Spoiler
alert: If you haven’t first read The
Testing, stop reading this blog posting and do that
first.
Malencia
“Cia” Vale along with her best friend Tomas from Five Lakes Colony have
successfully passed The Testing. Their
memories have been wiped out yet for Cia she has recurring nightmares and
flashbacks.
They find
themselves now at University in Tosu City where other students from Tosu City
have been selected to also join those who have survived The Testing.
Cia wants to
be in Mechanical Engineering, but the officials decide she should be in
Government. Tomas is placed in
Biological Engineering.
The brutal
induction challenges by final year students into these schools cost some
participants their lives.
Nothing is
as it should be! Cia and Tomas both realize that. They don’t know who to trust.
“And while
the only way to beat them (the officials at the University) is to do as Ian
says and excel at my classes, I cannot help but worry. If they expect me to fail, how will they
react when I do not? Will scoring top marks keep me safe or will it prompt
anger and punishment?”
This is a
fast, engaging read. It leaves you hanging as Graduation Day is its sequel.
