The Isle by Jordana Frankel is book two in The Ward series and I was definitely looking forward to this book. Admittedly, it had been quite a while since I read book one so jumping right into this book, I was a bit lost as to where book one left off and where we were picking back up.

Ren, with Derek and Callum, had discovered a cure for the Blight and when her sister, Aven is kidnapped, Ren must save her. This book took a bit for me to get back into but once things got moving, I found myself pulled back into this world. The chapters rotate between Ren’s and Aven’s points of view and I found that helpful as it gave me some insight into what was happening with both characters since they were separated from each other for a good portion of the book.

The characters are solid in this series. Ren is smart and willing to do anything to help Aven and Aven is the same. We get a bit more of the Tetai and also learn more about who the Governor is and why he is doing the things he is doing.

Overall I enjoyed this installment and thought Frankel did a good job of wrapping up this series. If you are looking for a well written post-apocalyptic, dystopian story that has solid characters, definitely consider checking this series out.

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy!
