In the forty years since the Vagantur landed on Faloiv, the planet has existed in a tenuous peace between the humans who live in the enclosed community of N'Terra and the Faloii, the indigenous population. But after uncovering the shadowy secrets of the Council's newly elected leader and helping a kidnapped Faloii man escape, sixteen-year-old Octavia knows that conflict is looming. Her discovery of a separate population of humans—including her grandparents—only serves to show her how out of touch humans are with reality on Faloiv.
Then the Faloii discover the N'Terran's latest experiment: an artificially weaponized creature, and Octavia realizes that it's up to her to prevent her people from causing any further destruction. More determined than ever, Octavia and her friends set out to understand the scope of humanity's history. However, nothing can prepare them for the full weight of what they discover about both their home on Faloiv and the Origin planet. And as she learns to control her ability to communicate through the Artery, the network that connects everything on Faloiv, Octavia must act to change her people's future before the natural balance on the planet shifts forever.
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book! I really enjoyed the first, but it'd been over a year, maybe closer to 2, so I kinda forgot a lot of what happened, but getting back into this world with these characters, I couldn't put the story down!
We learn so much in this book. There's a lot of history that was covered up, or that they didn't even know existed. And I loved going on that adventure, to learn more about the world. There's the present threat that the Faloii would decide against humanity-and the planet would rebel. So that was a ticking time bomb she was up against!
Octavia goes through a lot of changes in this book. She draws closer to the Faloii and Faloiv, away from humans. Which causes clashes with her friends, who think she should pick humanity. But honestly, after all the horror that we've caused, why should she?
I went in knowing that that there should be a 3rd book in this series, that it was written, but hadn't been bought by a publisher. And to know that the story's ending, that we might not get it, that's a hard pill to swallow. There's a lot left still to go, and I really hope that we get that 3rd book! I need to know how it ends!
I enjoyed this book so much, and I'm hoping that we get that 3rd book!
