"Sometimes chaos can masquerade as peace...""...the more people fear, the more they hide. And the more they hide, the less they fight back."Those are just two of the amazing quotes found in this wonderful book.I loved the first in this series, Enigma Black, but this one was so much more.Some of the little tidbits in the story reminded me of classic dystopians, in that it made me question and compare things to the present world. I found myself saying, "This is frighteningly close to a possible future for us." It was fantastic. In my opinion that is what makes a great dystopian story--the ability to make the reader see it as a possible future. I love a good sci-fi, but when you read a story that makes you feel like our world could fall into the one portrayed in the book, that is a great dystopian. And Vendetta Nation did just that.What I really appreciated was that Sara had the ability to combine a bit of love to the amazing world she created. The story is full of action and suspense, but there is still heart in it when you watch the relationship move between the two heroes. I liked watching Celaine and Ian both come to an understanding in themselves and who they were despite the circumstances they were thrown into.It was interesting to watch Celaine grow as a character. She was once a person focused solely on vengeance, but it seems as her relationship develops with Ian she has more purpose. Instead of focusing on what she once had and could have had, she is realizing she has a purpose in all of this.  I can't wait until the next book to see what happens as the story evolves even further.Great sequel and I highly recommend this series. It is unique and with several well thought out moments and it is very well written.So I will leave this review with one last quote that I think describes this series as a whole and I hope it is how it will proceed in the next book. Especially with the ending we were left with of Vendetta Nation. :)"No matter how bad it looks, no matter how hopeless, the good always wins in the end. It may not be today, or tomorrow, but it will happen."
