How far will you go when you have nothing left to lose?

This review is spoiler-free for both Rise and the entire Eve trilogy
Not including this final (unfortunately or fortunately, I've not yet decided) and ever so disappointing installment, I do love this trilogy, and will not forget the emotional impact Eve had on me when I read it months ago. The Eve trilogy was one I'd recommend at any opportune moment available, and I held back on none of my praise, despite the fact that the vast majority of my friends felt indifferent to the first two novels of...more

SPOILERS AHEAD. SPOILERS AHEAD.
I must say, I devoured this series. Luckily, because I started Eve only a few days ago, I didn't have to wait for the next books in the series.
Rise picks up after Eve marries Charles and Caleb is killed. Needless to say, the book was significantly less enjoyable without Caleb in it, which warrants the three star rating. The memories of his times with Eve mentioned throughout the book were not enough to make me feel he had a presence in it. However, (view spoiler)...more

I'm very conflicted about this book. I read it in just a few hours and had to know what happened, but now that I'm finished, I just don't know how I feel about it.
What I liked (no spoilers): Eve's determination and strength, new growth in characters, lots of action and surprises.
What I didn't like (no spoilers): I know the book is long, but everything seemed rushed and not fully explained. I would have liked more information about some of the new characters or explanation of how some of the surp...more

Have you ever read a series and then been so excited to read the last one , hoping all your questions and answers would be solved ? However, instead you are left with one of the biggest cliffhangers of all time and you just hope that the author will have a change of heart and write one more book ? That's what happened to me as I read Rise by Anna Carey. First things, a positive was the fact that I have enjoyed this series and it would have to be one of the better teen dystopians I have read and...more
Rise is a thrilling conclusion to a fantastic dystopian trilogy, that wowed me from book one. With nothing left to lose, Eve feels as if her world has ended. Trapped and living a lie, the only thing that keeps her hope alive, is her precious memory of Caleb and the revolution. Anna Carey paints a desperate portrait of love and sacrifice, how far one will go, who to fight, and what to leave behind. Dark and dismal, her world will be forever changed by the choices she faces.

I am not an excessively critical reader. I can generally overlook holes in a story when the overall book is good, but this story had more holes in it than swiss cheese. Eve and Once had a few issues that I could easily put aside, but this was just ridiculous. It didn’t even feel like the same author. I expected fireworks. I craved the intense emotional connection that I felt throughout the first 2 books of the series, but felt nothing. There were several moments that I reread paragraphs because...more
Okay, so let me start with the fact that I like this series. It isn't my favourite, but I like it.

Most of you are lucky. Once came out in July so that means you only had to wait about nine months to get Rise; to read how this whole trilogy ends. Especially with the way Once ended. I, on the other hand, had to wait thirteen, long, painful months. That is one of my two negative things to say…and obviously this has nothing to do with the book. Just me whining about how impatient I am; however; the wait is worth it, I think and I will tell you why.

This book was great! I could barely put it down, I think in total it took me about 6 hours to read?! I loved the suspense build-up and the character relationships. Honestly, I can't really pinpoint why I like this series so much, because it's not really original, it's very similar to all other dystopian novels, but I love them all and this trilogy is no different.
To be fair, the writing wasn't fantastic, and at times a big anticlimactic, but I personally got into it really quick...more

Let me first start by saying that I am sad to see this series end. I have loved both books but when I got this one I was afraid because when a series ends it is always with a heavy heart that I read it. Sometimes it is a hit and sometimes it is not but I have to say that I enjoyed the ending but I really needed more. I still have some questions but that is okay because I plan on re-reading the books all in a row so I can see if I answer my own questions.

