![]() ![]() The romantic interests affect much more of the plot in the wrap up of the trilogy, so this might irritate readers who prefer a lighter touch in the weak-in-the-knees department and something less neat and tidy than a last-boy-remaining-gets-the-girl ending. ![]() Despite Kyla’s secretive behaviour, many of the other characters warm to her immediately and risk their lives for her (boys and men in particular-four of whom are vying for her heart over the course of the three books). The rest of the trilogy continues, and amps up, the romantic angst begun in the first book. There’s even a hint of a lesbian character. ![]() ![]() The mother-daughter-sister themes are explored further in the second and third books, with the introduction of more intriguing female characters: Kyla-as-Lucy’s mother and grandmother, and a number of potential sister-friends at their boarding house. But when Kyla discovers that innocent children are being Slated her resolve to stop the government is cemented. She embraces each identity in turn, and the friends and family who go with it, only to find layers of betrayal and lies behind it all and new twists to her history. Books 2 and 3 in the Slated Trilogy, Fractured and Shattered, continue the gradually unravelling mystery of the six identities of Kyla as she tries to discover who she really is, why she was Slated, and why she was so thoroughly prepared for Slating if her capture was as accidental as was made out. ![]()
