Summary
In Compound Eleven, freedom from tyranny is impossible.
My name is Eve Hamilton, and I’ve managed the impossible.
I am free.
Until just like that, it is wrenched from my grasp. And this time, the corridors of the dark
underground city are even more dangerous than ever before. But my brief taste of freedom has
left me with something useful, something powerful, something that terrifies the leaders of
Compound Eleven.
And now I have a monster inside.
One I’ll need to learn to control, and fast, or I’ll lose everything and everyone I hold dear.
Starting with Wren Edelman. The one boy who has taught me that anything is possible if we
stick together.
But will that matter if I become the very thing he fears the most?
Review
In Escaping Eleven, Eve and Wren did just that, escaped from Compound Eleven, the one and
only place where they were taught to believe that they were safe. Now, in Unraveling Eleven,
they return to the Compound with the intention of exposing the lies that they were told about
the world above them. Instead of a hazardous environment where humans burn alive as soon as
they reach the surface, the truth is the complete opposite. But nothing is what it seems to be.
Having no other choice but to return to the place where they just escaped, they are both more
determined than ever to unravel the truth, face the elite of the Compound and set everyone
free. However, it comes at a cost. While in the first book, Eve was a strong character where she
discovered how unique she was and she evolved emotionally, in the second book Eve
struggles with herself. She begins to lose her courage, her confidence, she feels resentment
and anger all the time. After all, she's human, having and expressing these emotions is perfectly
normal and mundane but she's starting to turn into a person that she doesn't even recognize.
A person that terrifies the people close to her and a person that pushes her away from Wren
and their goal.
Now the stakes are higher than ever and survival becomes a necessity. Jerri Chisholm delivers a
stunning, heart pounding, action-packed dystopian sequel to a beautifully written series.
Rating: 4 stars!!
