Summary : The following days/weeks Cassia and Xander are working hard to find a cure to the mutation. Cassia tries to find out which ingredients would be needed, but she constantly has the feeling like she is forgetting something really important. Xander is working in a laboratory for the chief-medic, Oker. Oker also helped creating the original virus and it´s cure, then left the society when he was close to his final banquet. One day Oker has an inspiration and is sure, that he has found the ingredient needed to find a cure. They gather the flowers (-> camassia, it's a kind of lily) and make produce the cure. But once they receive permission to try it on the patients, Oker realises he was wrong - the secret ingredient is a different flower. He tells Xander to get rid of all the cammassia-cures and leaves to get the herb, that should help. Unfortunately he has a heart attack on the way and dies. But before he died he managed to scetch the flower he wanted to get on the floor

Summary : One day when Cassia goes to see the Archivists, she is told, that there has been a transport to Camas (that's where Ky and Xander currently are) organised for her. She goes to place where she should take off and meets Indie, who takes Cassia to Camas, where Xander and Ky join her. They finally get to see the Pilot, who wants to talk to them about something while flying them to the mountains. The Pilot is suspicious towards the three of them because he has been told that they were traitors. Luckily, those were just missunderstandings and Cassia, Xander and Ky agree to help the Pilot in finding a Cure for the mutation of the Plague. That's why they are transportet to a village in the mountains, whose villagers are all immune to the illness. There has been an institute set up for research concerning the mutation and how it can be cured. Xander helps by providing medical information he gathered while working as a medic for the past few weeks and Cassia sorts data for t

There was not really much going on during the last 70 pages, but it's so hot outside right now that I had to take a break from reading. So why not post a blog entry? Summary : A few months have passed and the Plague is thought to be under control. The Rising has taken over and most things are back to normal, though rules have been loosened. Cassia spends most of her free time with the Archivists. She is now working as a Trader for them, which means she can trade with regular people in the name of the Archivists and has some privilegs. But she believes, that the creative work of regular people should be appriciated, so, together with an aquaintance, she sets up a place called "the Gallery", where everyone can come to and expose their own artwork, means poems, stories, paintings, etc.. Some people even sing there from time to time. One day during Xander's shift at the medical center, there are patients brought that show strange symptoms. Giant red marks, all over t

I'm finally going to finish this series! YEEEAH. I'm SO excited to finally see how it ends!! No, just kidding, I already know that the third book will probably be the worst one. But let's do this anyway! I'll continue with the summary right where I stopped, I hope I mentioned everything that's important now in one of previous blogs.... Summary : This time the book is written from three different perspectives, Cassia, Ky and Xander, so it won't be easy to properly describe what's going on exactly, but I'll try. Cassia has been sent to Central by the Rising to work as a sorter and has been told to wait until she gets a 'special' task to do. One day she receives a message from Ky telling her to meet him at a lake, late at night. When she's about to leave her apartment, an Official appears and tells her to come with him to her workplace. Cassia immediately knows that this is the opportunity the Rising was talking about and sorts eve

Yeeeaaah, I really managed to finish the book on time! Proud of myself. ^^ Last post for now, I will continue with the third and last book as soon as I find the motivation to. Or exactly three days before that book is due in about two months … I won't answer the questions like I did for the last book because the answers would be almost the same since it's the same series … and because I think nobody from my class did that anyway. Anyway: Last post – enjoy! Summary : Next goal for the group: Find the Rising! The problem: Ky doesn't want to join them because he doesn't trust them and believes, that they are no better than the Society. When Ky tries to burn a map they found, that should lead them to the Rising, Cassia comes there right in time to safe the map. Of course she is angry, confused and other bad, melodramatic emotions that would fit to the situation. But however, they have to get going, before it's too late. The next morning the gr

There are about 70 pages left by now ... I'm well on schedule for a change! 1, or maybe 2 posts left ... depends on how much happens in the last chapters. Summary: After walking around in the canyon like for forever, Cassia and Ky finally find each other! Purely coincidental!  ((Well, just to let you know, a few hours before Vick (Ky's friend) died because the Society poisoned the river... but that's irrelevant right now.)) What counts is, that Cassia and Ky are now all lovey-dovey and can't keep their hands off each other for longer than five minutes. Really, the two of them act so corny at times, that I think i got to throw up! Eli and Indie must be annoyed too... Whatever, their relationship will be ignored from now on. What counts is, now that they have found each other, their next goal is to find the Rising! Back, when Ky was at the abandoned village, he saw one single house lighted at night, but didn't dare to come closer. Now they decide to go
