New Nora is on the verge of collapse—and so is Legacy's family.
Legacy Hawking never thought she'd end up here. Solving the mystery of her mother’s murder has done nothing but widen the cracks in her world. With Alex and the Firebrands reinstating the Rating System, NORA’s leaders fighting for their lives in the hospital, and most citizens grieving lost loved ones, Legacy has a monumental task in front of her. Somehow she must keep her father alive, win the Copper Office back, and unite NORA under her own rule. Gram’s health has begun to decline as well, leaving Legacy relying on Kole for support.
But soon she begins to see what Kole is trying to desperately to hide—the effects of the attack on his mind are far greater than she realized, and she may just lose him too. When Legacy’s biological family reaches out with an offer of help but at a terrible cost, she must decide how badly she wants to win—and what she’s willing to sacrifice to save the nation that has become her family’s legacy.

I’ll start off saying that dystopian is not my usual reading choice. However after reading Numbers collide I may have to rethink that at least as far as this series is concerned. The story centers around Legacy and Kole a princess and a pauper who have fallen in love in the midst of a civil war that has thrown their country into chaos. As Legacy fights her brother for control and to save her people from his appalling rule, she must also contend with self doubt, her loved ones falling ill and running a resistance with some radical ideas for true change. Dystopian maybe, thrilling absolutely! I truly enjoyed reading this book. It’s a fascinating story that drew me in from the beginning. Legacy is a wonderful protagonist. She’s thrust into a position she doesn’t want, nor does she feel really qualified for it but she cares for her country and her people and wants to help and so she soldiers on the best she can. She is very relatable. Kole is strong, stubborn and fiercely protective of Legacy. While she deeply cares for him she doesn’t tolerate his overprotectiveness which adds a bit of levity to the story. I think there’s a bit of something for everyone action, mystery, romance all mixed together in a world gone mad with a core of resistance trying to bring back stability. I received an ARC from the author. I voluntarily review this book. This is my honest review.
This was a wonderful, yet to me, unexpected way of ending this series but I still loved it! Once I started reading I just couldn't put it down! Action and a love story all while trying to make things "right in the world" get me every time! I voluntarily received and read an ARC for an honest review.
3.75 stars. I really enjoyed this series. And I enjoyed in this book seeing what happened. But as it went on, I felt like it had less and less of the interesting premise that attracted me to the series. It still had interesting and real characters, but the larger conflict felt more Us vs. Them, rather than about the rating system or the other things that divides the sides.
I ABSOLUTELY ADORED this Dystopian series!!:-). There was TONS of action and twisty thrills in this one!! The writing was superb and you can’t help but fall in love with lots of these FABULOUS characters!!:-). This one was a lot about trust and how precarious it can be!! LOVED IT!!!:-). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!:-)
