Freedom Trials

Thank you to Page Street Publishing for a copy of the ARC in exchange for a fair review.

Evelyn needs to complete her trials in order to be considered rehabilitated and set free, and she has just found out that she is to start her trials. However, failure means death and with her reputation the other inmates will jump at the chance to put her to death.

When she meets new inmate Alex, and he seems to know her she wonders what happened in the missing time. Evelyn doesn't actually remember her crime, but from what they told her it was just a few days, but she really doesn't get how Alex can know her if that was true.

As she begins her trials and uncovers the truth will Evelyn be able to keep it together long enough to be free?

This had a ton of potential and a really interesting premise, however I think it just got a little crazy with all the twists in the end. It feel more than a little flat for me. I mean the trials were pretty bloodthirsty and twisted but then when you find out it just makes it more unbelievable at the end.

I really couldn't connect with any of the characters, I wish they had been fleshed out a bit more, and I wish she would have stuck with the first premise and built it from there. I mean dystopia world in which kids have to do like 7 trials in order to be considered rehabilitated and failure means death. Crazy interesting right?
