Alenna is returning to the UNA after being on
Alpha Island. When they land at the UNA,
Alenna, Liam and Gaudia are incorporated into rebel groups. They are surprised to find their friend David
is in charge of the rebel groups, because they thought he had died on the
Island, which leads them to believe that their information about the rebellion
isn’t complete. Alenna and her friends
have to evade evil government systems to get to the information they need to
overcome the powerful UNA.
This book was
such a disappointment. I have loved the
other two books in the series because it had the perfect amount of action and
character development. This book was all
action and zero character growth. The
ending was abrupt, predictable and read like an outline. It was nice to know what happened to the
characters, but I had to force myself to finish reading.
