If we were going to kick of a new year, I'm glad we decided to kick it off with this book. I don't know if any of you have remembered, but Alex and I both LOVED Unwind. I named it my favorite book of that year, and while she didn't, it was a close second for her. We both have mentioned it more than a few times, I fangirled over Neal Shusterman when I met him, and I recommend that book to almost everyone I possibly can.
It's good to know that Unwholly lived up to its predecessor. We got to see all of our favorite characters again: Lev, Conner and Risa all returned, but they weren't the only ones. We got to see knew friends and old. There were new enemies and new risks and new things coming at them from all angles that they had to deal with.
My favorite new character was Cam, a boy who was made completely out of parts from unwound kids. You're not really sure if you want to love him or hate him because, just like the kids who are unwound, his rewound status is completely not of his own doing. So really, should you hate the guy because other people decided to take parts of kids and put them together into him?
I really liked the ending of this book, because you knew, just KNEW that things were starting to come to a head. Book three is going to be filled with a LOT and a LOT is going to happen (alternatively, I just happen to know that book three and four were supposed to be one book and had to be split into two, so what does that tell you?)
If you haven't read Unwind, well really, why do you bother to read this blog, because we've been telling you to read that forever now, but really, Unwholly was just as good and should be picked up.
Loved it. Can I just leave it at that? Because I loved it. And then I read UnSouled because I couldn't stop. I'm currently awaiting Undivided from the library.
I adore the concept of Cam, the first Rewound person in the world. By the end of this book, I wasn't entirely sure whether I liked him or not (I made up my mind during UnSouled). I love what Lev gets up to in this book. I really like Miracolina, because other than her, you don't get much of the true tithe perspective (she really insists that she still wants to be tithed, for even longer than Lev did in the first one).
If you like Unwind, you will absolutely, without a doubt, like Unwholly (and UnSouled).
