After loving the first book in this series, it was really exciting to be able to read the next stage of Thalli's journey - finally free of the highly-regulated State she's spent the first seventeen years of her life in. And yet, freedom isn't quite what she thought it would be. People are fighting. People are dying and she has no idea who to trust. Once again, I loved her journey from fear to faith and the way she grows through every situation thrown at her. None of them easy, all of them life-changing. Really enjoyed it and can't wait to read the final book of the trilogy! Highly recommend it to anyone who loves dystopian or fantasy young adult fiction.
