I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Another great continuation into the world of Adria's life. Not as action packed as some of the other books but still holds a powerful punch as we actually are growing with Adria as she learns not only how to become a runner/hunter but life lessons as well. As most of the story is her looking back, it took me a few minutes to realize towards the ending that we had switched back to the present day with her on the ship. So it was a bit confusing there and I had to go back a re-read that section once I figured it out. Other than that I was again transported into this world where you once again walk among the people in their daily lives.
Although this wasn't one of my favorite of the 7 books, it is definitely an integral part of the series as it really builds on the foundation of the story as some unknowns are discovered, we find out the history of some of the other main characters, and we start to see Adria move from child to woman in not only body but mind. Thinking for herself and realizing that although she loves the adults in her life, her teachers, they will not always agree on the lessons or choices that must be made. Looking forward to Part Eight!
