Nina Oberon's life has changed enormously in the last few months. When her mother was killed, Nina discovered the truth about her father, the leader of the Resistance. And now she sports the same Governing Council ordered tattoo of XVI on her wrist that all sixteen-year-old girls have. The one that announces to the world that she is easy prey to predators. But Nina won't be anyone's stereotype. And when she joins an organization of girls working within the Resistance, she knows that they can put an end to one of the most terrifying secret programs the GC has ever conceived. Because the truth always comes out . . . and the consequences can be deadly.
My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book! Things are more complicated then there were after XVI, and yeah, it was really great to see how Nina dealt with that! The whole thing with the tattoos, well, yeah, sucks, and is horrible, but they're fighting it!
So now that Nina has the tattoo, well, she also has the surrounding one, too, her life hasn't changed as much as she thought it would. Because she's not the stereotypical girl with the tattoo. But then it turns out that there are quite a few girls who aren't like that!
It feels like the government is out to get Nina and her sister. Her grandparents are declared unfit parents, and her grandfather is arrested by B.O.S.S., which really sucks! And then there's the whole mystery that is running through this book, because the government is horrible, we know that, but proving that is another thing entirely!
Really enjoyed how it ended! They might have succeeded in their mission-only time will tell. There were losses, but ending with Nina with her dad, well, yeah, that's a pretty great ending! I can't wait for the 3rd book! I want more!
I enjoyed this book so much, it was such a great sequel, and I really need that 3rd book now!
