The world is in chaos.
After Saul’s strike on Oslo—one seemingly led by Maia herself—the Effigies’ reputation is in shambles. Now they’re being hunted by nations across the globe, grouped in with the very terrorists they’ve been trying to stop.
With Maia’s resurrected twin, June, carrying out vicious attacks across the world, everyone believes Maia is a killer. Belle has gone rogue, Chae Rin and Lake have disappeared, and the Sect is being dismantled and replaced by a terrifying new world order helmed by Blackwell. As for Saul, his ultimate plan still remains a mystery.
And Maia? No one has seen or heard from her in weeks.
It’s all somehow connected—Saul, Phantoms, the Effigies, everything. But if the Effigies can’t put the pieces together soon, there may not be much left of the world they’ve fought so desperately to save.
About the Author: Sarah Raughley grew up in Southern Ontario writing stories about freakish little girls with powers because she secretly wanted to be one. She is a huge fangirl of anything from manga to scifi/fantasy TV to Japanese role-playing games, but she will swear up and down at book signings that she was inspired by Jane Austen. On top of being a YA writer, Sarah has a PhD in English, which makes her doctor, so it turns out she didn’t have to go to medical school after all.
Recommended Age: Young Adult
Genre: Fantasy
My Review: This one was great and a really good ending to the series but I have to say that parts of it did drag a little. But, all in all I really enjoyed it and the story. I would say that some of this could have been cut out as a lot of the story just wasn't needed and really felt like it slowed the book down. I think that it was ok but it just kind of felt like the author wasn't sure what they wanted to do so they just tossed some battles in to make the story move on and really didn't do a lot of story. I do think that if this series becomes a movie or tv show that this book would adapt very well to the screen.
Go Into This One Knowing: Kind of slow, LOTS of battles
