About the Book:
Five years ago, Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest. After 178 minutes she came back as a Reboot: stronger, faster, able to heal, and less emotional. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return. Wren 178 is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. Now seventeen years old, she serves as a soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation).
Wren’s favorite part of the job is training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst she’s ever seen. As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically human. His reflexes are too slow, he’s always asking questions, and his ever-present smile is freaking her out. Yet there’s something about him she can’t ignore. When Callum refuses to follow an order, Wren is given one last chance to get him in line—or she’ll have to eliminate him. Wren has never disobeyed before and knows if she does, she’ll be eliminated, too. But she has also never felt as alive as she does around Callum.
The perfect soldier is done taking orders.
My Thoughts:
This is one that my friend Sarah wrote about on her blog a while back, and I came across it at my library and recognized it. Sarah and I have similar taste in books, so I knew I should check it out. I really liked this one and now need to get the sequel to it. Tintera has created a really interesting and unique dystopian world that I loved losing myself in while reading the book. Her characters are well-developed, complex, and likable. The book is very action-packed and keeps you engrossed and entertained page after page. I'm really impressed that it's the author's debut novel, as it reads like a seasoned writer penned it. If you like dystopian literature, be sure and check this one out.
