This really kicks off the story for me, and it's very enjoyable seeing a female protagonist taking action of her own accord.ĭee really grew on me in this second installment. Tired of constantly being told what to do, Nina joins a subgroup of girls determined to be heard and make a difference. She notices some of the same beliefs being held in her niche of the Resistance: the men don't think the girls and women are capable to taking care of themselves, or in making progress for their cause. In Truth we get to see Nina really come into her own. Even after I put the book down to take a break, there was a lingering paranoia left over.
Karr did an excellent job of capturing the atmosphere. Rape goes unpunished, and women are pushed back to medievil stereotypes.
A world like this, where women have no rights, is truly terrifying. The Governing Council has everyone convinced that teenage girls are sex-crazed, and they are the mastermind behind a sex-slavery ring. Truth is the companion novel to one of my favorite dystopians this year, XVI.
