After the devastation of Templedark, eighteen-year-old Ana must stand up for the additional newsouls and figure out the mystery of their--and her--existence.

I can't decide if this book was better or worse than the first one. The plot was better, and it was more engaging. However, the people in the book irritate me. I get that Ana has had a hard life, but she needs to accept it and get past it before she hurts those that care about her. Sam has been incredibly patient with her, more patient than most guys would be. However, he does need to realize that while there is a 5,000 year age gap between them....they are the same age in this life. But having 5,000 years of memories and experiences that someone else does not have would make a relationship challenging to say the least.

Now that more newsouls are being born, the people are even more up in arms about it. That was a very nice plot twist at the end of the book about the reincarnation. I did enjoy that surprise.

This is definitely not a series that I will buy or even reread most likely. I will be reading the third book simply because I do not like leaving off in the middle of a series.

Hopes for the third book:
Ana stops feeling sorry for herself and cuts Sam some slack
The newsouls are freed
Janan is overthrown
Sam realizes the 5,000 year age difference doesn't matter
Less storyline portraying who likes whom

Another 3/5 stars for me

The thrilling and romantic second novel in the Incarnate trilogy, a fantasy series about a girl who is the first new soul born into a society where everyone else has been reborn hundreds of times. As a Newsoul, Ana has always felt alone. Some residents of Heart are afraid of Ana's presence, a constant reminder of unstoppable change and the unknown. When the people turn violent, Ana must learn to stand up not only for herself, but also for those who cannot stand up for themselves. Romantic and action-filled, the rich world of Asunder is perfect for fans of epic fantasy, like Graceling by Kristin Cashore and The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, while Ana's courage to expose the cracks in society and fight for what is right is ideal for fans of dystopian novels.

Gaahhh this was so good! So good I can't even put together an intelligent review at the moment (it's also pretty late). I binge-read this book all evening; I could not put it down. A more detailed review to come when I am more awake and able to form coherent sentences.
