My Thoughts:
A nanite plague hits the world, and very few survive. And then most are turned into husks – empty shells, of once humans, controlled by Hosts. Everything is being controlled by the Con. And then there’re the offsprings… Some of the first victims in the plague, where the unborn children. The ones who survived clawed their way out of their mother, forever changed into something different.
Then we have the ones who survived the plague, children, teenagers and adults. The nanites have infected some of these survivors and altered them. Just like Alex and his twin sister, Lanni. Alex is getting closer to be a Host each day, and Lanni has a shield so strong, the nanites can’t penetrate it. Lannie can manipulate the nanites, stabilize the infected people. This is what she has been doing with a pregnant woman – humanity’s last hope for bringing normal children to life.
But can a fourteen old girl make any difference in this new and dangerous world, where the lines are about to be drawn and the war is coming very close?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The beginning was a bit confusing for me, I
lost track of the timeline, due to some jump in time and place. But once the jumping settled down, I had no
trouble following the story, and found it interesting.
The relationship between Lannie and her
twin brother Alex is.. screwed. Alex is slowly turning into a Host, and all
Lannie can do is sit back, try and stabilize the Con, manipulate the nanites,
and then she know it isn’t going to cut it. At some point, she has to make the
worst decision and kill her brother. At the same
time, Alexis trying to buy himself and others, some time. A big war is coming, and everyone is needed.
There are so many mysteries in this book that didn’t get solved.
The fight scenes are beautifully made, the characters – well, only the surface has been scratched when it comes to them (in my opinion), and I’m curious about what will happen. All in all, the book is good, the series has great potential, the author is amazing, and I’m curious enough that I want to read the next when it arrives.
