The rebel resistance plots against a government that rules with cruelty and cunning. Gifted student and Testing survivor Cia Vale vows to fight.

She wants to put an end to the Testing, but she can't do it alone.

This is the chance to lead that Cia has trained for—but who will follow? Plunging through layers of danger and deception, Cia must risk the lives of those she loves—and gamble on the loyalty of her lethal classmates.

Who can Cia trust?

Great series. Weak ending.

I really loved this series but I wanted more in the ending. The end felt rushed and weird. Also I wish there was more elaboration on Tomas and her relationship. Romance was missing. Author missed the art of “show don’t tell.” She would just say in the middle of the sentence, “and while we kissed I hope he knew I loved him.” And it’s like so weak. Walk the readers through the kiss! Do you know what I mean?

spoiler

spoiler the three book were good but the ending. yeah that made me wish never listen to any of it. I get it but hard nope.

Ending felt rushed

This author had woven a fantastically elaborate story over the first two books and I loved all the characters, they all had depth and differences. You could tell the author took time to create a sense of the scene in each setting that took place, they were very descriptive. While listening I could tell the finale was coming but then I looked at the amount of time left in the book and there was less than 45 minutes to close it all up. For all the books to be around 8 hours and have the finale and ending all happen in 45 minutes was disappointing. I didn’t want it to drag on, but it felt very rushed and I had no sense of closure. I don’t know if the author left it that way in hopes of writing an additional book but I just look back and think… seriously, what just happened. Wish it would have a better sense of closure, but the story as a whole was great and the author did a fantastic job.
