OVERVIEW: In the series debut The Testing, sixteen-year-old Cia Vale was chosen by the United Commonwealth government as one of the best and brightest graduates of all the colonies . . . a promising leader in the effort to revitalize postwar civilization. In Independent Study, Cia is a freshman at the University in Tosu City with her hometown sweetheart, Tomas—and though the government has tried to erase her memory of the brutal horrors of The Testing, Cia remembers. Her attempts to expose the ugly truth behind the government’s murderous programs put her—and her loved ones—in a world of danger. But the future of the Commonwealth depends on her.
FORMAT: Independent Study is the second book in The Testing Series. Book 1 in the series is The Testing. Independent Study is a YA dystopian novel with romance, drama, adventure, and political intrigue. It stands at 310 pages and was published by Houghton Mifflin Books for Young Readers on January 7, 2015.
ANALYSIS: The Testing was a new, unique dystopian novel that was designed to replace the void YA readers had after reading Hunger Games and Divergent. While it was a quick read, it wasn't a 'wow' book for me. Independent Study is the sequel to The Testing and I have mixed feelings about the series.
Independent Studyfollows the testing candidates after they have passed the testing and are moving into their own independent areas of study. Unfortunately, because the government always knows best in dystopian novels – the government will pick and choose which areas of study a student goes into.
This sequel has so much potential to be a good book, but unfortunately something falls flat. I'm not sure if it is any one thing, so much as it is a bunch of little things that – when combined – turn into an 'eh' book.
Let's start with the main character – Cia. Cia is smart, you would have to be to be picked for the testing and pass it, but somehow in the time from the testing to when Independent Study picks up, Cia turns into this all perfect, wonderful, brilliant person. She knows the answers to everything practically and she knows them hours before everyone else.
Now, normally this wouldn't bother me, but it felt as if the entire book was designed to showcase just how brilliant Cia is to the point it worked the opposite. I understood why the other people didn't like her, I understood why they wanted to take her down. I really don't think this was the desired effect the author intended.
Take the sudden brilliance of the main character and mix it with the extensive info dumping and random plot twist, and you have what is just an alright book. There are huge sections of Independent Study that go on and on to explain how the area got to be like it was, some of the history, and other aspects. It just got a bit overwhelming and felt like it threw off the vibe of the book.
I understand that second books are a tough sell for authors. Authors are tasked with carrying the huge momentum from the first book into the second without any problems. This book unfortunately didn't do it for me. I found myself floundering to get into a groove with the book and it honestly felt like an entirely new series I was starting. I'm not sure if it was the random throwing out there of the two revolutions, the character development changes, or the rather excessive info dumping.
Overall, Independent Study wasn't what I would have expected. It wasn't enough to turn me completely off from the series, but I don't feel the momentum that I felt in the first book. I still enjoy the whole school setting and educational twist, but I don't feel the push to read book 3 like I usually feel when following a series.
I am certain that people looking for a replacement or a similar series to Hunger Games will enjoy this series, but I don't see the attachment forming that I saw in Hunger Games.
