Unsouled by Neal Shusterman

 


Genre: Young Adult, Science Fiction
Source: I purchased

This third book in the Unwind series takes us deeper into how unwinding began. Connor is rescued by Lev once again. The Graveyard is raided and most of the unwinds are captured. They are all searching for Sonia to get answers to hopefully stop the unwinding. What they learn is very nefarious.  The parts pirates turned my stomach. How could someone take people, whether they are to be unwound or not and sell them for parts? Oh yeah, we have people who kill others for their organs. Not much different than the parts pirates. We learn something from Sonia that could have prevented the unwinding. We also learn why unwinding wasn’t stopped.  Shusterman keeps the tension going. He keeps giving us more to learn about the characters we have come to care for so much, and at the same time introduces us to new characters. Some of them we love and some of them we love to hate. We have a group of teens who have had to grow up way too fast, yet still behave like teens.  You can feel the tension in regards to the unwinding situation building to a point where there will be no turning back. It is an all or nothing outcome.
