In the series debut The Testing, sixteen-year-old Cia Vale was chosen by the United Commonwealth government as one of the best and brightest graduates of all the colonies . . . a promising leader in the effort to revitalize postwar civilization. In Independent Study, Cia is a freshman at the University in Tosu City with her hometown sweetheart, Tomas—and though the government has tried to erase her memory of the brutal horrors of The Testing, Cia remembers. Her attempts to expose the ugly truth behind the government's murderous programs put her—and her loved ones—in a world of danger. But the future of the Commonwealth depends on her.
My Review:
This was such a fantastic read! I'm so glad to have finally continued with this series, I loved being in this world some more, and learning more, and it was a really fantastic story! And I can't wait to read the final book, it's just so good!
We knew the events of the last book-but Cia doesn't. So that was an interesting dynamic. But when she finds the recording that she left herself, things quickly become more intense and I had to know what was going to happen next!
On one hand, this book is less taxing then the first, the testing is done and passed. But on the other hand, the testing was brutal, and these are the people who passed it, and who created this system in the first place, and she's in the middle of it all. Yeah.
With Cia and Tomas, and a few other characters that we previously met, like Will and Michal, there were plenty of plot strings to continue on from the first book. And the places that they went! And with that ending, I need to know how it's all going to end!
This was an amazing book and I can't wait to finish off this series!
