REVIEW: Generation by Heather Hildenbrand

After months of pretending to be Raven Rogen, Ven feels less like a clone and more like a human than ever. But when Raven’s father, Titus—the same man who engineered Ven—discovers her plan to escape, everything she’s worked so hard for is taken away in one explosive moment.
Now she’s imprisoned in Twig City, the secret warehouse where she grew up. She spends her days plotting ways to get back to the outside world, determined to topple Titus’s empire and free every last Imitation. But Titus’s reach is extensive and his plans are more deadly than she realized.
In the shocking conclusion to the Imitation series, one wrong move could mean the end for Ven and everyone she’s come to love.

MY THOUGHTS
After the horrible cliffhanger ending in the last book, I definitely needed this book in my hands. Thankfully, this book begins where book two left off. Ven wakes up in Twig City, imprisoned again. She's determined to get back outside and see her friends in the rebellion, to see what's left of the rebellion. But she's been 'asleep' longer than she thought and the rebellion is beginning to grow, even inside Twig City. The Imitations will be freed and Titus will be stopped, but Ven needs to figure out how exactly she can do that.

While the second book had middle book syndrome, this book definitely did not! It took a bit for the book to pick up of pace, of course, but as most conclusions go, there was a lot of action. I'm going to be a bit vague here. Conclusions are high on action, but also high on answers and spoilers! Let's just say that a lot happens in this book, and I am satisfied with the conclusion!

I remember what I really liked about the first book was the change in Van. In the first book, she's really out of her element. She doesn't see herself as human. It is outstanding the amount of change between the beginning of book one to book three. Ven is now a strong girl who believes in a cause and has even become some kind of leader in a rebellion. She had to go through a lot to get to this point, but it's a very interesting how she has changed and grown.

As for romance, I was torn about it in the last book. The romance bothered me in the last book. In this book it didn't bother me. I wasn't wild about it, but it didn't distract from the plot at all, in fact it took the backseat, which I like.

IN CONCLUSION
Overall, this is a great conclusion to a very interesting sci-fi trilogy! I enjoyed this series, and I do recommend it! I have a ecopy of Heather Hildenbrand's other book, Dirty Blood, so now I guess it's time to start another series by her!

I hereby give this book

3.5 Stars

Meaning: I liked it, but it wasn't quite amazing.
