Graduation Day
by Joelle Charbonneau
Format: Hardback
Price: Checked out from school library
How I heard about it: Last installment of the series, after The Testing and Independent Study
Basic Premise: After receiving a coveted internship with the president of the United Commonwealth, Cia finds herself charged with a task she would never choose to accept but dares not refuse.
Ehhhh.
I was disappointed. The pace was far slower than the other two, and there were many moments where I was thinking, "Um...what?" The story felt disjointed and the characters less familiar somehow. By the end, there were still many questions in my mind, not the least of which was, "Is this for real?" because book 2 threw such a curve ball at the end that I was hesitant to trust what I was reading. All in all, I found it to be a slightly dissatisfying ending to what was otherwise an original and innovative trilogy.
