Darkest Legacy

Darkest Legacy

By Alexandra Bracken

Pages: 569

"Five years after the destruction of the so-called rehabilitation camps that imprisoned her and countless other Psi kids, seventeen-year-old Suzume "Zu" Kimura has assumed the role of spokesperson for the interim government, fighting for the rights of Psi kids against a growing tide of misinformation and prejudice. But when she is accused of committing a horrifying act, she is forced to go on the run once more in order to stay alive. Determined to clear her name, Zu finds herself in an uncomfortable alliance with Roman and Priyanka, two mysterious Psi who could either help her prove her innocence or betray her before she gets the chance."

I knew the ending to the original trilogy was too good to be true and this book explains that feeling. It was really cool to see Zu's perspective after so long and see her gain the confidence that was stolen from her in the camps. This book really felt like the beginning of a new trilogy with the introduction of new characters, new plot issue, and more for the Psi to fight before they can be accepted. However, I am not getting my hopes up too much since it has been four years since it was published.

So like...when I first heard this book was coming, I was like whyyyyyyyy...just like...let the series be a trilogy...we don't need a fourth book...or a fifth... but the fifth one was good, cause Momma didn't raise no quitter.
I just have to remind myself that it's middle grade writing, so like...it's middle grade writing style.
