This week, I started to really see what Jameson was like and he started to open up to Avery. The games and clues are coming together but they are making no sense and I am so confused where they are going. But anyways I think what is the most important is how Max is starting to treat Avery because of everything going on. Also with Avery getting attempt of murder I think we will learn more about the Hawthorn kids.

This week while reading, I was really able to start to learn who each of the characters learn. But also be able to understand to a point why each of them is this way. I also got to see more how Avery actually felt about becoming a billionaire. I thought that it would have been a big deal over all. But AVeyr didn't even know Tobias and when she got the money everyone knew about him and her which surprised me.

This week, I got to see Cia and Tomas start their plan. They split up and left not knowing if they would ever see eachother again. But so far everything was going to plan and they both completed step one. But then things took a word and she had to leave Raffle behind to hopefully kill another target. But then she finds Dr.Barnes and things are the opposite of the plan, but yet she still thinks she could win.

This week while reading, we have seen Cia prepare for her challenge that the president has given her. Everything is starting to piece together in this puzzle. But it wasn't smooth sailing, she had to kill, sacrifice and run. Cia knows this will be physically and emotionally staring, but thinks she has prepared herself. She has established a team who she had put her faith in. Until someone uninvited shows up.

This week while reading , we are starting to see that Cia sees that she will need to carry out the residents plan even if he doesn't want to. She also realizes that she won't be able to do it alone or even just with Tomas. But she doesn't know who she will be able to trust. She decides to make her own testing and test her friends to see who will be an ally and who will be an enemy.

Everyone Cai thought she could trust and she thought was going to help her end the testing she could no longer believe and trust. Cai tested Symone to help her and led the rebellion to end the etsign and now he is actually working against her and killed Malachi. Cai is going to be forced to kill or be killed and she doesn't know what to choose because she wants the testing to end but she doesn't want to have to end.

This week I was able to see Cia start to trust more than just Tomas she started to build relationships with others. She figured out that her brother came to help her when he found out she might be in trouble, then he joins Symons rebellion. Then she got tapes from Raffe that could shut down the testing. Cia still seems weary of the rebellion and who she should trust.

This week Cia got her internship, and it is with he president and we learn that the president anst to take Dr.Barnes out of the office. The president's wasn't to change the estignand how the university things are ran. Cia is with Malachi again because he is also now working with that president. Cia also finds Tomas again and she finds out that he has his memories and she doesn't know if she can trust him.

This week Cia and her team went through an induction challenge and had to work together to pass and win. During the induction we got to see a lot about the people on her team we learned and Damone. We saw how he has some trust and anger issue which is not stated and played down but when you read between the line we can see. Also we have seen that Cia is in trouble because she is doing too well.

The students who have passed the Testing and have moved onto the University take a exam that will place them into their future career. Cia is placed into the government. f they did not pass the testing they are "redirected" but in reality that just means they are killed. Cia knows that stuff from her memories is missing because she had the transport recorder that she recorded stuff on before they took her memories.

Cia has passed but in her mind she has failed because she lte them take her memories. But I thought that taking her memories would take her feelings that she had for Tomas. But she is still drawn to him but yet doesn't remember what she and him experienced in the fourth stage of the test. I think that in the next book that she will realize that she needs her memories back and that will be the conflict.

Will told Cia not to trust Tomas and Tomas isn't who she thinks he is. But little did we know Will was the one with a secret. All the time that Will was trying to gain Cias trust he was stabbing her in the back. But I think that Will knew that Tomas would never trust him so when they were alone he did everything in his power to gain his trust but in reality he never wished to help them.

While reading today Cia meets a middle aged man. And in the beginning of the book her father talks about his roommate during his time of testing. I think that this man is her father's roommate. I think that he knows everything and hears everything because everyone thinks he is dead and so he can be like a fly on the wall.

Will has found Cia and Tomas. Cia seems to trust him but Tomas isn't really talking or saying anything. WIll thinks it is because he wants Cia all to himself. But I think that Tomas doesn't trust him because I think that Tomas hasn't trusted Will from the beginning. And I think he is right not to trust him because I think that Will will betray them.

