This leads him to send her to Prynne where he gives the head doctor full license to torture her (though he doesn’t want her permanently injured) until she decides to pledge to Myriad and therefore ensures her father’s survival. Ten’s father works for Myriad and is fairly high up for a human, however, the fact that he cannot get his daughter to pledge to Myriad, makes him a target of his higher ups. The catch is that they have to choose where they want to end up before they die, because if they die without pledging to either side, they’ll end up in Many Ends, which is a scary, dark place with no way out. In the world Showalter created, everyone lives through what is known as their “Firstlife” and when they die they’ll either belong to Troika or Myriad, two different worlds (at least I think they’re worlds) with different belief systems for the rest of their Everlife. Right away we’re introduced to Tenley “Ten” Lockwood who is locked away at the Prynne Asylum for her refusal to choose a side in the ongoing battle between Troika and Myriad. *cracks fingers*įirstlife, interestingly enough, was the first book I finished while I was away. Either way, I’m back in town with three reviews that I need to work my way through. One of them was a reread (I wanted to remember the first book before I dive in to the second book), so maybe that’s why I was able to blow through it so quickly. I finished five books – three of which were over 400 pages long, one of which was in the 600 page range. Well, I was totally right about how many books I would finish while in the land of no internet and no cell service.
