A couple of chapters in and my interest is caught. This is set a few years on from book two, following the previous pattern. We are visiting characters from book one which is interesting.

Excellent opening to the trilogy, cliffhanger meant I had to go straight on. I want the blue cover!

Friends are describing this as bleak and it does get grim. However, there were light moments: loyalty, friendship and even tolerance. Okay, not too much. We also get a glimpse at the cause of this dystopian world.

Mommamanzi I'm a little over a third of the way into reading it, it's really sad. I want SOMETHING good to happen. This first book had a good balance but this one I feel is a tad off (so far). 8y

I first saw this with the forest cover and instantly needed it. The U.K. Cover is completely different 😟. Still, you don't actually see them so... This book was gripping from start to finish. I had quibbles with the twin strategy but still felt it was a worthy read.

As I read this I kept wondering what it reminded me of but never came up with an exact answer. It is fun and whooshes along like a roller-coaster. The premise of princesses fighting for the chance to be empress is hilarious. There are so many other things going on in this book too: espionage; betrayal; war-fare..it's very exciting!

A very exciting part two of the (R)Evolution trilogy. Quite a bit on genetics but this didn't diminish the excitement.

The Vagrant | Peter Newman

This was an excellent read. The main character is mute and on a quest to return an object of import to the Seven. His companions are a baby and a goat. Newman tells this tale through glimpses into the recent past and through commentary by a newer companion, Harm. I read this in one sitting as I literally could not stop reading.

TNbooklover66 I wish I had liked this one more. 8y
Helen-d Lol. We just differed this month 😉 8y
