Freedom can be bought to the protected city for any Subpar who mines 400 grams
of cirium from the deadly depths of the tunnels. It takes a lifetime to mine
that much cirium for most Subpars, but Orion is the best ore scout Outpost 5
has ever seen, and she is going to get out. Nothing can stop Orion from leaving
the outpost and taking everyone she can with her in the process.
Despite still being unsure about the back story, I loved
being a part of Orion’s desperate search for hope and freedom. Orion is always
on the move, fighting not only for her own survival but for the survival of all
Subpars. Facing innumerable obstacles to their freedom, there is never a good
place to even think about putting this book down. Hopefully someone turns this
action-packed adventure into a movie.
