About the Book:
Wren Connolly thought she'd left her human side behind when she dies five years ago and came back 178 minutes later as a Reboot. With her new abilities of strength, speed, and healing—along with a lack of emotions—Wren 178 became the perfect soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation). Then Callum 22 came along and changed everything.
Now that they've both escaped, they're ready to start a new life in peace on the Reboot reservation. But Micah 163, the Reboot running the reservation, has darker plans in mind: to wipe out the humans. All of them. Micah has been building a Reboot army for years and is now ready to launch his attack on the cities. Callum wants to stick around and protect the humans. Wren wants nothing more than to leave all the fighting behind them.
With Micah on one side, HARC on the other, and Wren and Callum at odds in the middle, there's only one option left...
It's time for Reboots to become rebels.
My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed the follow-up to Reboot. The book is told from both Wren and Callum's point of view, and Tintera does a nice job of giving each of them a unique voice. I liked Wren to begin with, but I really liked Callum's chapters. He's more someone that most can identify with, where Wren is fascinating because she's so different, at least so different from me personally. She evolves and grows a great deal in this book, though, and Tintera did a great job of developing her character and Callum's as well. The book brings up some significant moral questions from the perspective of the society and world Wren and Callum are living in, and seeing how both respond and handle those issues is very interesting. Like with all dystopian books, politics and world-building are significant to the story, and Tintera does a great job with making things interesting, well thought out, and unique. Sometimes dystopian novels can start to all seem too much like each other, but she really came up with something very unique here. She has really developed, complex characters as well. I'm impressed with her writing and look forward to more books by her in the future.
