Testing

Testing series.
Despite Cia's unease over several issues (the ethics of the University, her choppy memory of the testing, and her boyfriend's secrets), she remains committed to being part of a solution to repair the damaged Earth. Occasional moments of philosophizing slow the action in this second series entry, but the vivid character development and sharp plot twists easily get things back on track.

Testing series.
The resistance movement against the brutal, Hunger Games–esque Testing system of education has been infiltrated, and a group of elite students, led by protagonist Cia, must figure out whom to trust to thwart a fake rebellion and end Testing for good. Plentiful action; thorny intrigue; moral ambiguity; and complex, troubled characters keep the plot flowing toward stake-raising developments.
