Sacrisvita #2
The Archives
- History can't bury the truth. -
Unlike her classmates, Sage Indarra doesn’t want to be a model student at the Institution. But it’s the only way to survive.
Despite her best efforts, her guise of normalcy is threatened when she gets into a fight at the beginning of the year, bringing down the wrath of the Institution and consequences that could haunt her for the rest of her life—however short that might be.
But they never would have punished her if they’d known where it would lead.
In the depths of the Archives, Sage makes a discovery that could threaten the very fabric of Eprah’s society. If anyone finds out what she knows, she’ll have to make an impossible choice to prove her loyalty.
*This is the second book in the gripping dark dystopian Sacrisvita series.*

Am slowly binge reading my way through the series. I can't stop reading them. They are fantastic

Like book 1, The Institution, this book is short and a bit bare of detail. It is a continuation of book 1k about Sage's first year in The Institution; like many youth-based dystopian novels today, it covers a year of the main character's education. Also like book 1, this book fails to answer any of the questions about Sage's life before The Institution, other than the minimal information that is provided in the initial chapter of book 1. Sage's character, while interesting, is still a little flat, and while there are implications that those around her are involved in some type of insurrection - possibly involving her parents as well - little information is provided. The events in this novel, as with book 1, appear to borrow from The Giver, with perhaps a bit from 1984. It was interesting, but not enthralling.

I would love to see this story play out in first person so that we could delve deeper into Sage's mind and emotions as she tries to learn about and cope with the intolerant society she lives in. Eprah itself keeps me reading because I want to learn more about how it came to be the way it is. I feel like there's a lot to learn about the world here.

Personally I think the second installment was better than the first. I couldn't put it down and read it all in one sitting. A great dystopian novel that, if you enjoy books like Divergent and Hunger Games, you'll enjoy this too.

Good story line
I like the characters and the interaction. It keeps you wanting to know what will happen to all of them!

It’s hard to believe these characters are only eight years old. I have to keep reminding myself.

The next short novella in the Sacrisvista series. Sage is integrated into the ominous Institution, but never stops trying to find out its secrets.
Choosing History as her schooling and career path, she gains access to the Archives of Ephrah and is propelled farther into the nation's mysterious past when she finds an old photograph. Still clashing verbally and physically with her archnemesis Carnabel, she's sentenced to extra Bokja martial arts training and competition. Her trainer Kai asks a lot of questions, but he may be the only one she can trust. A growing mystery concerns the name Sacrisvista, proclaimed and emblazoned on walls by fascinating dark figures, and hushed up by the Institution's directors.
It's an intriguing series, but rather annoying that each installment is so short. The fight scenes are well-described but somewhat tediously written. There's no romance yet but seems like there might be later (ugh).
