These plantations are run by aliens who have taken over Earth and started farming and harvesting humans. Each child is engineered and grown to have special "talents" which make them stronger, faster, and smarter, than normal humans. But why are the aliens doing this? And how will this group, known as the saviors, save humanity? I liked this book after the 80% mark. It was a very slow start but the ending made up for it, it grabbed you and made you want to read the next one in the series. If I could point out one more small thing that bugged me (and it may just be me, I am noticing that sometimes the strangest things about books irk me...) was the sentence length. All the sentences were about the same length and it kind of made it read like a telegraph or a series of twitter messages. But overall, it was an interesting story and I would definitely pick up the next in the series. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A century has passed since they arrived. Human history has been erased. Children are enslaved on Alien plantations.Some have heard whispers of the existence of a rebel band of humans who roam free in the forests. Most slaves dare not speak of the rebels for fear the mutant guards will grab and make an example of them.Seventeen-year-old Freya is pulled away in the night not by the mutants, but by her old friend Finn, to join the Saviors, the mythic band of rebel teens.Her bliss fades when she discovers she is the only Savior without a special ability. She is the odd one out, slowly pushing Finn away, defying Damian, the leader of the Saviors, and antagonizing the fierce and beautiful Daphne. In her despair Freya reaches deep within to discover a dark destiny, a truth so heavy it threatens to destroy her. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I had a hard time getting into the first couple of chapters but by the fourth I was hooked. Great twists at the end with relationships, strengths, and group composition. I plan to read the second book. ( )
