Independent Study is the second installment of The Testing. The story follows Cia as she goes to college, but now she’s getting more tests thrown at her. But now some of the government has grown suspicious of her. They are determined to see her fail. Now will she be able to get through even more tests when she’s being watched at every turn?
I’m so so so close to finishing the series! I’m glad I wound up giving the story a second chance because I have really enjoyed the series so far.
Yet again, though, my only issue is that Cia is too smart for her own good, unfortunately. This story has absolutely no supernatural elements. At least not really. But it kind of seems like she has a “supernatural” element to her smartness. Also, most classes that most students have are seven, while Cis is stuck with nine. If those with fewer classes are stretched out to their limit then exactly how is Cis even managing? No, she has no room to fail, or she will die, but when does it become too much? If it were me, I probably would have just given up because her life is not a life worth living.
But the story has quite a of twists and turns that I wasn’t quite expecting. For starters, there’s one person I was kind of hoping Cia would wind up being with, but something happened to him at the end of the story that very well pissed me off. I hate that that happened, and that’s partly why I’m so excited to read the next book.
I just hope that Cia fails a little bit and she’s not so “perfect” at figuring things out. Also, I hope she’s able to kick some butt in the next book and that she’s possibly able to see her family again.
I’m really looking forward to getting to the next book and seeing if I like it or not. If you want more dystopian books, you can find those here.

This is going to be a new series that I’m going to try and work on. I always feel like I’m super behind when it comes to newly released books. It kind of makes me feel like I’m missing out because there are so many books that are coming out that look really good.

Granted I didn’t get to them until I was in high school but I’m so happy that they came around when I was young. It was so beneficial to me to be able to read books that actually have strong women. I have never been a strong person. At least I don’t feel like I have ever been. So, it was nice getting to read a book where there were women my age that are actually strong. Seeing (or rather reading) that sort of thing made me want to be as strong as they are. I wanted to learn and be able to kick butt. Because of that I wanted to create a post of books like hunger games and divergent for those who want more!

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! I’m so happy to see you here. Today I’m writing a review about Legend by Marie Lu. I just found out about this book recently through TikTok (if you’d like to follow me there you can find me here) and I just had to get my hands on it. I’m surprised I have never heard of this book before getting on TikTok since I really enjoy dystopian novels!
