Synopsis:
The haven city of Beckenshire has been demolished, and most of the rebels lie beneath the rubble. The few that remain scramble to communicate with the the outside world, knowing that if they are to stand a chance in the coming war, they can’t do it alone. In a last ditch effort to grow their ranks, the remaining rebels systematically destroy the repeaters which help to propagate the control center signals. And it’s working: citizens in targeted cities are waking up in droves. But Ben Voltolini will stop at nothing to quell the uprising before it has a chance to get off the ground. And he has one major ace up his sleeve: Kate Brandeis.
During Kate’s broadcast to the nation, Voltolini unleashed targeted brainwave signals against her, causing her to allow both Jackson MacNamera’s capture, and her own. Now, despite Voltolini’s exquisite wining and dining, she can’t seem to stop the panic attacks. Whom can she trust? What is truth? Is there even such a thing?
Meanwhile, imprisoned and hopeless, Jackson realizes the depths of his feelings for Kate only after he has already lost her. The incredible self-control upon which he prides himself gets put to the ultimate test when he meets an unlikely ally who just may turn the tide in the rebels’ favor—but only if Jackson can put aside his own bitterness. In this gripping conclusion to The Liberty Box Trilogy, new and surprising alliances are formed, passions run high, and our heroes learn what they are really made of. Do they have what it takes to fight for freedom—even if it means paying the ultimate price?
Review:
Where do I start?
I was sent the arc of The Phoenix Project in return for a honest review by the author.
I loved this book and I dare say it is my favourite of the trilogy (The Liberty Box).
All the covers for the trilogy are beautifully designed and created. Much like this is my favourite book of the trilogy; the book cover is also my favourite.
So onto the characters.
Will, again, is very well written but I still love to hate him. He is controlling over Kate and makes decisions for her without asking her opinion.
Kate has grown up a lot from the first book. She's much more independent and strong. She stands up for herself against Will and Voltolini. Despite the struggles she faces.
Jackson is by far my favourite character. He sees what others can't, is strong, determined and logical. Part of Kate’s journey in finding herself I dare say is thanks to Jackson.
The story itself is superbly written. It's exciting/thrilling and I couldn't put the book down until I had finished the whole thing. I really enjoyed getting to see Ben Voltolini's character when Kate is under his 'protection' and seeing how he interacts with her. Having the different character perspectives throughout the novel helps to build upon the story and see how they each play a role into the plan to destroying the Liberty Box.
Kate overcomes many obstacles and challenges in this book, with the fight towards freedom reaching its climax.
I highly recommend this series. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I know many others will too.
