Guardian by Alex London
4.0
I can't really say much about this book without spoiling Proxy, but what I can say is that this is a great continuation and conclusion to the story started in Proxy.
The new character Liam gets a lot of time to develop and become just as important as established ones.
The way the politics and power struggles played out was wonderful, and the ending had just the right mix of hopeful and hopeless, a perfect balance. 'and they all lived happily ever after' has never worked for me - especially in dystopias or books about really big changes in how society is run. Leaving a hint of doubt or giving a slightly open ended resolution is definitely the right way to conclude, and Guardian did just that.
