Unleashed By Sophie Jordan
Genre: Young Adult Sci-Fi
Personal Rating: 9/10
This is the sequel to Uninvited--one of my all time favorite books. This is a duology, so this is the final book in the series. I was very nervous to read this book actually, because from the synopsis it sounded like Sean wasn't going to be in this novel very much, and that confused me because of how the first book ended. Regardless, I did read it and did find there to be a remarkable lack of Sean. Actually, most of the characters in the first book either aren't in the sequel at all or are only apart of a few scenes. We get a bunch of new characters in this book, and while I did really like most of them, I missed the other characters I had already grown to love.
This series takes place in a not so distant future where scientist have discovered a genetic disorder called HTS--homicidal tendency syndrome--and anyone tested positive for this gene is automatically considered a killer. If you want to know more about Uninvited you can read my review of it below. Uninvited, I feel, focuses more on the social issues in the world concerning HTS, and Unleashed focuses more on the individual development of Davy, our main character. I really enjoyed reading about her development and her struggles trying to survive as a refugee, but I do wish we got a little more about what was going on outside of their refuge camps.
Overall, this was a wonderful conclusion to a story I love and I felt like the author was true to her characters and developed them wonderfully.
