About
this book:
“Hana is Greater. It’s a future she never envisioned for herself, but she’s not about to ignore the opportunity she’s been given--the opportunity to find answers about her Mom, Jamie, and Fischer. This could be an opportunity to tell others the truth about God and uncover the secrets the Great Supreme has been keeping from their small, struggling nation. When Hana’s search brings her to the mysterious prison she’s only heard of in rumors, the desire to get inside drives her to dig deeper for answers, but what she uncovers may be bigger than them all. Can she save herself and the others before the Great Supreme realizes what she's doing, or will she give up everyone she loves in her quest for the truth?”

My personal Rating-
Because
the love triangle seemed more prevalent in this sequel and there were
a few harming others scenes (which appeared to be necessary at that moment) I
didn’t quite enjoy this one as much as the first book.
“Deliverance” reminded me of the second book
in the “Anomaly” trilogy because of said love triangle and because our
main girl is taken to another city and experiences cultural shock. I do
think Hana trusted too many people in this book—which I understand her trusting
nature because of her upbringing, but I was so afraid she would be ratted out
by someone.
The faith
content wasn’t as high at the first book, but still has the message of
spreading the gospel.
I am
definitely looking forward to reading the third and final book soon to see what
happens next. :)
See y’all
on Friday with a new review!