*Book 2 Spoilers*----Wow! Let's start off with, narration again was awesome. Good job Tavia Gilbert! Anna Carey has done an AWESOME job with this final installment of this trilogy! My heart was crushed at the end of the last book when Caleb dies. I got this book/audiobook hoping there was some kind of mistake. Eve must carry on without her love and continue the fight for freedom that Caleb was unable to finish. She must kill her father! Come on with an ending like that, how can you not have to r...more
It felt like the author kind of rushed into this ending and left out a few scenes that woukdve imoroved the book and some emotion at times too. The whole story is very emotional, though at some parts gets old and unemotional. There are shocking secrets that don't let you stop. And then there were the plans...so many twists, they never seemed to go right. It was exciting yet a tad bit predictable as well as other things too. Based on the theme and the past, you could predict some things right or...more

I liked this book more than the first two because I felt more attached to the characters and I felt the story of revolution rang true. I still had the same concerns I had with the earlier book - I felt the world didn't entirely make sense, but I was willing to suspend that disbelief.
I found myself routing for Eve but also really frustrated with her. Couldn't she see that her husband was just trying to be helpful and kind to her? She could have been nice to him, even if she didn't love him.

I seriously have a thing against chapters beginning with a recap of something that was done after the previous chapter ended. I seriously do.
Maybe, otherwise, I would be okay with the book. The only thing I didn't like with the plot was how the biggest aim was killing Eve's father. Other than that, the plot was okay. Not too good, and not too bad, just okay. Nothing remarkable.

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
OK, REALLY??????? That ending literally made me scream. I really really really wish she would have given us more. I kind of had that "everything is going to turn out for the good" feeling, so when she learned Caleb was alive I was excited to see what the reunion was going to be like. Especially when she learned he was unable to use his legs and i REALLY wanted to see his reaction when he found out that Eve was pregnant.

Once again I enjoyed the Eve series. I do have to say that I didn't remember much of what happened in the previous two books. And I'm not sure I was ever really caught up. But I enjoyed the story nonetheless.
I liked Anna and all of the girls. I felt bad for Charles, the man that Eve was forced to marry. He seemed like he would do anything for her.
The plot was interesting and kept me hanging on. There were several little twists and turns. And the big one at the end--there were no clues that it w...more

I looveeed this book so very much the whole series I loved and this was probably my favorite one of them BUT I hate absolutely hate when I don't get satisfaction at the end of a book, when I don't get closure.

And I think now I will sing :
I can't get no Satisfaction

I mean Eve is a great story . But Caleb and Eve had a deep and invincible love. Why would the ending be so abrupt, lame and incomplete? Why could we not see how the two of them collapsed into each other in the end of this war?

I am very annoyed that this is the final book of a "trilogy". If this doesn't become a quarter I will not stick with my rating....because it ends horribly. The book was a fast read, and although some of it felt like a 'same place different day' scenario, the plot did progress and it did have just the right mix of suspense and feel good fiction. But ending it the way that she did was not only cruel but the perfect set-up for another novel. It opened doors instead of closed them. I don't need all...more
3.5 stars.
I don't know how to feel about this book. I'm a bit sad and depressed now that this trilogy has finally come to an end. Though I'm a bit rattled by the ending.
I'm so excited to read it for my questions to be finally answered. But now, it just left me with more questions. Especially about Charles, that through Once and this book, I had finally come to love.
The thing about this book is while reading it, I can feel the grief Eve is suffering because of Caleb's death (and more), which I t...more

When I finished reading the first book in the series, Eve, I believe I said it was a 'light' dystopian. It was easier to read and wasn't as stressful as many dystopian's. By book two things were heating up quite a lot though and felt like maybe it just wasn't as light as my original thoughts. The middle book was probably the best book of the trilogy, actually, which is unusual. Anyway, I've enjoyed the journey very much. And while I did like this one, I did have a few issues that made it maybe...more

What a lovely cover.
Another book that I finally got a chance to finish and ....yet I don't want it to end.
I'm going to start off with the ending. The last line of the book is solid and awesome yet there has to be more. Please tell me there will be another book cause it CAN NOT end that way. It just can't. Not after finally finding the answer that I had been searching for and then BAM over? I think not. With that said, the plot is awesome.

I have not been a fan of the Eve trilogy, but something about Anna Carey’s writing (and all the cliffhangers) kept making me come back. Rise is the final book in the series and definitely the strongest, though I imagine it will eventually be as forgettable to me as the first installments. I don’t want to spoil the first two books for any potential readers, so let’s just say that the revolution really begins in this one and that Eve must play a very important role in it.
