Gathering Blue

In this sequel to The Giver, we meet Kira, part of a dystopian society where any malformed or diseased person is left out to die. Kira, who has a club foot, was spared at birth by her mother's political clout, but now that she's dead, Kira must find a way to make herself indispensable or will suffer death by starvation and exposure. Fortunately, she is skilled with needlework, and is recruited by the village elders to refurbish an ancient robe depicting the history of the people. As she learns the art of dyeing thread, Kira uncovers dark secrets about the leadership and her society. While I very much enjoyed this novel, it didn't have quite the impact that The Giver had on me, possibly because the climax wasn't as intense. Recommended for anyone who enjoys dystopian literature.

Nouvelle dystopie, même si j'ai du mal à voir le rapport avec le Passeur (peut être dans le tome 3?) l'univers décrit est très intéressant, tribal, violent, a l'opposé totale de la société décrite dans le premier volume. Les personnages sont attachants et l'histoire, bien qu'elle mette du temps à se mettre en place, est très intriguante. Impatient d'embarquer dans le troisième volume.

After reading some of the other reviews, I was hesitant to read this book. In all honesty it is very different from the giver, but it is a good book.
The best way I can tell you how to read this book is to assume it takes place in another village outside of the giver village or just forget about the giver when reading this book. This book revolves around a girl that has a handicap with one of her legs, she experience loss, she grows throughout the story and learns the truth.
