This is the second book in the series. I would recommend reading the first book prior to reading this one as is lays the groundwork for what happens in this one.  I was happy to see that the writing/editing was much easier for me to follow in this one. The author labels chapters with the characters’ names which lets you know up front who you are reading about and where you are.This book is full of action. We are in the midst of an uprising and this book does not disappoint with vivid scene descriptions.  The author brings us to new lands in this one and I loved going along for the ride.The main characters are the same but new ones are added.  Since this takes place two years later, they have changed and grown.  These characters are real; they have vices and flaws; they need love and acceptance. All this makes the book so much more realistic even though much of it takes place on another planet.  Amazing how humanity is the same everywhere.I recommend this book to anyone that loves sci-fi and fantasy. Although the main character is a teenaged boy, there is violence and other scenes that make it a bit mature for YA audiences. But older teens would definitely love it!We are left at a cliffhanger at the end so we will have to wait for the next installment to see what happens next!
