"Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa, and their high-profile revolt at Happy Jack Harvest Camp, people can no longer turn a blind eye to unwinding. Ridding society of troublesome teens and, in the same stroke, providing much-needed tissues for transplant might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question. However, unwinding has become big business, and there are powerful political and corporate interests that want to see it not only continue, but expand, allowing the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished. Cam is a teen who does not exist. He is made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds. Cam, a 21st century Frankenstein, struggles with a search for identity and meaning, as well as the concept of his own soul, if indeed a rewound being can have one. When a sadistic bounty hunter who takes "trophies" from the unwinds he captures starts to pursue Connor, Risa and Lev, Cam finds his fate inextricably bound with theirs"--

I am really glad I discovered this series again. Just like the last book I sped trough this one pretty fast. Because there are some many different stories at the same time it really makes you wanna read more. It???s really good at keeping you interested and keeping your attention. I really likes chapters that were written from the planes point of views. I nice twist in the writing that I enjoyed. I am looking forward to reading part 3.
One thing that did bother me in this book is that almost all the ???teams??? that we follow during this book is one guy and one girl. And there is always some promise of romance or sexual tension between them. First I find that very annoying. I don???t care for romance that much, especially if it forced upon the reader. Second is this, like many other things in the book, very heteronormative. There were even blue and pink body bags.
great successor for the first book - loved diving into the world some more
Summary: After escaping the harvest camp, the unlikely heroes of Unwind continue, in their own ways, to fight to make sure that other unwinds never have to face the horrors of unwinding. Things won’t be easy, though, because, as it turns out, the Anti-Divisional Resistance, the group working to keep unwinds safe, is not nearly as effective as Connor, the new leader of the country’s biggest unwind hideout, would like it to be. Not only that, but there are forces—both from outside the hideout and within its gates—actively plotting against Connor and the hideout’s established order, and the Proactive Citizenry group has created an entirely new person—Cam—out of the parts of Unwinds as part of a campaign to make sure everyone stays on board with the practice of unwinding.
Turning out to be such an amazing series! Excited to read the rest of the books, but also scared cause that's a lot of room for heartbreak.
