to get all those last events in, Rosenblum leaves on a
sudden cliffhanger. Overall, I think it is a good story, but it could have been
written in a way to make it more enjoyable.
