Now I Rise by Kiersten White

5.0

So. Freaking. Good. I loved the first one. It was my favorite book I read last year. Somehow this book was even better. If you like Hunger Games or Game of Thrones, I cannot recommend this book enough. I was on the edge of my seat in the best of ways. I felt the characters were already super fleshed out to begin with and they got pushed to new heights. The author tackles some huge subjects: religion, war, death, family, homosexuality, female empowerment. But it's so thoughtful and provoking in a way that doesn't push an agenda. This saga is completely underrated and much better written than many of the hyped up YAs.
