What if Germany and Japan won World War II because they had created a super soldier? That's the concept of this YA book. The United States no longer exists. Germany controls the Eastern American Territories, and Japan controls the Western American Territories. But not all Americans are willing to accept their conquerors. A resistance is brewing, and Ren finds himself in the middle of it with a plan to infiltrate the prison. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. From the beginning, Richmond pulls you in with each new page and revelation of Ren's life. Some twists I saw coming, but others were a surprise. There are some parts that are hard to read, and the violence might be a little intense for some. However, this book makes you think how much we have when we consider the freedoms of America. Like Ren, we can say that America was not perfect and is not perfect now, but the founders and people of America created a set of ideals that we can try to live up to each day.
