Action packed sequel.
Avelyn unsure whom to trust, is on the run from anyone trying to use or abuse her power.

We get more immersing experiences in this book and the twins connection is explained here as well.
We're introduced to some new characters and we get to delve into Myers childhood plus I'm glad the thing with Arin is resolved since a triangle would be futile
OH and I really like the big reveal..... I love how the authors end with key notes!

There weren't much Side characters' development, we get Myers background but nothing more afterwards, we focus of Ben and Avelyn for most of the time... So I suppose that's why others took a backseat.
Aside from advancing in her powers nothing much happens here to further their cause.... Or maybe I missed it... But we have loads of running around both in reality and in virtual but either they are practice runs or for their lives.
In a nutshell, it's an entertaining read with tech aspects taking place in a dystopian world.

Book two compliments book one. The plot continues unraveling some more twist(s) (some seen some unseen). She is forewarned of her new situation, but she has a hard time believing her family because she's stubborn. She doesn't want to believe that the people saving her are also the bad guys. The characters grow. Overall, very well written.

Book two and I’m still hooked!
Lots of twists and turns in the second book that I really enjoyed! Looking forward to finishing up the series and seeing how things work out for Avlyn.

I really like the consistency of the covers in this trilogy ... unfortunately I'm not loving the books. They are not bad, they just aren't grabbing me. Maybe the tech, the "immersion" is just something I'm not understanding or connecting with. The story moves from the city to the "outerbounds" and places that are much more primitive. Still some conflicts between powers and what will happen to the characters. Like I said though, just not grabbing me. Not sure if I'll continue to the conclusion, we'll see.

Just ok. Just not very attached to these characters or this story. Fairly slow book of running tests and discovering old memories, then the end is a huge rush of chaos. Typical 2nd book of nothing happening except setting up the 3rd book (hopefully).
Also, Where do Avlyn’s abilities end? There’s no end in sight. Now that she can immerse, she can control nanos and completely shape shift? What?
Avlyn, Ben, Meyer, Aron, Gabriella.

So after Configured left us hanging on such an ending I was super excited to be offered an ARC of Immersed (Configured trilogy #2) and Jenetta Penner has done it again with this second instalment in this exciting YA saga, producing a world that's so easy to get engrossed and lost in.
Immersed starts off practically where we left off, the morning after being rescued.
So now in New Philly, A place the inhabitants of Elore have no idea of, Avlyn finds herself again a pawn in a battle, where both sides are not being entirely honest concerning there motives.
Not being able to tell her enemies from her friends Avlyn decides it's time to strike away and regroup, taking along her friends and brother for the battle ahead.
So Immersed, what did I think, well I really enjoyed it, but I didn't find it quite as captivating as the first book Configured.
I also had a few little nitpicks that pulled this down a bit for me hence the reason for dropping it half a star, (I gave Configured Four stars).
Still, this still was a really great addition to the dystopian genre and I'm looking forward to reading the conclusion to this fascinating trilogy.
So My issues with this I'm going to point them.
1) Avlyn was so worried about her friend Aron and leaving him behind in new Philly. What about her dad.she only gives fleeting thought to the man who raised her and his safety.
2)Despite expressing her feelings for Meyer, Avlyn starts sniffing around Aron talk about fickle.
3) Why did I find Avlyn so annoying this time round? because I did.
4) Not much occurs in this instalment bar training and tests, Yes there is some fighting to break it up but I would also have liked to see some more advancement in the romantic department.
5)Meyer kiss her already, show some initiative before Aron swoops in and steals your girl.
Now the above are all personal reasons for me so discounting my gripes,
(It's not the author's fault I'm finding Avyln a trifle irritating and Meyer not more forthcoming in his affections or is it? Grrrr)
So where was I, Oh Yes, this was a well thought out story with terrific, if a little scary, world building.
It was a very easy well-written clean read that I would definitely recommend to my fellow dystopian lovers.
I also should mention that this is a YA Novel, don't let that bother you, this is easily enjoyable for all ages, I'm much older and didn't have a problem at all.
Thank you to the Publisher and Author for providing me with an arc of Immersed (Configured trilogy #2) this is my own honest and unbiased opinion.

A solid sequel
The rundown:
Avyln is now safe is another city... or is she? A mysterious guard holds the key to her past and her future but who can she trust? Relationships continue to develop with both of the love interests in her life and avyln continues to learn about her ability to immerse with technology can right the wrongs in her world... if she can survive that long,
The good:
The progression of the book makes sense. It has been less than a month since avyln first found out about her ability and her worlds corruption. The love triangle doesn’t feel forced and both characters are lovable yet different in a not annoying way
The bad:
Like with the first book, I really don’t have too much to complain about! I wish we knew more about avyln’s father and that relationship was given a bit more development but I understand the author shifting focus.
The hope:
With several characters “out of commission”, it will be interesting to see how the author keeps the plot line moving logically. I’m still not sure who I want avyln to end up with, if anybody! But I want her to get her happy ending, in a small town, with family who love her, and freedom.
