This is YA? The series has taken a darker more delicious turn which would probably be too much for YA these days. A big improvement on an already good series and interested to see if Marsden can keep the momentum going for book 4.

Taking an almost 2 year break between books two and three, I found myself surprised at how easily I got back into this series. Picking it up on a whim this week, I rushed through, finding the tense pacing made it almost impossible to catch a breather. Full of action, sabotage, subterfuge and angst—it was a much needed reading cleanser after some not-so-great books. Being my first time reading this Aussie teen war series from the 90s—well, I was forced into reading book one in high school, back when I wasn’t a reader—I’ve still got all of the twists to look forward to. It’s something I love about it. It really does read like a movie.

på en måte følte jeg at alle angrepene de hadde gjort til nå var for perfekte, og nå ble de endelig tatt. jeg skjønner ikke hvor disse folka har all den kunnskapen om ting, mike wtf hvem 17 åring klarer å lage en egen bombe og sprenge en fuckings kai uten hjelp. jeg følte slutten var litt rushed, og til slutt ble de reddet så jeg skjønner ikke/husker ikke hva som skjer i de fire (4!) neste bøkene. btw den ene scenen der de dreper soldaten med et belte var sykt kvalmenes. og robyn
