The Gathering
The Gathering: Book One of the Uprising Series | Bernadette Giacomazzo
1 post | 1 read
The Uprising Series tells the story of three freedom fighters and their friends in high -- and low -- places that come together to overthrow a vainglorious Emperor and his militaristic Cabal to restore the city, and the way of life, they once knew and loved.In The Gathering, Jamie Ryan has defected from the Cabal and has joined his former brothers-in-arms -- Basile Perrinault and Kanoa Shinomura -- to form a collective known as The Uprising. When an explosion leads to him crossing paths with Evanora Cunningham -- a product of Jamie's past -- he discovers that The Uprising is bigger, and more important, than he thought.

I've read a lot of YA books of late yet none of them have had the same level of language used as there is in this book. I love the way the author describes the New New York. I've never been but I can almost picture the scene. This was a unique book and takes us away from the usual YA style writing that I'm used to but it was quite refreshing to get this new take on it. I think Giacomazzo has done well & wouldn't mind reading more from her.
