The Rule of Many

Excellent Middle Chapter. In this middle entry into the dystopian YA trilogy at hand, we get a solid second chapter that does exactly what a middle chapter is supposed to - continue to build out the world while amping up both the action and the consequences. Here we even get a couple of interesting wrinkles thrown in. And of course the inevitable final clash... that turns out to not be quite so final. Which means it aces the final thing the middle book has to do - get you to come back for Book 3. And in this case, you're absolutely going to want Book 3 to see just how this gets fully wrapped up. Solidly done in world while perhaps playing a bit to closely to the "rules" of the genre. Very much recommended.
