He is a playboy and heavy partier living in the provinces, but he has a very particular set of skills – he is extremely perceptive and can read anyone like a book. Jacob March was kicked out of RUNA many years ago, but we don’t know why. Mae’s assignment is to the exiled citizen, Dr. In the provinces, the RUNA law does not apply, so people can practice whatever religion they want. Her punishment is to travel outside of RUNA to the Panama to the provinces where those who aren’t allowed in RUNA stay. She attacks fellow praetorian from another troop and gets put on a sort of probation. Mae is very self-contained and in charge of her emotions at all time, but her control slips at her lover’s funeral. When Mae is introduced to people as a praetorian soldier, people are terrified and almost want to run away. They are implanted with a chemically charged chip that makes them faster, stronger and very powerful. Praetorian soldiers are the government’s elite line of guards. Mae is a praetorian soldier and a castal. Each person is scanned and scored, a higher number indicates the quality of your gene pool. Castals are at the top with their superior genes, plebians. The social hierarchy is broken up into social classes. Every person in RUNA is embedded with an electronic chip that tracks where they go and how they get there. The government controls almost every part of its citizen’s lives from the religion they’re allowed to practice to how many children they can have. The world is broken down into the Republic of the United America and the EU. This book takes place at a time after The Decline. I appreciated the epic (yes, epic) and beast of world she created. I enjoyed Gameboard of the Gods, but it didn’t capture me quite like her other series did. Seeing that it was a dystopian novel piqued my interest further because I have not read many books in that genre. More recently, I read her Georgina Kincaid series and fell in love with her all over again.
Her Vampire Academy series and its spin-off series, Bloodlines, are two of my favorite series. When I saw that Richelle Mead was working on a brand new adult series, I jumped for joy. March, and some of us are more powerful than others.
