Synopsis:
What happens when you live longer than you wanted to?
Parvin Blackwater wanted to die, but now she’s being called to be a leader. The only problem is, no one wants to follow.
The Council is using Jude’s Clock-matching invention to force “new-and-improved” Clocks on the public. Those who can’t afford one are packed into boxcars like cattle and used for the Council’s purposes. Parvin and Solomon team up to rescue the people. Instead, they find themselves on a cargo ship of Radicals headed out to sea. What will the Council do to them? And why are people suddenly dying before their Clocks have zeroed-out?
My Opinion: Oh the emotional trauma this book put me though. This whole series, really. Anyhow, my opinion. I love. Do I really need to say anything else? Okay, maybe I should.
This book started out fairly slow, and honestly, depressing. I am not complaining about that, just stating the fact. Towards the middle and the end though, it picked up, and was a lot higher action. I loved this book start to finish, even if it hurt me at times. It was so good.
Well, Nadine Brandes, you have impressed me yet again. I was not disappointing. I had very high expectations… and they were exceeded!
