Summary/ product description: “Mila has been running for
her life for so long. But there might be nowhere left for her to go. Especially
now that she’s an incredible danger to herself and anyone who dares get close
to her.
That’s
why Mila has gone into hiding with friend and tech expert Lucas. She can’t take
the risk of hurting people worse than the way she hurt Hunter: the boy she’ll
always love, the boy who might never forgive her for what she’s done.
But then
Mila discovers that General Holland—her ultimate enemy—has plans that are an
even bigger threat to humanity than she is. His quest to reclaim Mila is only
part of a larger mysterious endgame that will put people’s lives at stake. Mila
must make a choice: either push aside her fears and fight him with everything
she’s got…or turn her back on the world forever.
My Review: Redemption
is the 3rd and final book of the Mila 2.0 trilogy. It was pretty
awesome. If you have not read this series, then don’t read this review below
the first paragraph. The series is about a teenage girl android named Mila who
was created as a weapon. You may enjoy this series if you enjoy the Terminator
movies, Chappie and Transcendence, and TV shows like AMC’s Humans, Fox’s Almost
Human (cancelled after 1 season), Bionic Woman, other robot-android-cyborg TV
or movies. Also book like the Insignia series by S.J. Kincaid, Robin
Wasserman’s Cold Awakening series (about a girl who’s mind was downloaded into
and android body), Unremember by Jessica Brody, False Memory by Dan Krokos, The
Taking by Kimberly Derting, or Altered by Jennifer Rush.
At this beginning of the book, Mila is in a cabin in
the mountains of Montana with Lucas (General Holland’s pacifistic and genius nephew)
and his older brother Tim. Mila just discovered that there’s a bomb inside her
body that can be trigger at anytime and has a 2-hour countdown. They stay in
the cabin for a while, but decide to ditch it and get a car. They make there
way to Philadelphia, in search of information on what happened to Sarah, the
girl that Mila was design to look like, and who’s brain matter lives in Mila’s
head.
Later they run into Daniel, Samuel, Abby, and Hunter.
Hunter is especially angry seeing Mila again. Mila had killed his stepfather
under Quinn’s influence. Quinn had taken away Mila’s emotion and controlled
her. Hunter, who was madly into love (or interested) with Mila until he found
out what she is (an android weapon) acts like she has the measles and don’t
even want to look at her.
In the last book they had such an adorable romance.
Hunter loves anime, and he’s funny, and he found out that his stepfather works
for the Vita Obscuro. Some romance develops between Mila and Lukas. He knew
what she was from the start, and knows that she’s got part of Sarah’s brain in
her head, so she’s not completely mechanical. Mila and Lucas joke about her
androidness. He completely accepts her
The group visits the school that Sarah attending on
the suspicious Watson Grant and discover that something sinister and possibly
General Holland-related it going on there. I’m a bit disappointed in the
ending. Similar to the disappointment of Allegiant’s ending. I like happy
ending better. What’s with the martyr, sacrificing trend?
Cover Art Review: I love the purple. I miss the cover
being metallic though.
