Other than that it’s a pretty clean read. FYI though this book isn’t as violent as book one, it still contains some pretty gruesome violence especially for a YA book. Overall I really enjoyed this book! It had a little bit of everything I like in a young adult dystopian: a strong heroine/hero, a little romance (basically if there is a chance for Chord and West to kiss they do), lots of action, and some mystery/suspense. So if you’ve read book one and were like me (on the fence), I really believe that will change once you read this installment.
There are quite a few answers in this book to questions that I had in the first, like how was Kersh founded, who started the Alt program. The plot flowed quickly and I found myself unable to read it fast enough! Between the action and suspense of West being a striker again to her romantic encounters with Chord, the story flew by. I thought the showed a strength and defining moment for her. She confides in not just Chord, but Dire and Baer as well. Then this last strike makes her do a 180. Before this last strike, she relied in herself, lying to those she loved and cared for to protect them. At this point in the book, we see a turning point for West’s character. Let’s just say the last target is already a complete and someone she recognizes, someone very close to her. I would accept that job and kill three people, especially if it meant my son would never have to go through the horrors that West has.Īnd without spoiling anything-because this book needs to experienced first-hand-West finds a way around the Board’s request but still completes her task, that is till she reaches the last target. How can she pass that up? Being a mother myself, I can tell you I would make the same decision she does. She has just three targets, then he promises to do two things for her: remove her striker marks and make sure that any child she has is born without an Alt. A member of the Board asks West to become a striker again. I felt no empathy for West and at times found myself intensely disliking her.
I loved this sequel! I so torn reading book one.
When a member of the Board approaches her and threatens all that she now holds dear, West must become a striker again. She has a loving relationship with Chord, a good job with Baer, and no one is trying to kill her. West is now a complete and seems to be moving on with her life. Divided by Elsie Chapman is book two of Dualed and picks up a few months after the end of book one.
