UnWholly by Neal Shusterman
5.0
A lot of times the second book in a series doesn't quite measure up, but UnWholly is quite the sequel to Unwind. Here, Connor, Lev, and Risa's stories continue, and we see the consequences--both and good and bad--of their actions in Unwind. They all have to live with the choices they made or had forced upon them, and none of those adjustments are easy. To make matters more complicated, Connor discovers the Graveyard isn't everything he thought it was, and needs to come up with a plan to save the AWOLs taking refuge with him. With new personalities to deal with (the new characters are great additions, by the way, and do a great job of driving the plot), Connor's frustrations only seem to mount, and Risa and Lev must take stock of their values and decide how to act upon them.
Though at some points I could see where the book was going, I still thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the third book, due out sometime this fall. And I want to track down the e-book that takes place between the first and second books. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys YA dystopian fiction, or dystopian fiction, or books like Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, as the issues at hand follow in the same vein.
