Dodie's ReviewOh, Rachel Clancy - how I've missed you in the short time since I read your last book. Rebecca Royce is a master at weaving in glimpses of the previous story into the new story, so that each book is a stand alone story. Even though I've read the previous book in this series, Initiation, you don't have to have read it to understand what's going on in Driven.Driven is the story of Rachel finding her purpose in life. How to live to be more than just a Warrior, a girl, a daughter, a girlfriend, a human hiding from the monsters in the world. As an adolescent, Rachel also has to find her path to the adult woman she is meant to be. But she lives in a dangerous world, where nothing is constant, and she has to constantly learn how to stand on the shifting piles of sand that should be the bedrock foundation of her life. While everything swirls around her, it is the people in her life that are her bedrock foundation.Rachel is sent on a journey with her boyfriend Chad. It is Chad that helped her find her way in the world again after her experiences in Initiation. Chad that she believes is the link between her past, and her future as an adult in Genesis. Of course, nothing goes as you would want it to be in a perfect world, but none of us live in a perfect world. Rachel takes the responsibility for everything that goes wrong in her life solely on her shoulders. Rachel is a Warrior and is supposed to feel responsible for the non-Warriors in Genesis, the habitat where she lives, but some things are the product of the times she lives in, and not due to her actions.In Driven, Rachel discovers who her friends are, who she can trust, and what her purpose in life will be. I hope you enjoy Rachel's journey, as much as I did.5 Tea Cups and a Recommended Read!
