The only downfall is the love triangle that is presented in this book because I totally wanted her to end up with the other guy. It was so intense! I could not put this book down for anything and it was excellent. I don’t even know where to begin with this book. But Antius isn’t ready to stop causing problems for Cori. Her boyfriend asks her for the impossible and she runs to The City (the city in ruins that is near the colony, Mercy) to escape. Disease spreads through the survivors and they take their anger out on Cori for those dead and sick. Cori's experiences in The City with Tyce and his people, including the elders, particularly highlighted her growth of character and I found her fascinating and exceptional.įor those of you who feel that YA dystopia and PA books are a thing of the past or that it is missing originality and a freshness it once had, you must pick up this series, it will change your mind and renew your excitement in this genre.Ĭori’s life took a turn after escaping Antius and rescuing some of those left behind. Arroyo portrays Cori's vulnerability, especially her weakness and affection for Tyce and her selfishness, especially poignant and real. Hallelujah for the tempting Tyce and the beauty he brings to this story! Of all the amazing characters I admire in this series, Tyce grabbed my heart and I found myself charmed by him, aching for him and ultimately crying over him.įor me, a fierce, complicated and flawed heroine takes the cake every time and Cori is my favorite "kick ass and take names" kind of protagonist.

Even more pressing on every anticipatory nerve I possess was my desire to discover if Tyce would reemerge to compete with Dylan for Cori's affection. I absolutely loved Sovereign and I was dying to find out how Cori dealt with life outside of Antius once she was finally free of the tyrannical Nathan. Arroyo did not disappoint with her heart racing sequel to Sovereign, The Offering. Perhaps the best gift an author can give readers is a sequel that supersedes every literary expectation and yet answers all of our burning questions.
