The Reformation

Not surprisingly, my next venture into the world of self-pub was the second installment of The Phoenix Project series, The Reformation by M. R. Pritchard.

THE BLURB:

Trying to escape from the Phoenix District got Andie two things, a broken arm and a broken spirit. While Andie feels like she might be losing it, she has a bit of hope to hold onto. Everyone else in her family may have been taken away from her or have gone missing, but she has Lina. So she’s going to do what Burton Crane ordered her to do and genetically alter the Residents brains so they’re the cooperative, docile humans he requested.

While analyzing the Residents’ genetic data, Andie finds that there’s more than one District. And while Andie tries to hold on tight to the few things she has control over, Crane has one last surprise for her.

This is the Reformation. Society has been fractured and this is just the beginning of changes to come.

MY THOUGHTS:

This book continues the story of a morally-questionable new world order, and the struggle of those stuck inside of it to keep their loved ones safe. Andie is a smart and bold protagonist, and as much as her participation in the outcome of the Reformation chafes her, her daughter's safety depends on her cooperation.

Here is where Pritchard first exercises her talent for punching readers in the gut right at the end of the book, leaving them speeding to the next book to find out more.
