Originally seen on Emily Reads Everything This book picks up right where The Ward ends. It’s not a stand alone novel. When I first picked it up, I knew I was missing something. Luckily The Ward was easily available so I was able to grab that up and read it first. This book was so engrossing. It was such a fun and easy read. Even though I suddenly had two books to read, it wasn’t a chore at all. In the world of the Isle, water is a commodity. It is in such short supply that it has become a currency. If you can afford enough clean water, you can stay out of the sickhouses and avoid the plague. Hopefully. Especially since transmitting the plague is outlawed. They couldn’t make being sick illegal but they did outlaw transmission. Making someone else sick can send you straight to quarantine. Ren only cares about saving her sister of the heart, Aven. She’s willing to do anything, even reveal a miraculous secret fountain of youth. I loved the premise of this book! So interesting and unique. Water is something that is taken for granted. We never think about how important it is for our life and our health. Just look at the news coming out of Flint, Michigan. Without water, you have nothing. Also, Renata is so kickass. The best part about her is how loyal she is. She will do anything. Go to any lengths to protect Aven. Everything Ren does is for Aven. Ren and Aven’s relationship was so close. It was fantastic. However, it also was also a negative. Her greatest strength was also her greatest weakness. She is so interested in saving Aven and sheltering her from the world that she ignores everything else. She approaches life with a single minded intensity that is dangerous. She rushes head long into situations without considering the ramifications. I really liked this book. Fantastic theme. Amazing friendships. You should read it!! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The ending made me think that the story isn't over. I hope book three will be out quicker than the time it took for book two to be released.
