Halve Human

Bisecter #2

by Stephanie Fazio

Set in a dangerous and extraordinary fantasy world where the sun never sets, Stephanie Fazio’s BISECTER told the story of Hemera, a Bisecter who is part human and part Halve, who left her people’s caves to save her friends and sparked a war.

Now, in Halve Human, Hemera must contend with a new enemy...one that was created from her own blood.

Meanwhile, she must mount a resistance against the tyrannical Duskers, who have uncovered the location of the Solguard fortress and plan to annihilate all of the rebels. Impossible circumstances force Hemera to form unexpected alliances and make heartbreaking choices that will risk everything and everyone she’s come to care for.

Hemera moves deeper into the world of Duskers and Solguards, Halves and Zeroes....all while confronting a new danger...one over which she has total power and, at the same time, no control.

I was really looking forward to the sequel to Bisecter, and it didn't disappoint! The story was action-packed and there was plenty of mystery to keep my attention throughout. It wasn't all boring character development like a lot of second-in-series can be. I really like the way Hemera develops as a character through her experiences and her relationships with the other characters--she definitely gets more complex without getting annoying, haha. I got that warm feeling from coming back to old friends after some time away. It was great the way some of the side characters from Bisecter got more of a focus in this book, like Ry and Wade. The ending was great...maybe a little too good...I don't think I can wait til august for the next one!

For a while, I had difficulty getting a read on all of these new characters, but then, so did Hemera. The characters grow in depth throughout the tale, and towards the end, Hemera's character begins to evolve as well. If you enjoyed the first book, it is worth your time to continue. If you have not yet read Bisector, start there.

I really love both of these books. Where did you come up with the halves? And people that can't be in sunlight. I know you are writing the 3rd book but do you think you could expand the story?

I like the story but sometimes Hemera is so stupid I want to shake her. It distracts me and makes me question continuing to read the series.
