The Vanished by Sarah Dalton
4.0
This picks up right, and I do mean RIGHT where The Blemished ends. If you haven’t read The Blemished in a while, don’t fret, there are a few reminders thrown in so you can fully remember how everything fits.
Mina is much stronger in this than in The Blemished but there is still so much for her to learn. But she’s willing to put everything on the line, including her life. She’s so much older than her years but this is how everyone is in this dystopian world. The other characters are also just as strong as Mina. There are a ton of characters in this though. You know who you are cheering for but it’s the guys that make you go hmm that keep you wanting to read more!
Hiro is my favorite character though. He is just so sweet and knowledgeable for his age. Absolutely my favorite, hands down!
The intense is really ratcheted up in this one. The knowledge that these people are truly fighting for their lives is dripping in every word. They all know they can die at any moment. And yet there are still bad men that will do whatever they want to hurt people. I find this really interesting! The way Sarah is able to weave people in and you’re not sure exactly what side they are on until the end. It is fascinating!
Sarah was able to ratchet up that intensity for book two. She never fails at keeping you guessing, wondering exactly what is going to be around the next corner. I love that about her writing. And her vocabulary rocks.
If you like dystopian with a bit of paranormal thrown in, this is definitely for you!!
