Seventeen-year-old Cia Vale survived The Testing, as has Tomas, the boy she loves, and they have both gained admission to the University. She has a promising future as a leader of the United Commonwealth and no memory of her bloody testing experience, thanks to a government-sanctioned memory wipe. Cia should be happy but is plagued by doubts about the past and future.

Determined to find the truth, she embarks on a path of study forbidden by the government delving into the Commonwealth's darkest secrets. What she finds is the brutal reality lurking behind the friendly faces of her classmates and the unbearable realization that leaders chosen to protect us can be our greatest enemy.

I very much enjoyed the developments in this novel! I wasn't sure if I would read the third book, but now I definitely will! The new characters and plot developments are much less predictable and keep the reader guessing...

More twists and turns than the first!

It’s such a good book and it leaves you on a cliff hanger wondering what will happen in the last book! Personally I think it’s better than The Testing! I recommend this series!

Amazing book!

What did you like best about Independent Study? What did you like least?

I have to state that I did enjoy this book, it wasn't as good as the first one but it was okay. I feel that its biggest downfall is in the main character. She seems almost too perfect. She is able to do just about anything and never seems to falter. Cia, doesn't seem to have any flaws, she figures out all puzzles put to her with little effort and knows a little bit of everything, its barely a struggle.

This world actually seems a little more devious and brutal than some of the other dystopian novels I have read. In this world life is a more dangerous and not so obvious.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Left me wanting to pick up the final installment. Not sure I would have without this ending.

Would you be willing to try another one of Elizabeth Morton’s performances?

I am still struggling with the narrator of these books. Her voice is very bland and almost monosyllabic with occasional inflection thrown in making it easier for my mind to wander or me to zone out while listening.

Do you think Independent Study needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

yes, you are left dangling.

Not as good as the 1st - picks up in the last 1/4

More twists and turns abound. Who is your enemy? Who is your Ally? Why would the people in Charge choose to repeat History? Why make the Testing so murderous and will the President be able to stop it all? And here we thought getting into University was tough!

Chilling

I took a break from the series after I read the first book and forgot about the terrible narrator when I bought the second one. She has no inflection, has a terrible arsenal of "voices" for different characters, doesn't whisper, laugh, breathe correctly or do anything to indicate that a character is experiencing anything other then monotony. She also sounds like a twelve year old in a reading support class.
The story itself is reminiscent of The Hunger Games trilogy and the Divergent series with a heroine being better than everyone else and somehow being chosen to overthrow the government. It's aight.

The narrator may ruin the whole series

Unbelievable you have to read too grasp just how good this book/series is. It’s full of passion for what’s right, the determination to change the sadistic system. Yet the passion and corruption on the other side, to keep things status quo. It’s unthinkable what these students are put through when excepted to go off to college for their education. They first need to go through a test of wits, bravery, pressure, problem solving, will to survive, compassion and when to have no compassion.

Once they finish this test the ones who make it go onto college. What a relief right....wrong they never stop being tested. It’s a test of wills and intelligence throughout, between the teachers, a rebel group that isn’t what it was supposed to be, students and a President who seems to be trying to do what’s right!

I’m onto the next book in this amazing series. I can’t wait to find out what happens between these different fractions. Who will have the smarts, patients, tenacity, and be able to out wit the other fractions? I can’t wait to find out. This book and the others in the series are, sit on the edge of your seat, eyes bulging in disbelief, emotional rollercoaster, unpredictable, ride. You’re just not sure if it’s to hell, or salvation.

Unbelievable

These books are some of the best I have 'read ' in at least a year. I liked the audio books so much that I am going to buy the books and add them to my library .

Love this trilogy

What made the experience of listening to Independent Study the most enjoyable?

The politics behind the testing is better explained and feels more plausible than in the first book. I like that Cia is her own person that makes her own decisions based on what she thinks is right.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Independent Study?

The part in the old zoo was interesting.
I saw most of the ending coming but there was still a part of the ending that was unexpected.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Elizabeth Morton?

No. I don't think that she was a good choice for this series. Most voices sound the same.

Any additional comments?

This book is more developed and interesting than the first. Thomas is not in this book as much as in the first one, which is a good thing in my opinion. He is too perfect with few character flaws, which makes him uninteresting.

Better than the first book
