I really loved it.By Gloriamarie AmalfitanoThis book is hard to tag. Please read the plot description. What a complex world Showalter has built. While I am positive I don't want to live there, I am hooked and even have been so rash and pre-ordered volume three which is not available until well into 2018 but I do not want to take a chance on missing it, I am that hooked.Must confess, I found the first 5%, according

2. to my Paperwhite, hard to read. It was a series of communiques between two people and I had no idea who they were or what they were writing about. Although tempted to quit there was an indiscernible something that kept me reading and I am so glad I did. WOW.Talk about living with pressure in one's life. It's bad enough and hard enough to make one's life worthwhile and can you imagine living it knowing it wasn't this life that counts as much as one's next life which is definitely real.Reading this as a Christian, I can't help but think in terms of the popularist view within Christianity that claims that heaven and hell are in our futures. And yet it would be much too simplistic to equate Troika with heaven and Myriad with hell. That would be a mistake. Neither realm is purely good or purely evil, but a mixture. Then, of course, there is Many End where those who failed to commit to wither Myriad and Troika end up and what a mistake it is to fail to commit.Complex plot, complex story, complex people, some things are just not as they seem and my gosh is this a page turner.I really loved it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. AMAZING NOVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!By LCullenSoooo glad I found this gem!!!!! Escapism at its finest for reality!!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL!!!!Loved how Gena weaved in the life triangle not as a corny overused subplot, but as a vital role in the shopping of the novel growth of the characters and us as readers taking this journey with them! The descriptions of all the characters major minor were so well done was left with a virtual tour which is why I said escapism at its finest because was able to immerse myself into this world want to stay feeling everything my characters are feeling!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Pleasant Surprise in a World Full of Same Ol' Same Ol'By Kat'sKeyToTheLibrary (Kat E.)Firstlife was a good read, full of plenty of action, humor, romance, and a few twists that were genuinely surprising.The main character, Ten, sounded much like a broken record for the majority of the book, constantly reminding you that she didn't want to choose a side (Troika or Myriad), but she was still fairly relatable and her repetitiveness was not totally unwarranted-- it was, afterall, a decision about her afterlife and overall fate.The other characters, while at first seeming cheesy and run of the mill, grew a lot throughout the book and I think they all became very lovable and easy to get attached to (and thank goodness, there was no love triangle!).Gena Showalter did an excellent job of not making this an average, commonplace YA novel, and I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the second book after the way she ended Firstlife--it was honestly very surprising and I can't wait to find out what Ten does next! I've been told history is written by survivors. But I know that isn't always true. My name is Tenley Lockwood, and very soon, I'll be dead. This is my storybut the end is only the beginning. Tenley "Ten" Lockwood has spent the past thirteen months locked inside the Prynne Asylum. She's earned her rep as the craziest of crazies, but that doesn't stop the torture. Ten can leave, but only if she allows her parents to choose where she'll liveafter she dies. There is an eternal truth most of the world has come to accept: Firstlife is merely a dress rehearsal, and real life begins after death. In the Everlife, two realms are in power: Troika and Myriad, longtime enemies and deadly rivals. Both will do anything to recruit Ten, including sending their top Laborers to lure her to their side. Soon, Ten finds herself on the run, caught in a wild tug-of-war between the boy she's falling for and the realm she wants to support. Who will she choose? Can she stay alive long enough to make a decision? From School Library JournalGr 9 UpA creative mash-up of dystopian science fiction and otherworldly fantasy. In Tenley "Ten" Lockwood's world, everyone has a First Life, which sets the stage for a Second Life after their first death. There are two main realms one can go to during Second Life: Myriad, a place of indulgence and bliss; or Troika, a place of structure and justice. The divisive factions bring to mind the Peloponnesian War, in which the immoderate Athenians clash with the battle-hardened Spartans. Similarly, Myriad and Troika engage in an epic melee for the souls currently in their First Life. Those who do not choose sides, the Unsigned, are trapped in the Many Ends, a place of constant pain and punishment. Ten currently resides in Prynne Asylum, retained there by her parents since she refuses to choose sides. Friends-turned-foes and recruiters for the Second Lives Killian (Myriad) and Archer (Troika) both come back to the First Life to recruit Ten. Ten is a precious commodity because she is the fusion of multiple spirits and therefore very powerful. As the inmates escape the asylum, Ten undergoes numerous trials and tribulations. Still, she refuses to sign with a specific side. When Ten finally, and unexpectedly, meets with her first death, she ends up in the place she least expects. While the contentious sides of the underworld are interesting, too many convoluted details bog down the narrative. VERDICT An additional purchase for larger YA collections.Amanda C.
