About the author

K. A. Riley is a writer of speculative and science fiction, dedicated to creating worlds just different enough from our own to be entertaining, intriguing and a little frightening all at once. For Riley, writing isn't a job. It's a laboratory where readers can wander into a land of ideas; it's a playground where they can scamper around, giggling, gasping, and freaking out to their hearts' content.

Riley is the top-secret pen-name of a NYT and USA Today best-selling author.

I've read all 3 books to this series. I read a lot of dystopian type, the world ending novels. And this series got kind of boring in certain parts to where I didn't want to finish it.
But, what struck me as odd with the author is she never mentions food or water during this whole series. The main character is used to having all her needs met and eating and drinking plenty of water. Yet when she is on the run and goes to the poorer parts of her world, she never once mentions hunger pains or thirst or how hard it is to live without. If you are a person who is used to getting all your daily needs met, then get that taken away, you will definitely notice a difference in your psychological and physical health. The author wasn't realistic when she wrote this book by leaving that VERY important detail out.
So bc this book got boring and left out very realistic details that would make the book better, I give 3/5 stars for whole series

Best of the best

I would recommend these three books to Junior and Seniors in High School. They could become a central curriculum for government, literature and sociology quarter ( maybe a semester depending upon the creativity of teachers) . There is wisdom and deep hidden gems of truth in each books. I believe lessons , prepared debates and honest appraisal can open our minds, reveal our prejudices, and Prepare for future changes in society.

I truly enjoyed these books. My two children, now in their40's. Have heard me repeat " The only constant in life is change" ..." You are more than a human Being, you are a Human Becoming. What You become depends upon your reaction and finding Positive results. " They have thrown my own core beliefs back at me to challenge me to grow as I age! ( ha).

I’m disappointed in this series over all, and this final book was no exception. It was unbelievably repetitive and could have been lumped together with the second book. There were so many random bits of history that didn’t add much to the plot and felt like an afterthought, plus a random philosophy lesson. The explanation for this underground group having “variants” was literally the entire plot of the author’s “Recruitment” series and I’m fairly certain she just likes centering her stories around riddles. I liked the ending and the power of empathy, I’m just disappointed that just a strong concept butchered the execution so poorly.

1.5 stars rounded up.

There was an incredible amount of irrelevant, rambling pages. Even the damn epilogue is rambling junk. This book could be 30% as long and still include everything important.

The ending is pretty much just predictable boring writing, and it was so anticlimactic after soooooooo much build-up. The first two books were great. This one is not even good.

I expected so much better from K.A. Riley. I'm so disappointed.

I’m so glad that the 3rd book was better than the second.

I’m glad with how this series ended.

But the first book was the best. I did listen to this on audible like I did the first two.


I’m glad that the author brought back the mother from the dead. That was the biggest thing for me. It wasn’t fair for her to lose her mother after learning that her mom was treating her like that for a reason.

It was a good series. I would recommend it. I wouldn’t read it again.

Good series

The book started off really slow and I almost gave up on it. Nothing was happening at all but I figured since I had already invested my time in the first two books I might as well finish it. Around the 37% mark the story took off and rarely held back. The ending was predictable but that is typical for this genre. Due to the slow start I rate it 3.5 stars.

Alora talks too much. The end.
