Description
Eve's whole life is a lie; the only thing that keeps her going is Caleb's memory and the revolution he started. Now, Eve is taking over where Caleb left off as she plots to take down The New America, beginning with the capital, the City of Sand. Book #3
Quick Summary
Rise drops you straight into a world where the United States has become The New America, and Eve, still grieving the loss of Caleb, is now the one who has to keep his rebellion alive. She hatches a plan to strike at the heart of the regime by taking on the capital, the City of Sand, and the story is packed with tense escapes, clever sabotage, and a lot of moral dilemmas that will make you think about what freedom really costs. If you liked The Hunger Games or Divergent, you'll feel right at home because it has that same heart-pounding, action-driven vibe but with its own fresh twist on a dystopia. Parents should note that there are some graphic battle scenes and a few intense moments, but the emotional depth and the focus on loyalty and sacrifice make it a solid pick for older teens. The book is a quick, punchy read at about 63,000 words, and it ends on a note that will have you eager to see what happens next in the series.
