After the events in the first book, we are still following Spensa, who is a part of the colony on the planet that is still fighting the Krell, to try and get off the planet that they are on. I enjoyed reading this book, as it gave more details regarding the fact that there is so much going on. Let alone it helped to get to find out more information regarding the world and politics. Also to find out why everyone seems to be attacking the world the humans are living on.
