Into the Bright Unknown by Rae Carson
4.0
I think the thing I enjoyed most about this book was the realistic aspect. While I have never been part of a plan to take down a thieving politician, I would imagine that doing so would be, at times, quite tedious. Days and days of waiting. Slowly gathering information. Meeting and collecting people who could be instrumental. Parts not going to plan because life doesn't go to plan.
This was a slower read than the first two in the series, but I appreciated the twists and turns that much more because Carson didn't necessarily write a fast-paced adventure series. She wrote about a girl who lived in a difficult time in history and included at length the extreme hardships, deaths, and evil that one would have likely encountered then. I appreciated the pace of the series that reflected the small details and often tedious parts of a life, which felt more realistic.
