Review

This sequel to Reboot continues the story of Wren, a legendary reboot, having been dead for 178 minutes, and her boyfriend Callum (22 minutes). Reboots are humans who have died and come back to life as something not-quite-human. The story picks up after Wren and Callum help several reboots escape from their human captors. Tintera effectively employs alternating chapters to tell the story through Wren's and Callum's eyes as they decide whether to join the rebels and attack the humans or strike out on their own. Readers will be able to start here but will more fully enjoy this dystopian world by starting with the first book. (Not cream nominated as this is a sequel).

Overall Book Score: excellent
