This is a good sequel - it continues the saga of a world in which Christians are hunted down and imprisoned so they have to hide away from them in the trees, underground, or in other inconspicuous places.
Yet God has given them special gifts, such as being able to tell anyone what to do and they have to do it - or sensing danger that they will need to survive.
Dove and her Grandmother have been sent on a dangerous mission - to tell the Council and its’ leaders that they must not kill the Unbelievers in a few weeks, but instead they are to leave them alone.
They reach their destination and the Governor tells them - the young people need to go live among them and teach them the truth - something that the Believers are afraid to do.
Dove and her Grandmother must go to the secret radio station in Portland and broadcast the need to stop the war and make peace - but on the way Dove’s Grandmother is killed and Dove is caught and imprisoned.
Dove has to risk her life in a “Survivor” type of challenge - you will have to read the book for yourself to see what happens to her and her world!

After receiving the vote for the Reclaim, Dove is back home. But the struggle is not over as her grandmother intends to set the vote right. This sends Dove on a journey that will put her through even more danger. Her story continues in Erin Lorence’s Fanatic Surviving.

The book picks up several months after the first one ends. Dove is still facing her doubts, which makes her character so relatable. She has to stand alone with some of what she has been called to do, even though it would be more convenient and easier to conform. These problems come from both unbelievers and fellow Christians. Her story serves as an illustration of what Christians face while standing in their faith. She also lives out how we should love others, even when they believe differently than we do.

The plot does a good job of keeping your attention all the way through. With the descriptions, you can easily imagine what goes on, and the characters are realistic. The writing is clear and simple to understand. Though it is aimed at youth, I think adults can enjoy it, too.
