Description

Branded as an Enemy of the State, Paivi Anderson left everything behind to start a new life. Torn from her parents and now a fugitive from justice, along with her brother, Torsten, and former frenemy Christian, she is desperate to save her family and escape her country's tyrannical rule . But in order to outsmart the Anti-Terrorism Coalition, she'll need to learn to control her powers. When Paivi discovers the true meaning of the EOS list, she realizes that she may end up saving much more than just her parents.

Review
Must read book 3. Must read book 3.

I really really really liked this book. The characters developed so nicely, the story unwound in an interesting way. But...IT DOESNT HAVE ENOUGH PAGES D: It was over too quick, way too quick. It was like..let's do this, and now this and then this and then we are done reading this. I would have loved more detail. More detail about training, more detail about those cool monks =D More detail about the Resistance group Jason is in, more detail about the camp. Just...more!

I like Paivi. She is a stand-up heroine. She doesn't bother herself with girlish minority crap, because there is no time for that now in this chaos. I think that is very authentic. Also that she does her decisions even though she doesn't like them and they might destroy her - this sounds clichée, but with Paivi this seems real. She uses her brain before making up her mind about something (or her visions).

I am curious about the other characters. Torsten already got a bigger role during this book. What about the rest? I am really curious about Christian. I wonder what his part will be in all this. Only the supporting good friend or is he going to go badass as well at some point and kick the shit out of the ATC?

4 stars, even though I loved it. But it was simply too short.
