| Kyla, with a happy ending |
Summary: In Fractured, Kyla recovers some of her memories. She is not sure what is what and continues her quest to find out who she is. Also, her friend Ben had removed his wrist device and she has no idea if he even survived. Kyla joins the terrorists and helps them prepare to go after the Lorders who control who gets slated.
In Shattered, the plot becomes very iffy. Kyla isn't sure who she is or who to trust -- she is being used by some of the terrorists and her psych doctor seems to be a part of the Lorder system. She continues to try and find out who her parents were. She seems to be protected by the system. Her dreams continue and bring back memories of her past.
Your opinion: These books continued to hold my interest. Kyla had all kinds of close call adventures, but all was resolved in the end -- almost too neatly. I had a little trouble with why she seemed to be so attached to Ben. I hadn't thought it was that serious a relationship in book 1. There were some very surprising developments regarding Kyla's "real" mother. I did love some of the technology presented, such as the "environmentally friendly high speed train" and the coded footsteps to the right train.
