Locke Jenkins has some catching up to do. After spending 260
years as a disembodied mind in a little black box, he has a perfect new body.
But before he can move on with his unexpected new life, he’ll have to return
the Favor he accepted from the shadowy resistance group known as the Network.
Locke must infiltrate the home of a government official by
gaining the trust of his daughter, seventeen-year-old Raine, and he soon finds
himself pulled deep into the world of the resistance—and into Raine’s life.
So I was very anticipatory of this series after reading the
first book “The Adoration of Jenna Fox” which was, in a word, amazing. The
second book I didn’t like as much, it took on a darker tone and was told from
Locke’s point of view instead of Jenna’s. But I still was invested enough to
read this last installment, and was quite pleased. It still didn’t have the
same punch as the first book, but it was great in its own right. It’s got the
almost obligatory love story, but it tackles some interesting issues—mainly the
question “what is it to be human?” Locke is a great character and very well
written and believable as a teenager turned bio-miracle. Raine is interesting and
their connection was well done, not over done and not treated lightly. The plot
was a little see-through to me, as I knew what was going on from almost the
first few pages. IT was still enjoyable and I’d recommend fans of the series to
read this last book.
I give it a 3.5 out of 5- it was above average and fun to read.
