Asunder

Today’s post is on Asunder by Jodi Meadows. It is 406 and is published by Katherine Tegen Books. It is the second in the Newsoul Trilogy. The cover is a close-up picture of a girl with flower petals around her eyes. As it is the second volume you need to have read the first book Incarnate. There is some very mild foul language, no sex, and some mild violence's in this book. The story is told from first person close of the main character Ana. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Asunder. Apart. Alone
Ana has always been the only newsoul, but after Templedark some hold her responsible for the darksouls lost- and the newsouls who may be born in their place. Then when sylph begin behaving differently toward her, the people turn violent and Ana must learn to stand up not only for herself but for those who cannot stand up for themselves. Love. All Ana wants is to live and love as an equal among the citizens of Heart, but even when Sam professes his deepest feelings, it seems impossible to overcome a lifetime of rejection. When she discovers the hard truth about reincarnation and the hostility in Heart begins to escalate, can Ana find a way to embrace love and make her life meaningful?

Review- A great second volume in a very different series. Ana is trying to discover what is really going on with Janan, the Heart, newsouls and darksouls and we are along for the ride. She starts with her father’s research but then another newsoul is born and everything comes crashing down. The plot is fast-paced with lots of action and discoveries in this book. Ana is starting to see what happened five thousand years old to create this world. The background information is great and I am starting to understand this world more myself. I really like this mix of fantasy and science fiction that this series has, it is unusual and a lot of fun. I am looking forward for the final volume and see what happens to Ana and this world. 

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this novel with my own money.
