"Siege" was a great, action-packed read for younger teens. It was filled with some nail-biting moments and I liked the calm, level-headed maturity Max showed in those moments. It was a quick read, but I felt it needed to be fleshed out in parts.

However, I did like the backstories of the young people who became the finalists at the Special Forces Cadets. Max, Abby and Sammy were definitely my favourite characters and the friendship that developed between them was touching. An enjoyable read and I would happily read the sequel when it is released. ( )
