She’ll finally be able to use her memory skills for good, instead of reporting people as a Watcher.

But a dangerous trap is set, throwing Cadence into unwelcome and unfamiliar territory. Someone in the Collective remembers things that could very well get her killed. The Muse is by her side, after all, but will she be protected when someone powerful wants her dead?

Cadence just wants to be normal, free from politics or squad intimidation. Will she be able to achieve her Elite dreams, or will sinister forces leave her running for her life?

My Thoughts on Flight

Dystopian society comes to life in this novel.  Flight is book three in the Collective Underground series.  I’m not a huge fan of dystopian novels.  They’re not my favorite cup of tea.  But I have to say that the plot of this one kept me reading.  I had to know what was going to happen. 

I have read the other books in this series and do feel that they should be read as a series and in order.  It is my opinion that you will feel lost if you try to just pop into the series by reading this book first. 

This isn’t just a cute dystopian novel either.  In this book you’ve got hope, love, and fleeing for your life.  It’s not just a fight to try to be somewhere or do something, it’s a fight to survive! 

Cadence is a very complex character and I really enjoyed her.  I did feel like I was lost a few times and have to go back and re-read some sections but I think a lot of that is just because my brain isn’t quite formulated for dystopian.  I’m more of a historical kind of gal.  

If you love dystopian you’re going to love this book and series.  If you hate dystopian, I think you should still give this series a read or at least a try.  I’m normally a dystopian hater but I did enjoy this series and will be keeping it on my shelf. My teenagers have loved it!

Interview with Kristen Young, author of Flight

Okay, so Flight is the final novel in the Collective Underground series. Was it hard to write the conclusion?

The funny thing is, Flight was originally book number 1! I wrote the story ages ago, and the manuscript won a Caleb award for unpublished fiction. The prize for that was a manuscript assessment, which came back with the comments, “This is good, but it starts a little fast. Can you add some backstory?”

So the backstory turned into two books?

Yes! Of course, by the time I came back to Flight, there were so many more story threads to follow, so the final result is very different to the original.

What did you change?

Some of the characters in Apprentice and Elite needed to re-appear, and so I had to change some of that. Like Hodge, who didn’t exist when I wrote the first version of Flight. There was also quite a lot of unfinished business that carried over from the first two books, and I felt that they needed some resolution, too. I can’t tell you too many details, though, because that would spoil the fun.

What can we look forward to in the final instalment?

More thrills, more plot twists, and maybe some love. Just a whole lot of excitement, really. But seriously, Cadence is thrown into some pretty difficult situations this time, and she has to re-evaluate her whole mission. There are also some pretty high-level plots going on in the government that might send her a bit of trouble, too…

Love? Does that mean what we think it does?

I’ve already said I can’t spoil the fun of reading.

Oh, go on. Tell us.

Sorry. You’ll just have to read it. 🙂