As I have been reading I have been starting to see CIa change. SHe has always been cunning, and smart, and someone who thinks out if the box. But she also has never truly trusted anyone. I think that she doesn't even trust Tomas al the way. But with the test she has started to pee herself up to more people. She invited people to come and camo with them, she has let herself relax with Tomas.

The Testing has so many similarities to the Divergent series. NOw obviously they are both dystopias. But from the way that in their society there are certain tests that are done just it is shown in different ways. But the way that they set the story up, the relationship between the two characters are so similar. Also the vocabulary is so similar.

Roman betrayed his team, but he didn't get penalized even though the whole point was supposed to work as a team. But Annalise did as she was and was penalized. Which makes me think that there are some people who have advantages within the testing. People who have it in with the officials. Also the final stage of the testing is starting and I think that Cia and Tomas will finish but not without struggles.

I have been noticing Cia start to change. In the beginning Cia only really talked to Tomas and wasn't really interested in making friends or being friends with anyone else. But now she has created a bond with the people at her table, and is evening helping them. I thought that he and Tomas would stay to himself and it would be them against society but they have made a group of people that they trust.

When Irena was incarcerated, who was running her organization? Who was helping the kids who she had saved? I know that the Zegota were funding Irena and helping out. But Irena was the one who was active. So when Irena got arrested did everything stop? Or did the people within the Irena resistance step up? It makes me wonder what would have happened if Irena died. Would have all the names have been released?

Irena was taken by the Gestapo because of her hand in the resistance work. Irena said she would never tell anything never rat out her friends, and that she would be able to withstand the torture. But at the end of the chapter it talked about the first day so I think that Irena will be in there for a while then she will end up being able to escape and help the rest of the prisoners to escape.

Tage told Aiden about her and Wren . Aiden was happy for Tage and embraced her, and when Tage wanted to say hi to Wren, Aiden offered to give Haley an excuse to give Tage coverage. I never thought that any of Tages friends would embrace her let alone help her to be happy and see Wren. I think that when Tage comes out of the closet the friend group will turn their backs on Tage but Aiden won't.

At first I thought that Tage would never have pursued Wren. I thought that she would have always had this love but would have never shown it because she knew that she would turn into an outcast. But now after reading I think that she doesn't end up telling everyone but when her and Wren are sneaking around at school someone finds them and rats her out, but Tage doesn't deny her love to Wren.

While reading I was starting to think that since Tage has done so much to Wren from playing pranks to not sticking up for him and being a jerk. But why does Wren not rate Take out for everything for sterling, her not showing her true colors for everything. I think it's because we don't know the because story of Wren. I think that Wren went through the same thing and in turn knows how much she is struggling.

On page 165 Irena states," They would come, eventually." She was talking about the Nazis. Irena thought that at some point she would get caught and she would be killed. But yet she never stopped what she was doing to try and prevent it, she was sneaking into ghettos to save people from burning buildings, giving up all the money she had to get soap to give children a bath.

Tage is the type of person who really just wants to fit in but at the same time is not who she is pretending to be. She wants to be herself but she knows that she will be “ shunned” and not accepted for being who she is. But I think that Tage will end up getting close with Wren and she will have a secret relationship with them and the people who she thinks are her befriends will find out and betray her.

With just starting to read this book I am already starting to see problems build. But within the first 10 ages I have already learned so much about my main character and challenges that are going to come back to haunt her. I think that this book is going to end up being one that I can't put down because with each page come a new challenge a new story line.

So if I'm being honest I really wasn't liking this book. I thought that it was really boring and moving really really slow. I also thought that there were a lot of unnecessary story lines and just things I didn't really need to know. But now after reading I am starting to see why we had to know all of those little details.

One thing that I found out from the book that I didn't know before I started reading was that there were Irena's children. Before I heard about this book I had no clue that Irena and her welfare group helped to get children out of ghettos, stop them from going to labor camps and save them from certain death.

I noticed that people in Irena's circle are in more danger than most. I was thinking that since a lot of them weren't Jewish and alot of them were also in with the Germans they were safe. Also alot of them were also not part of the smuggling that Irena and a few others were doing that they would be safer than the others.

While reading I started to realize that how they handled the children during WW2 kept changing. At first they would give time to get them off the streets and some guards would look the other way when people would smuggle them out of the ghettos but then things started to change and they were becoming more and more suspicious.
