Synopsis: Parvin Blackwater is dead.

At least that's what the Council and the world thinks. But her sacrifice tore down part of the Wall long enough to stir up hope and rebellion in the people. Now she will rise again. Strong, free, and fearless.

Parvin and Solomon must uncover the mysterious clues that Jude left behind in order to destroy the projected Wall once and for all. Meanwhile, the Council schemes to new levels of technology in its attempts to keep the people contained. Can a one-handed Radical and a scarred ex-Enforcer really bring shalom to the world?

I did it! I finished a series! This is like one out of a handful so this is a moment to be celebrated. And for the most part I felt this was a pretty good series. In this book Parvin’s story continues from the last book and the character development, as in the other books, excels for our main characters and the world building was a bit better in this book. I also felt the ending was a very solid ending and it satisfied me as a reader.

However, I felt that the pacing was too fast for this book and the book heavily relied on plot devices to get the story to the ending. I also felt that Parvin was slightly off from the first two books. The book left a lot of loose ends and had some continuity errors.

Verdict: Solid dystopian for a Christian audience, but that can be enjoyed by all.
