Just WOW!!

At first I thought that I would never be able to get into this Trilogy - as it isn't the normal genre that I read. But, I finished this group of wonderful books in 4 days (would have been sooner if real life didn't have to happen). I truly wish that they would continue, I want to know what happened to all of the characters and heroes.
Ms. Cohagen knocked it out, she explains at the end of each book where the ideas came from about the rules and restrictions pertaining to each group. I hope she continues on this quest and let us know of what becomes of Mira, Silas, Juda, Grace and the rest of the wonderful characters.

Wow! Couldn't put down!

This trilogy is written for YA, but needs to be read by adults too! This trilogy dives into deep topics. At first, I didn't like the teen girl POV, but it's necessary to get the points across. I rarely give 5 star reviews, but this trilogy earns every one!
