With Brutus’s treacherous plot foiled, the city of Neorome takes a moment to catch its breath. Thousands have fallen, but it could have been so many more. And everyone knows just who to thank.
Now, Paige has to contend with the mantle of being a hero, a position she isn’t sure she warrants quite yet. There’s still a war to fight, after all, and with Brutus escaping and returning to the Walled Island, all eyes turn there.
Soon enough, Paige and her companions are given a critical task - find a way for the army to invade the island that, until now, has been thought to be unbreachable. With the four armies of the coalition gathering, a plan is concocted that might just work. A plan involving some of the most powerful Variants in the world. A plan that will make, or break, their ability to destroy the tyrants of Northbank once and for all.
It’s time for Paige and her friends to go home. The question is - what will they find when they get there?
Find out in PRODIGY, the penultimate book in the pulse-pounding Variant series!
I have the box set of this series and book six continues with the plan to return to the Walled Island to finally free its oppressed people.
I think this instalment differs from the others because it deals more with planning and preparation, and focuses on characters and their personalities, if from Paige's point of view - though much does depend on what they say and do, showing who they are. It was a little drawn out but was enjoyable all the same.
War is coming and finally they are taking the battle to Northbank after the tragedy that Brutus enacted. There is so much going on here, the readiness for battle, mending of relationships and learning to trust each other as a group and fighting alongside each other. Not everyone will survive and Paige lets her emotions rule her head which may just be her downfall. This is a battle of strength but also outmanouvering your opponent and anticipating their next move. I do believe it is checkmate.
Another great installment from TC Edge! Paige and her crew are on their way back towards the walled island to right the wrongs and hopefully save variants from total extinction. Full of excitement!
So, back to the walled island, and straight into Mantis's inspector clutches. What now for Paige and the rest of the crew? Now for book 7, I cannon wait to read it.
